Northwestern women’s basketball is coming off a solid 2021-22 season, in which it just missed out on the NCAA Tournament despite going 17-12 overall and 8-8 in conference play. However, there’s one small problem now: Veronica Burton is gone. How significant will that loss be for Joe McKeown’s squad, and can younger players such as Jillian Brown and Caileigh Walsh take big leaps? Inside NU’s staff determines how that will impact NU’s record this year.
Gavin Dorsey: 16-13 (9-9 B1G)
This year’s record is entirely dependent on how the young players step up for Joe McKeown.
