INDIANAPOLIS — We’ll never really know what would have happened in 2015-16 if Vic Law hadn’t missed the entire season with a shoulder injury that robbed the team of its best wing scorer.
Northwestern went 20-12 last season, finishing 8-10 in conference play, but the Wildcats fell to Michigan (in overtime) in the first round of the Big Ten Tournament and failed to make any postseason tournaments.
It was a season, like most in Northwestern basketball history, that started with promise, had some high points in the middle and then ended in abject disappointment. Vic Law was brought to Northwestern to help end that vicious cycle.
