WATCH: Frigid temperatures no problem as Northwestern goes shirtless for pre-game warmups

Northwestern must be feeling good after clinching the B1G West, but the Wildcats have to be a little cold for Saturday’s pre-game warmups.
The forecast for Saturday morning in Minneapolis has temperatures in the mid-20s while the wind makes it feel like temperatures are in the teens. That kind of cold will make most people bundle up, but the Wildcats did not let the weather faze them.
Strength coach Alex Spanos led the team out in a cutoff shirt and shorts for warmups while the team went shirtless in the frigid cold. Northwestern on BTN shared the video of the Wildcats heading out into the cold:

Adam Hoge with WGN also shared a look at some of the warmups, though there’s likely nothing warm about them:
