Illinois Basketball: Evaluation of the Northern Kentucky Norse

Illinois needs to parlay that win into another win today when they take on the Northern Kentucky Norse.

Northern Kentucky Overview

The Norse are 1-0 this season with their lone win over Earlham. This wasn’t a win over a DI opponent, but it was a 41-point confidence builder nonetheless.

Leading Scorer

The leading scorer for Northern Kentucky so far this season is freshman forward, Carson Williams.

Williams is a 6-foot-5, 230-pound forward that can really throw his weight around the paint.

In the first game against Earlham, Williams dropped 15 points in just 15 minutes of play.
