Former Blue Devil Chris Collins, Northwestern Off To A Great Start
Quinn Harris-USA TODAY Sports Dec 26, 2020; Evanston, Illinois, USA; Northwestern Wildcats head coach Chris Collins with his players during a time out in the first half against the Ohio State Buckeyes at Welsh-Ryan Arena.The only private school in the Big Ten, Northwestern is used to struggling in basketball. The Wildcats were a Big Ten joke for years, a predictable win for just about everyone. Seven or eight win seasons were common.
Former Duke star and assistant coach Chris Collins managed to get Northwestern to the NCAA Tournament a few years ago for the very first time which was a huge deal. Keep in mind that the tournament was started in 1939. It took awhile.
