Heading into the 2015-16 college basketball season, there was a lot of excitement surrounding Northwestern basketball. There were quite a few reasons for this, but one of the bigger ones was a lanky incoming 4-star, ESPN Top 100 freshman from Newton, Massachusetts: Aaron Falzon. Falzon was one of highest rated recruits of Head Coach Chris Collins' tenure at Northwestern and was touted as an absolute sharpshooter. Collins was doing his fair share to feed the hype as well, declaring Falzon "one of the more dangerous (players) from the 3-point range in our league even as a freshman."
Then the season started, and for one brief moment it seemed as if Falzon had even been underrated.
