Collins’ Classroom: 15 thoughts for season 15

Welcome back to the third (and final) season of Collins’ Classroom, at least as written by me, since I’ll be graduating in the spring. If you’re new to this column, this space has been a weekly film review for Northwestern men’s basketball for the past two years. We’ve had some fun times and some not-so-fun moments over the past pair of seasons, breaking down the best and worst of ‘Cats hoops and Chris Collins’ spirited reactions.

This year, things will look a bit different. I have decided to move away from a pure film review column and open it up a bit. There will still be film, to be sure. I love breaking down defensive rotations and funky offensive sets, but a good film review takes time I don’t always have. Some weeks, this will be a stats-focused column, diving into some numbers that aren’t easily accessible or understandable. Some weeks, this column will just be my pure, unfiltered musings on NU basketball. Mostly, it will be some combination of the three. I also can’t promise a column every single week. It’s the unfortunate reality of being a senior, having a job and putting an emphasis on my broadcasting (shameless plug to tune into WNUR Sports, Northwestern’s student radio station, for live game calls and weekly podcasts). But as often as possible, my goal is to contribute a thoughtful, well-written piece on the team we all love, for better or worse.

If you’ve read my column before, thanks for sticking with me for another year. I promise to keep it as fun as possible with fresh insight, no matter what form it appears in. If you’re new here, welcome, and I hope you stick around. You can find my past work on Inside NU by searching for ‘Collins’ Classroom’ or my name (Eliav Brooks-Rubin).

After that extended intro, let’s just jump in. Consider this my preseason primer, with 15 thoughts, predictions and reactions as we head into the 15th season with Coach Collins at the helm.

There’s no point in sugarcoating. Northwestern basketball…
