Share this: If Northwestern finally makes the NCAA men’s basketball tournament this season, we’ll all likely look back at March 1 as the night the Wildcats broke their program-long curse. And what a way to do it. It appeared as though Northwestern and Michigan were heading to overtime with their Big Ten Conference clash tied with 1.7 seconds remaining in regulation, but the Wildcats made sure that didn’t happen. Instead, Nathan Taphorn inbounded the pass and tossed up a Hail Mary the full length of the court to Dererk Pardon, who made the game-winning bucket as time expired to give the Wildcats the 67-65 win. Go crazy, Northwestern. At 21-9, now looks as good a time as ever to make your first ever NCAA Tournament. Thumbnail photo

Cam Talbot Makes Key Save On Patrice Bergeron’s Golden Opportunity From Slot

Bruins’ Offensive Struggles Dominate Storyline In Loss Vs. Maple Leafs
Share this: The Boston Bruins didn’t have any problems creating chances in Saturday’s 4-1 loss to the Toronto Maple Leafs — they had a 33-20 advantage in shots on goal — but their offense struggled to finish. “I think, when you look at what’s happening to us right now, when you can’t score, you can’t win hockey games,” coach Claude Julien told NESN’s Andy Brickley and Jack Edwards on “Bruins Overtime Live.” “You can create chances all you want, but if you’re not going to score, every goal that goes in against you is being dissected, and it kind of makes the guys second guess themselves and the confidence level isn’t there.” Hear more from Julien in the video above.
