Scouting Northwestern
Northwestern comes into Tuesday’s game with a 10-11 record and 1-7 Big Ten mark, as the Wildcats look to snap a seven-game losing streak. The Wildcats are led by second-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 went 14-19 last year, including wins at Indiana and Wisconsin.
Northwestern has been streaky at times during the season with four and five-game win streaks along with three and seven-game losing streaks. The Wildcats have battled in Big Ten play, as six of their eight games have been decided by five points or less or in overtime. The Wildcats lone victory in Big Ten play was a 51-47 win at Rutgers on Dec. 31.
Freshman Bryant McIntosh has emerged as one of the Big Ten’s best freshmen, as he leads the Wildcats in scoring (12.7 ppg) and assists (4.5 apg), while shooting nearly 40 percent from 3-point range. Tre Demps gives the Wildcats another scorer, as he averages 12.1 points per game and has hit a team-high 32 3-pointers. Alex Olah is a force in the middle with 10.7 points per game and a team-high 6.7 rebounds per game, while ranking fifth in blocked shots (1.7 bpg).
