Aaron Falzon’s sophomore season got its legs ripped out from under it before it really ever began. A knee injury forced Falzon to undergo season-ending surgery after playing in just three games. Northwestern was able to have a historic season without the Newton, Massachusetts native, but he’ll certainly be a welcome addition to the rotation — and quite possibly the starting lineup — next season, with Sanjay Lumpkin and Nathan Taphorn graduating.
Playing as a starter wouldn’t be new for Falzon, though. He started 29 out of 32 games in his true freshman season in 2015-2016 and averaged nearly 25 minutes and 8.
