[NU Sports] Wildcats 68, Michigan 62

[SjT (Stephen J. Truog)]

A nice win indeed - dunno if we can call it season-saving yet, but certainly a win you want to make a note of for later. With a rough schedule at the start and those two tough league losses, we needed this one with Wisky coming on off of their big win.

Beating Michigan is fun, but beating the Badgers is even better. 

Let's go Cats!!!
