Norwestern brings a lot of experience starting 3 seniors and 2 juniors with Buie and Audige leading the way. They have true size with a 7 foot big but lacks size at the guard positions. Mulcahy will be licking his chops after owning NW last year and coming off a poor Iowa game
G - Buie - 6'2 180. Senior. 14/3/4 35% / 29% 3pt
Need to limit Buie's damage creating off the dribble. Can Rutgers abuse his size on the other end?
G - Berry - 6'3 185. Junior. 10/5/1 35%/30%
One of Berry and Buie needs to guard Paul. Neither has the size
G - Audige 6'4 200. Senior. 16/3/3 39%/36%
Caleb matchup. This should be a rough. game for Audige. Caleb has length and size. to lock him down and force bad shots
F - Beran 6'9 215. Senior. 9/6 36%/32%
Similar size matchup for Mag. This is a game where Mag can make his athleticism felt and take it to Beran attacking the rim and offensive glass
C - Nicholson 7' 255. Junior. 6/6/1 52%
True 5 with size to bang with Cliff. Clear athleticism advantage for Cliff. Hopefully he is healthy enough to take it to him and force some fouls
