How is NU still in top 20?????
My guess is that you never played a competitive sport in your life.
Northwestern just played 5 games in 28 days all on the road against 5 current Top 10 teams the last game was played on one day of rest.
Stony Brook was playing on 12 days of rest and they have not played a single top 10 team. Maybe that is why they are not prepared come Tournament time.
