For the first time in a long time, Northwestern men’s basketball is on break. After playing seven games in 17 days, the team is in the middle of a nine-day pause between a win over DePaul and an upcoming game against Chicago State Monday. The break will provide the team a chance to really hit the practice floor for the first time in weeks; head coach Chris Collins says he wants to put in some new sets, fine-tune late-game execution, and work the press break and the defense.
With the quasi-vacation, it makes sense to take a look at how Northwestern has fared this season, and where it’s headed.
