The Wildcats have yet to establish a set group of five players to rely on in games.
In Northwestern's last five games—in which the Wildcats are 2-3—Bryant McIntosh and Tre Demps have played 376 of the possible 400 minutes. As the Wildcats have gone through their ups and down in the last two weeks or so, and the whole season for that matter, the two constants in terms of production and playing time have been McIntosh and Demps.
The inconsistencies that have plagued Northwestern all year, however, stem from the other three players that have shared the court with McIntosh and Demps.
