When Northwestern women’s basketball head coach Joe McKeown said early in the 2022-23 season that he was spoiled with Veronica Burton for the last four years, he may have underestimated just how the Wildcats were with the seventh pick in the 2022 WNBA Draft.
After going 17-12 in the 2021-22 season, the Wildcats came crashing down to 9-21 for their 2022-23 campaign. It was the ‘Cats’ worst record since McKeown’s first season at the helm, and their 2-16 Big Ten record was the worst since 2008.
Northwestern’s signature win was a 15-point, second-half comeback at Wisconsin to pick up its first Big Ten win of the season after losing its first nine.
