It’s been 38 whole years since Northwestern has been to the Big Ten Outdoor Championships. Now after four decades, the Wildcats made its return and had some podium finishes to go along with it. My story with @insidenu.bsky.social on the weekend is out now at www.insidenu.com/northwestern...

Even limited to just two representatives, Joe McKeown’s WNBA disciples are in the midst of two very different stages with Veronica Burton becoming one of the leagues rising stars in Golden State, and Nia Coffey getting another opportunity in her homecoming with the Linx.

The Cavaliers took care of business behind some stellar play from Mitchell, Harden and Mobley in the 115-105 win. But one Cavalier's quiet night could spell out disaster if it becomes a trend... My recap on game 2 is out now.

Northwestern women's golf closed the regular season at the Therese Hession Buckeye Invitational, finishing 8th in a 14-team field at Ohio State. Ashley Yun led the 'Cats with a T5 finish at +6, closing with a 1-under 71 on Saturday. Full recap from Drew Christmann out now:

after run-ruling uic two days prior, northwestern's offense was no where to be found as purdue swept the wildcats in dominant fashion. more on the offensive struggle out now on @insidenu.bsky.social

G Jake West has officially confirmed on X that he will make a return to Northwestern for his second season. West averaged 5.3 points and 2.8 assists in his first-year with the Wildcats. A big chance for West to capitalize on a strong freshman campaign with an even bigger role.

Daniel Svärd's T-14 finish at 9 under wasn't enough to carry the 'Cats past 12th as Northwestern went up against three top-10 programs in a loaded 16-team field at the Haskins Award Invitational. Drew Christmann recaps the ‘Cats weekend in Augusta.

Kat Righeimer earned her scholarship, waited for her chance and delivered when it came. Looking back at the California guard’s season and the case she made for a spot in Carla Berube’s rotation.

The clock ended it before the Wildcats could. Northwestern drops the series to No. 17 Oregon after a drop-dead time provision cut Saturday's game short with the bases loaded and the tying run on deck. www.insidenu.com/northwestern...

It’s officially been twenty games with James Harden apart of the Cleveland Cavaliers. In my newest piece, I take a look back at how the experiment has gone and how the Cavs window for a championship has never been more open.

There is no line between tanking and rebuilding — and OKC proved it. My argument on why tanking is an inevitable side effect of the league we're in, and anything to change that only widens the divide between the big and small markets of the NBA. drewchristmann.substack.com/p/there-is-n...

No. 4 Northwestern fell to 5-2 after last night's 9-6 loss to No. 14 Syracuse at Ryan Fieldhouse. Madison Taylor struggled for most of the night as the Wildcats racked up 21 turnovers while sophomore Molly Guzik scored six of the Orange's nine goals.

Northwestern's season is over after an 81-68 loss to Purdue, but what this team showed is worth remembering. www.insidenu.com/northwestern...

The ‘Cats know what it takes to hang with the Boilermakers. Now they have to finish the job. Drew Christmann has the three keys for Northwestern to earn its second straight upset in the Big Ten Tournament.

Sports are built to feel like an escape. But in January, the distance between the #NBA & the world outside it collapsed. From a road trip in Minnesota to #Cavs players addressing violence, empathy and what it means to be human beyond the game. #LetEmKnow #NBASky www.cleveland.com/cavs/2026/01...

BREAKING Greg Bovino has been removed as Border Patrol "commander at large" and will return to El Centro Calif, where he is expected to retire soon. A stunning turnaround after Pretti killing. Bovino's traveling blue city crackdown is over www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...

ICE murdered Renée Good in broad daylight. Less than 3 weeks later, they killed Alex Pretti, shooting him 10 times. Every day, we watch as people are ripped from their cars, their homes, their lives. We can't allow ourselves to look away from this cruelty. Abolish ICE.

WILD.

First big play of the game as Mendoza finds Cooper cutting across the field for a 25-yard pick up on 1st and 20. New set of downs for the Hooisers.

@nba.com why are there so many clock issues this year

Northwestern is still searching for its first Big Ten win, and the going only gets worse with No. 13 Illinois coming to Evanston. Read @drewchristmann’s three keys to the upset. www.insidenu.com/northwestern...

All those missed free throws will haunt the team in the locker room…

Jake West had a really good opportunity on the last shot but is blocked by Buchanan. Northwestern is unable to get their first big 10 win against Ruckers, losing 77-75.

Buchanan is short on the last free throw
