Northwestern Wildcats finalize their roster for 2026-27 basketball season

Northwestern men’s basketball has completed its 2026-27 roster, featuring three returners, eight transfers, two freshmen, and a walk-on. The team, coached by Chris Collins, has undergone significant changes following nine players entering the transfer portal. As summer workouts begin in Evanston, the coaching staff aims to integrate the new players before the season starts in early November. Expectations for the Wildcats range from a potential middle-of-the-pack finish in the Big Ten and a chance at the NCAA Tournament, to the possibility of finishing last in the conference.
