You can read the preview here. Collins has improved Northwestern every year, and this year they're likely a bubble team.

Quick rundown of their starting 5:
  • SG Scottie Lindsey: excellent shooter, and smart with his shot selection.
  • SF Vic Law: All-around small forward with good skill, athleticism, and is a very good shooter with his feet set. Law isn't phenomenal athletically or at creating his shot, but he can still score in a variety of ways and may be Northwestern's most dynamic player.
  • PG Bryant McIntosh: Distributes well and has good size. He's been more of a high volume shooter than Wildcat fans would probably like.
  • F Sanjay Lumpkin: Benilde-St. Margaret's wing that's most effective around the basket and can play as a 4. Good rebounder and defender. Alright shooter with his feet set, but jumpers aren't his strength and thus he's a low-usage player on offense.
  • C Dererk Pardon: First game back after being out a month with hand surgery. Low-volume player offensively but a shot blocker and the heart of NU's defense.
