[NU Sports] 10 minutes until game time

[Weinbaum, Willie]

NU is listed in today's paper as a 3-1/2 point favorite over Baylor.

This note from the end of the Tribune's column:

No. 7 Baylor will be the highest-ranked nonconference opponent Northwestern has faced at home since Duke visited in 1989 and left with a 103-77 victory.

Northwestern had to get a waiver from school administrators to play Sunday's game because Monday is the beginning of finals week.

"Scheduling is rough," Carmody said. "But you have to get these games in."
