EVANSTON, Ill. -- Bidding is now live at NUPurplePricing.com for single-game tickets for five Northwestern men's basketball home games this season. Single-game tickets for the Wildcats four additional conference home games at Welsh-Ryan will go on sale to the public on Friday, December 5, at 9 a.m.
