Team Information

The Northwestern Wildcats Basketball schedule is your roadmap to Big Ten matchups in Evanston, Illinois—where Northwestern University’s men’s basketball program has been competing since 1901. The Wildcats play NCAA Division I basketball in the Big Ten Conference, proudly repping purple and white with an identity built on energy, toughness, and smart play. If you’re looking for a college hoops night that feels close, loud, and personal, Northwestern is a great ticket.

Northwestern’s modern story has plenty of milestones, highlighted by three NCAA Tournament appearances (2017, 2023, 2024). The program’s first NCAA Tournament berth came in 2017, a breakthrough moment that also ended the longest NCAA Tournament drought among major-conference men’s programs at the time. That same year delivered major national attention—Northwestern earned its first AP Top 25 ranking and climbed as high as No. 8. In March, the Wildcats’ highest NCAA Tournament finish to date came with a Second Round appearance in 2017.

A few key names define the Wildcats’ rise. Chris Collins (head coach 2013–present) led Northwestern to that first NCAA Tournament in 2017 and later returned to the bracket in 2023 and 2024. Before him, Bill Carmody (2000–2013) helped shape the program’s modern identity with multiple 20-win seasons and postseason appearances. On the court, Wildcats fans recognize standout contributors like John Shurna, Evan Eschmeyer (the 1999 Big Ten Player of the Year), Jannero Pargo, Bryant McIntosh, and Boo Buie, a major face of the program in the early-to-mid 2020s.

Game day in Evanston comes with its own edge—Northwestern has a small-arena, close-to-the-floor atmosphere that turns intense fast when Big Ten games tighten up. The student section plays a big role, and “Go U, NU” is a familiar cheer around Wildcats athletics. Rivalries help set the calendar, too, with regular conference tension against Illinois, plus frequent, high-energy meetings with Indiana, Purdue, and Wisconsin.

Today, Northwestern continues to build a reputation in the Big Ten under Collins, with a modern identity tied to defensive toughness, experienced guard play, and winning close games in conference play. With the Wildcats proving they can compete year after year—and capable of beating ranked opponents—there’s real momentum when you see them live. TicketPurchase.com makes it easy to be part of the excitement with secure tickets, real-time seat maps, and verified checkout.
