Revisiting the history between Northwestern and UCLA basketball (Inside NU)

It's not 2013 anymore. Chris Collins isn't a new coach and Northwestern has gone dancing.

Ten years is a long time, and it certainly has not been seasons of the ‘Cats coming out on top, but like it was written for To have a win over a reputable team would have been huge for Collins and a reborn program, but its own relatively strong shooting night, occurring without its leading scorer Drew Crawford at the time, was overshadowed by a triumphant showing by UCLA. The Bruins squad featured Kyle Anderson and Jordan Adams, two offensive stars that had just helped lead UCLA to a conference win, and then, to a sound win over the ‘Cats. The Bruins eclipsed the ‘Cats by 14 points in ’69 and 13 in ’62. Much like it was back in November 2013, UCLA is a solid team capable of a deep run into March, and Northwestern is the underdog, grateful for the opportunity to compete. Hoping for a third win — and a bit of a miracle too — Northwestern gears up to play No.
