What the hell, Northwestern? After taking down Illinois and Indiana, the Wildcats beat Purdue Wednesday night in double overtime.

In fairness to Purdue, the Boilermakers might have been distracted by the shooting on campus earlier in the day.

Still, it's a huge win for Chris Collins and his team. And just as importantly, if not more so, he's bound to be making an impression on recruits who might not have taken the program seriously before.
