It was Senior Day at Welsh-Ryan Arena Saturday afternoon as Northwestern recognized seniors Craig Moore, Sterling Williams, Patrick Houlihan and Marlon Day. Northwestern defeated Iowa 55-49 after a sloppy first half of play.

Pre Game Dining
Before the game, we ate lunch at Buffalo Joe’s located at 812 Clark St. Although Buffalo Joe’s has three locations around Evanston, the Clark St. location is the only location that serves beer.

Obtaining Tickets
I met a former colleague at Buffalo Joe’s to purchase his extra tickets to the game and paid face value. We also paid $10 to park in the “official” Northwestern parking lot rather than park a few blocks away on city streets. If you are planning to buy tickets from scalpers for the game try to park on the west side of the stadium. If parking on the east side, you still need to walk to the west side of the stadium anyway.
