<p>NU athletics are at a crazy exciting point right now. Men’s basketball has a shot at making the school’s first NCAA tournament EVER. Football is coming off an exciting season with a thrilling run to the Outback Bowl (which NU lost but which scored a few spots in that night’s Top 10 plays on Sports Center). The baseball team made a trip to the Big Ten Tournament this season and was super exciting to watch. Lacrosse, of course, has been a powerhouse for years. Tennis, golf, soccer, wrestling, etc., etc…competitive in all those, too.</p>
