Three keys for northwest vs Washington – inside the NU

Grind.

The northwest has a sand. This showed the victory against USC. The loss of Brooks Barnchizer for the season was a big blow to this team. This was multiplied by Jalen Leach, descending into the game of USC. But “Cats still found a way to win. Somehow. There is still a glimpse of hope for tournament aspirations, but it is better to look at things at a time. This did the NC State last season and look where it ended.

Now on a trip to the west coast, the Northwest strives to shock the world with its back up to the wall. Washington is capable of losing at home and NU is heading for the next ones.

Here are three keys for Wildcats as they take the Huskita:

Why not us?

College basketball is unpredictable. The team can be unbeaten throughout the year, just to lose in the first match of their conference tournament. Every game matters, especially later during the season. So why not us? This must be what Chris Collins breaks into the minds of his players. Nick Martinelli is probably the best player of the team, even when everyone has been healthy this season, so he will still get it. Now it’s about the others in the team. Tai Berry had a season up and down, but that doesn’t mean the rest will be reduced. Why not us? Justin Mulins was DNP several times this season, but it was a huge part of the victory against USC. Why not us? Just like “we believe” the warriors, the Northwestern can turn into wild cats “we believe”.

Justin Mulins

Justin Mulins had the least strange season. It started in the season like Hustle’s man, was surrounded in the middle of the season and now jumped back in big minutes. This was emphasized by Mulins, who filmed an unprecedented 4-from-5 of three against USC. Before this match, he only shot 20% beyond the rainbow in the season. The last two years have shown “cat fans about what it is about a breakthrough in the middle of the season. First it was Barnhizer two years ago, last year was Martinelli and Mulins may be the man to raise his game this season. As Leach is already injured, Mulins will probably see a big minute jump, it would be huge for the northwest if he could continue the momentum he had from USC on the West trip. Martinelli will draw the double very much without leakage on the floor, so it depends on the “others” to make plays when Martinelli is charged.

Kian Fitzmoris

Although it is his first year with the northwest, Keyan Fitzmoris embodies the role of man with an override. Even a small game (not necessarily from him) makes him pump his teammates and the crowd. With Barnhizer made for the season, and Leach is already injured, this team needs energy. Not to mention FitzMoris has been playing much better lately. His rebound is not yet where he could or should be, but it seems that the hook is fired beyond the right block to science. With clear struggles for the northwest of insult after leaching, perhaps the Wildcat version of KaEem Abdul-Jabbar is something that this crime can benefit from.
