Northwestern’s women’s basketball team is less than a tantalizing topic of discussion nowadays. After all, what is there to talk about? How NU had more than four times as many total wins as conference ones — nine to two? How the ‘Cats allowed more than 80 points in eight contests? How they averaged almost 18 turnovers a game?
In any case, the point of this article is not to nitpick a squad that’s painfully aware of its deficiencies; I, for one, am optimistic that things must improve for Northwestern next season. Rather, let’s celebrate the golden days of NU basketball: the pro games dominated by some program greats, namely now-WNBA players Veronica Burton and Nia Coffey.
