2017 March Madness: #8 Northwestern vs #9 Vanderbilt

We are here to help you fill out your brackets and finally beat your cubicle neighbor in your office pool this year.

Northwestern was an answer to a trivia question for a long time. Well, they are no longer applicable since they will finally make their first appearance in the NCAA Tournament. It was the goal when they hired head coach Chris Collins in 2013.

There hasn’t been much buzz around Vanderbilt since everyone is talking about Northwestern’s first tourney bid. The Commodores have enough shooters on the team to make a run.

Can Vanderbilt upset Northwestern in Salt Lake City?
