Northwestern has been pretty impressive through the first 13 games of its season, going 12-1 despite the absence of Vic Law, who had surgery to repair a torn labrum shortly before the season started, and more recently surviving without backup big man Joey Van Zegeren, one of two true centers on the team. The Wildcats face one more opponent, Loyola (Md.) before starting conference play against Nebraska on Dec. 30th.
The Greyhounds, out of the Patriot League, will make the trip to Evanston on the heels of an overtime loss to Fairfield.
