Northwestern needed to win tonight after losing two straight to Illinois and Michigan St. Although Northwestern played poorly (19 turnovers and shot 32%), they were able to pull out the victory over Texas-Pan American (who are now 1-16 after the loss) 53-44.

Obtaining Tickets
I already had my ticket to the game since I bought season tickets at the start of the season.

Post Game Dining
After the game I picked up Papa John’s for the wife and myself. My strategy is to attend the Northwestern men’s basketball games while Nicole (a Sociology Ph.D.) works at the Sociology department – then we generally eat after the game.
