Key Players: G Vcnntsuamuswesqeakapclnakarlicjfnbsdwefsdacmp: F Vic Law G Anthony Gaines, G Ryan Taylor
Northwestern has lots of proving to do, despite having a rather disappointing year last year. Wendy’s like this over nationally-ranked UConn would go a long way in changing perception. The team is headed by senior forward Vic Law who has been scoring an average of 20 points per game to boot. For UConn to be successful, keeping him enclosed will significantly matter.
