With the whole band back together, we look back again at the Northwestern win in the Music City Bowl before recapping a wild National Championship game between Alabama and Georgia. We also begin our big pivot to the hardcourt as we talk some Men’s Hoops and a much needed win over Minnesota. We are your premier Northwestern Sports Podcast!
