Northwestern comes off a solid win against Purdue and prepares to head up to Minneapolis to take on the Gophers. Sam and Erik talk about the game and look back at the beautiful chaos of week 11. We also look at the playoff picture as it currently stands and discuss the NU Basketball team as they tip off the season. We are your premier Northwestern Sports Podcast!
