2025–26 Basketball Preview and Predictions

Though there’s still plenty of action left on the gridiron, Zach turns his focus to the hardwood of Welsh-Ryan Arena with Northwestern men’s basketball set to get underway. He begins by giving an overview of the Wildcats going into what may seem like a transition year, yet is anything but (2:10). Then, Sports Illustrated college basketball reporter Kevin Sweeney joins the show to break down what we’ve seen from the program’s two exhibitions as well as some of the key additions for Chris Collins, like Jayden Reid, Arrinten Page and Tre Singleton (16:34). Finally, the pair discusses Northwestern’s place on the bubble and in the pecking order of the Big Ten. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
