What’s Wrong With Northwestern Basketball? With Sports Illustrated’s Kevin Sweeney
from Bleav in Northwestern · host Bleav Podcast Network
Amid a hectic football offseason, Zach traveled to Rutgers to watch Northwestern basketball try to dig its way out of an early Big Ten hole—and what he saw gave him very little hope of a quick fix. He breaks down the game from Nick Martinelli’s one-man show, to frustrating guard play to KJ Windham’s status and more. Then, Sports Illustrated’s Kevin Sweeney joins the show to have it out about what happened to this Northwestern team. From missed evaluations in the transfer portal, a lack of effort and defensive buy-in, along with a coaching staff that seems to be at a loss for answers, the pair tries to figure out what can be done—or if this year is already a wash for the Wildcats.
