Let’s start this thing off with a prediction that I’m fairly confident in:
Northwestern men's basketball is going to be very, very bad next year.
The ‘Cats have lost Pete Nance, the anchor that propelled them to much of the minimal success they experienced in 2022. Casey Simmons, arguably their best chance to replace Nance’s star power in the years to come, has reportedly entered the transfer portal. Ryan Young, their most reliable name off the bench, is gone, too. They’ve added no one that stands a chance to fill the gaps left behind by those players.
