“I would put up with 20 mutes on Around The Horn if I got to lead SportsCenter with Northwestern tournament highlights. . . as long as we did it on site! Nothing, not even the call of duty, could keep me from being in the arena when Northwestern finally takes the court in an NCAA Tournament game. Just seeing that purple ‘N’ logo in the Tournament Challenge was great enough. Can’t wait to see the Purple and White in action.”
*Adande is now the director of Sports Journalism at Medill, in addition to his role as ESPN contributor/NBA sideline reporter/Around the Horn panelist.
