11. Northwestern (17-10, 5-9)

Oh Northwestern.  Many people had this year pegged as the one where it makes the tournament, but alas, it was not meant to be.  Starting sophomore Vic Law was out for the season before it even began, and senior center Alex Olah has struggled with injuries throughout conference play.

This team has talent, but right now it’s very young and they just don’t have enough offense to beat the top teams in the conference.  The Wildcats have a bloated overall record thanks to the 333rd overall strength of schedule in the non-conference season.

Next: Number 10
