Northwestern is renovating its basketball arena, so the Wildcats have had to play their home games at Allstate Arena — the former home of DePaul — this season.
But the Wildcats still wanted to do something special for the seniors in their final home game, so they got creative. The Northwestern seniors will design their own uniforms for their Thursday game against Wisconsin.
Take a look:
Our seniors don't get to play their final career home game in Welsh-Ryan Arena.

Scottie Lindsey, Bryant McIntosh and Gavin Skelly are Northwestern’s seniors. They’ve accomplished a lot together — most notably, they helped bring the Wildcats to their first-ever NCAA tournament last year.
Northwestern is 15-14 despite having been ranked in the preseason AP Top 25. Regardless, this is a fun wrinkle for some players who’ve brought so much to the program.
