West Lot Pirates

This week we preview the Men's title game between Michigan and Villanova, examine the tourney as a whole, celebrate the Notre Dame Women's Championship run and preview the Frozen Four coming up later on this week.

It was an unbelievable opening weekend for College Basketball and promises to continue through the Sweet 16 all the way to the Final 4.  Not to be outdone, the NCAA Hockey Tournament starts this weekend as well! We look through the four regionals and discuss some favorites for the Frozen 4.

With the NCAA Tournament tipping off today, we bring back Scott Sepich, our resident bracketologist, to look at the tourney as a whole.

In this week's episode, we look back at both the Men's and Women's B1G Tournaments, the NFL Combine and Lacrosse.

This week we talk about the end of both the Men's and Women's nomadic seasons at Allstate Arena and ETHS Beardsley Gym. Then it's time for some Winter Olympic talk.

This week we turn our attention to the Women's Lacrosse squad as they start their season on fire. This has all the makings of what could be a really fun season on the lakefill.

Even though there was not much drama this year, we still need to talk about the incoming football class of 2018. Also, don't look know, but there's a little bit of a pulse in the Cats' NCAA hopes.

This week we welcome in Louis Vaccher from WildcatReport.com to talk about the state of Northwestern recruiting.

We are fired up this week. Basketball is on a 2 game winning streak and BTN just premiered an amazing documentary on the 2016/17 Basketball season. However, there are some major issues going on at Michigan State and believe me, we have thoughts on the matter.

With the Basketball season looking more and more like a wonk season, we immerse ourselves in some recruiting probabilities.

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.

What a roller coaster of a Music City Bowl! Sam and Erik go through all the ups and downs as we look back at the Northwestern victory and briefly look ahead to the National Championship game.

Just days away from the Music City Bowl we take a good hard look at Kentucky before we break down the College Football Playoff. 

This week we continue our previews of the 2017 Bowl Season by chatting about the second half of the bowl games.

This week we start our previews of the 2017 Bowl Season! We take a snap look at the first 20 bowls.

The matchups are set, flights and hotels booked and we're all ready to get into Bowl Season! Northwestern will be taking on Kentucky at the Music City Bowl in Nashville in a battle for Wildcat supremacy.  We take a quick look at Kentucky before we get into some of the other big Bowls. We also ride the insanity of the coaching carousel, although as crazy as it's been, we should maybe call it the coaching roller coaster.  Finally, we check in on hoops as NU gets further into a bit of an odd start to the season.

The regular season is over and the Cats are 9-3. What a way to finish the year; a 7 game win streak, a chance for a 10 win season, and, oh yeah, the LOLHat stays in Evanston where it belongs. This week we break down the game, look ahead to Championship Week, and try to wrap our heads around the absolute craziness that is the 2017 Coaching Carousel.

It may have been a frigid, rainy day, but that didn't stop the Cats from rattling off their sixth straight victory.  Join us as we look back at Senior Day and Northwestern's domination of the Gophers.

The winning streak continues as Northwestern took down Purdue on a chilly night at Ryan Field. Fortunately, this one didn't go to OT. We talk about the game, look ahead to the Gophers game this weekend and recap the first 2 games of the Men's Basketball season. Finally, we remember back to each of our first memories of College Football.

Another week, another overtime, another Wildcat victory! This week, we recap the game and celebrate the first ever FBS team to win three consecutive overtime games. We also touch on the Men's Basketball squad as they begin their quest to go back to the NCAA tournament this week.
