Preview from a Northwestern perspective.

The article says NW at home, but the game is in Lincoln so home for NU.

I noticed my local NET TV listing shows women's basketball tonight at 7 pm. It doesn't say what teams, but I'd assume NU.
 
I don’t usually complain about overall officiating, but tonight’s WBB against NW was painful to watch for either fan base. A foul was called on average every 53 seconds of game clock, 45. The crew would not let the delicate ladies play big girl ball. I felt sorry for both teams. Excruciating! Maybe these crews should be forced to work men’s games once in a while to keep some balance. Maybe they were issued new whistles.

It makes it hard to watch good basketball. I found myself getting caught up in a game of 'what did they see there' instead of 'wow nice play'.

My favorite was the whistle late in the game where they had to go to the video monitor to figure out what they even called.
