Schedule/results- https://nusports.com/sports/mens-bas...hedule/2019-20
Northwestern has had the same starting 5 in all four of their games. Their best player and leading scorer is 6'10" sophomore forward Pete Nance, who is the son of former NBA star Larry Nance, and the younger brother of current Cleveland Cavaliers player Larry Nance, Jr., who was once a Bradley recruit, and visited Bradley when Geno Ford was head coach. He averages 15.3 ppg and 9.0 rpg. Their other 4 starters are 6'7" sophomore Miller Kopp (11.8 ppg), 6'10", 235 pound redshirt center Ryan Young (11.5 ppg), 6'3" grad student guard who was a scholarship LaCrosse player (4-time All-American!) who did not play basketball at Loyola-Maryland Pat Spencer (7.5 ppg), and 6'4" junior guard Anthony Gaines (6.5 ppg). They get very little production from their bench. Northwestern is about the worst 3-point shooting team in the country. As a team, they shoot only 22.7% from three. That ranks 349th out of 353 teams in Division I. They don't take many threes. They are 17-75 on the season (through 4 games)-
Stats- https://s3.amazonaws.com/sidearm.sit...tats_11_22.pdf
Their top 3 scorers are their 3 forwards/big men. Nance, Kopp, and Young all average double figures. They do not get much scoring from their guards. Guard Pat Spencer averages 7.5 ppg and he shoots 11% from three. Guard Anthony Gaines averages 6.5 ppg and shoots 16.7% from three. That might be the worst perimeter shooting pair of starting guards in the country. Their top 2 reserves (6'9" forward Robbie Beran- 4.8 ppg and 6'2" guard Boo Buie- 4.0 ppg) are both freshmen.
Roster- https://nusports.com/sports/mens-basketball/roster
Northwestern has been picked by virtually everyone to finish last in the 14-team Big Ten. They lost their top 2 scorers and much of their production from last year's team which finished 13-19 overall and 4-16 and dead last in the Big Ten last season (2018-19).
This is Head Coach Chris Collins' 7th season at Northwestern. He has had only 1 winning Big Ten season so far.

Bradley is only 1-8 all-time against Northwestern, but the Braves do have a 1-game winning streak. The last time they played was 11/30/1985, and Bradley won 76-72. Maybe that is why Northwestern hasn't played Bradley since then.
