Northwestern basketball is preparing to head to Spain, where they will play five exhibition games against professional teams on a preseason trip. Prior to their departure, the program held a media day Wednesday. Chris Collins and players spoke. Here's what they had to say:
Injuries
Nate Taphorn has a right foot injury. He was in a walking boot Wednesday, and is out for the Spain trip (though he will still go on the trip with the team). Taphorn is expected to be back once the team begins its post-Spain preseason practices.
Aaron Falzon also did not practice Wednesday, but is day-to-day, and is expected to be back soon.
