Northwestern players cheer on basketball team in full pads

After getting in some work at the football facility on Saturday, some Northwestern football players decided to make the short walk to the Wildcats basketball game against Penn State.

And they did so in full pads.

As the Wildcats pulled away and increased their lead in the second half, the football players helped get the student section – and the rest of the arena – fired up.

The Wildcats won their third straight game on the hardwood and are now 13-14 (4-10 Big Ten) on the season.

The football team will open spring practice on Wednesday after going 5-7 in 2014.
