[NU Sports] Big Ten teams on winning streaks going into 2007

Tue Jan 9 10:52:27 CST 2007

As it turns out, the only Big Ten teams to finish the season with a victory were NU, Penn State and Wisconsin.  The Nittany Lions and the Badgers just happen to be the two teams that we will not face next season.  Yes indeed, every conference team we play in 2007 enters the season with a losing streak!  As for our non-conference opponents, Duke, Nevada and Eastern Michigan also ended 2006 with a loss.  Only first-game opponent Northeastern finished this past season with a victory.  -- Jim B.
