Dec. 20, 2007

EVANSTON, Ill. -- Head coach Bill Carmody recently gave the Big Ten Network an inside look at one of his practices for a feature that aired on Wednesday's edition of Big Ten Tonight. Carmody was mic'd up during practice as the Wildcats prepared for Thursday's 8 p.m. contest against Howard.

Thursday evening Northwestern head coach Bill Carmody will attempt to become just the second head coach in the history of the Wildcat basketball program to win 100 games at NU. Carmody enters the game with a record of 99-117 in eight seasons at the helm of the Wildcats. Arthur Lonborg posted a 236-203 record at Northwestern from 1928-50.

Following the game against the Bison, Northwestern will not play for another 12 days until it opens the Big Ten season at home against Penn State Jan. 2. The Wildcats' four games this month match the 2005-06 team for the fewest games played in the month of December in the last 60 seasons.

Big Ten Tonight airs every night at 9 p.m. CT on the Big Ten Network.
