Team: Northwestern Wildcats
Coach: Chris Collins (10th season)
2021-22 record: 15-16 (7-13)
Season finish: No postseason
Players returning: Boo Buie, Chase Audige, Ty Berry, Robbie Beran, Julian Roper II, Brooks Barnhizer, Matthew Nicholson
Players departed: Ryan Young (Duke), Pete Nance (North Carolina), Casey Simmons
Key additions: Tydus Verhoeven (UTEP), Luke Hunger, Nick Martinelli
Outlook
Northwestern is returning two very capable guards to help run their offense, but losing Ryan Young to Duke and Pete Nance to North Carolina hurts their frontcourt seriously, and the Wildcats did not do enough in the offseason to replace that production.
