EVANSTON, Ill. — Studio N's The Foundation, a documentary-style series that goes behind closed doors of Northwestern's athletic programs, extends its run on Comcast SportsNet Chicago this winter to follow head coach Chris Collins and the men's basketball team's 2016-17 journey. The Foundation: Northwestern Basketball debuts on Thursday, December 29 at 4:30 p.m.
The series, which followed Northwestern's 2016 football season, provides fans with never-before-seen access to practices, meetings, team travel and gives a glimpse into the lives of student-athletes off the field.
The first season of The Foundation was released in the spring of 2015 and documented Northwestern football's spring practice campaign. A second season of the series, Northwestern Basketball — Summer 2015, followed the Wildcats' men's basketball program as it went through workouts in June and July, and culminated with the team's foreign tour of Spain.
Each of the first two seasons of The Foundation were named finalists for a College Sports Media Award for Outstanding Program Series, presented by Sports Video Group and the National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics (NACDA).
While previous seasons of the series were distributed exclusively online, each of the six episodes of The Foundation: Northwestern Basketball will be a full half-hour show on Comcast SportsNet Chicago and also will be available via BTN2Go in addition to NUSports.com and on the Northwestern Athletics YouTube page.
The series finale of The Foundation: Northwestern Football, which will feature the Wildcats' appearance in the 2016 New Era Pinstripe Bowl, is scheduled to air on Wednesday, January 4.
