Northwestern Women's Basketball Season Preview

Northwestern Women's Basketball is coming off one of its most successful years ever. What will the team look like in the 2015-16 season?

The 2014-15 season was the most successful campaign of coach Joe McKeown's tenure at Northwestern. After going 23-9 and making the NCAA Tournament for the first time in 18 years, Northwestern looks like a team on the rise. The team will return four starters and seven letterwinners from last year's squad. This continuity and last year's performance explain the team's preseason buzz, as they are ranked 19th in the AP Preseason Top 25 and 12th by Athlon Sports Magazine.
