Northwestern Wildcats Analysis

Northwestern Wildcats recently upset the number one ranked Purdue Boilermakers, led by Boo Buie's 31 points and 9 assists. Northwestern has a power ranking of 48 and ranks 39th in offense, 76th in defense, and 350th in pace of play. Buie is the leading scorer with 20.3 PPG and was named First Team All-Big Ten last season. Brooks Barnhizer is an 6'6 wing adding 14.3 PPG and 7.9 RPG. Ryan Langborg and Ty Berry round out the scoring with 12.1 PPG and 11.1 PPG respectively. The Wildcats have a 6-1 record (3-3-1 ATS) overall.

Detroit Mercy Ready to Take Northwestern By Surprise Despite Unranked Status

Northwestern is a formidable team, however, they remain unranked and have not exceeded a 13.5-point spread. While they were favored by 23.5 points against Western Michigan, they only won by four. They were also favored by 17.5 against Binghamton where they won by 11. Despite this, Detroit Mercy is a tenacious team ready to take risks and keep the game close. Jayden Stone's 21.3 PPG average and recent miss of 20 shots indicate that he is due for a big game. It may be unlikely that Detroit Mercy will claim their first win, but it is highly likely that they will succeed in covering the spread.
