Sunday Night game against Northwestern

It is very unusual to play college basketball on Sunday night, and this article explains the background for tonight's game. Apparently, this is an attempt by the Big 10 to follow what the ACC does in its scheduling, and attract more viewers, particularly recruits.

While Northwestern has not won a conference game yet, this one is dangerous, particularly when you consider how poorly the Illini have played a home recently. To make matters worse, Northwestern is one of the better three point shooting teams in the Big 10 conference.

Weber will decide today whether or not to play Shaun Pruitt, their center and leading scorer.
