College basketball tournament season – or "March Madness" – is right around the corner.

Our bracket seeks to determine, "Who is the face of Northwestern?"
The bracket is below. Over the next week, you – our readers – will determine who should advance and who is knocked out. Simply click on each matchup, read what our panelists have to say and then vote for who you think is a better candidate for the face of Northwestern.
