Without Alex Olah and Vic Law, Northwestern knew points would be hard to come by in conference play. Yesterday's loss was a prime example of that.
EVANSTON — Before the 2015-16 season even started, the Northwestern Wildcats were dealt a major blow when starting small forward Vic Law underwent season-ending shoulder surgery that would keep him off the court for his sophomore campaign. But Chris Collins' team was able to withstand that loss during non-conference play, winning 11 of its first 12 games against mostly subpar competition.
Then, after a 103-67 win over Sacred Heart on December 21st, it was announced that senior center Alex Olah would be out indefinitely with a foot injury.
