Northwestern fans should be tuning into the WNBA Draft tonight, as star forward Nia Coffey is projected to go in the first round. It will be a historic day for Northwestern women’s basketball, as Northwestern has never had a player taken in the WNBA Draft. Today, Northwestern could have two.
The draft will start on ESPN2 at 6 p.m. CST and the second and third rounds will be moved to ESPNU.
The surefire pick is obviously Coffey, who averaged 17.9 points, 9.2 rebounds and 1.7 per during her four years at Northwestern and has drawn the praise of many prognosticators.
