Overview: Northwestern is finally on the way up after a record-tying 17 wins and earning a postseason appearance for the first time since 1999. They could surpass that this season and finally make the NCAA Tournament with four starters returning. However, they have to replace thid-team All-Big Ten guard Craig Moore and his 14.3ppg and 320 career three-pointers. The Wildcats will have to learn on senior forward Kevin Coble (15.5ppg, 4.8rpg) and junior point guard Michael “Juice” Thompson (9.9ppg, 3.7apg). Coble is 6-8, but just 200 pounds and added strength would improve his rebounding numbers. Sophomore forward Jon Shurna (6-8, 7.3ppg) returns along with 7-foot sophomore center Kyle Rowley (3.6ppg), who at 280 pounds, is coming off a fractured foot. Jeremy Nash, a 6-4 senior guard is a very good defender, who could get the starting nod replacing Moore. If they go for more scoring, rangy 6-5 freshman Drew Crawford, son of NBA referred Dan, could be the real deal. He finished third in the Mr. Illinois voting, averaging 25ppg and nine rebounds.

Outlook: Northwestern could be in the thick of things if they can replace Moore’s production from the outside. Carmody finally seems to have the program set in the right direction as recruiting has really picked up.
