Scouting Northwestern

Northwestern comes into Sunday’s game playing for one of the first-round byes next week in Indianapolis. The Wildcats are 19-11 on the season and 7-10 in the Big Ten and are assured of finishing ninth in the standings, but could fall to the No. 11 seed with a loss on Sunday. Northwestern brings a two-game winning streak into Sunday’s contest following Thursday’s 71-61 win at Penn State. The Wildcats are led by third-year coach Chris Collins, who spent 13 seasons at Duke under Hall of Fame Coach Mike Krzyzewski before taking the Northwestern job prior to the 2013-14 season.

The Wildcats, who are averaging 72.3 points per game and shooting 36 percent from 3-point range, feature a strong backcourt in sophomore Bryant McIntosh and senior Tre Demps. McIntosh averages 13.8 points per game and is second in the conference with 6.7 assists per game. Demps is 12th in the Big Ten in scoring at 15.4 ppg and leads the Wildcats with 65 3-pointers. The Wildcats also have a solid post game with senior center Alex Olah, who averages 10.8 points and a team-high 5.2 rebounds per game.

Miles is officially coaching for his job next year, right?....

[AFhusker]

This team is just going through the motions. It is pretty much unwatchable. Thank god the season will be over this week.

I think he would need two more years like this to be on the hot seat. He has the excuse of using a ton of freshman in his rotation who didn't have college experience. But that doesn't explain the lack of effort which has made most of this season unwatchable.

They have quit on the season, no doubt about it. After 30+ games this team has shown no improvement, actually regressed quite a bit. 18+ wins next year or Mr. Miles can find a new job.

If next year is more of the same I could still seeing him getting one more year after that, but not two... no way. Of course, that's just my opinion.

He finishes under 500 again he won't see the second year.

[B.B. Hemingway]

I think recruiting will buy him some time... I'd like to see him get a couple years to see what he can do with the talent he's accumulated these past couple years.

[huskerfan2000]

as much as I think it won't matter because of the lack of, well a number of things, Miles will get another 2 years.
