Women’s Hoops Scouting Report: Kansas State Wildcats
By Danny Daly
After a disappointing 76-69 loss at Chicago State to begin the season last Friday, Northwestern will try to pick up its first win of the season in tonight’s home opener against Kansas State.
That will be no easy task, as Kansas State won the Big 12 Championship last season and advanced to the second round of the NCAA tournament. The team is coming off a 65-44 road victory over UTEP in its season opener and also stars three players that averaged double digits in points a year ago.
NU was fairly confident about its defense entering the season, but that unit did not perform up to expectations against Chicago State. Though the Cats forced 16 turnovers and held the Cougars to 40.6 percent shooting for the game, Chicago State pulled down 22 offensive rebounds and hit on 53.6 percent of its baskets in the second half to help open up a double-digit lead.
