With a lot of uncertainty hovering over the oncoming season, the Wildcats began their 2022-23 season with a dominant win.
Northwestern opened the year’s play with an expected, yet welcome 85-54 win against Chicago State at Welsh-Ryan Arena. Coming off an offseason in which the team’s leading contributors from 2021 either transferred or graduated, a strong performance, even against an unimpressive Cougars team, was certainly a confidence-booster for Chris Collins and his squad.
The ‘Cats were led by Robbie Beran, who dropped 20 points, seven rebounds and a pair of assists in 32 minutes of action. Boo Buie, Chase Audige and Ty Berry also broke the double-digit threshold for points.
