Northwestern-North Carolina Preview

North Carolina's next opponent is coached by a man that is very familiar with one of the nation's most storied programs.

Northwestern is led by former Duke star Chris Collins, and he'll bring an unbeaten squad into Monday night's CBE Classic semifinal against the Tar Heels, who are set to lose their No. 1 ranking in the wake of their first defeat.

Collins played at Duke from 1992-96 and served there for 13 seasons as Mike Krzyzewski's assistant. The second-year Wildcats coach is excited to see how his underdog 3-0 squad will fare against one of the favorites to win the national title.
