Northwestern Basketball 2006-2007 Preseason Review
Coach Bill Carmody will be back for his seventh year as
coach of the Northwestern Wildcats
The last three seasons the Wildcats finished one game under .500 ball,
making them ineligible for a postseason tourney.
Guard Tim Doyle, a senior out of St Dominic High School
in New York City, is being counted on to lead the NU squad
in team leadership and in scoring. Look for 6 ft 9 inch, forward
Kevin Coble and junior guard Jason Okrzesik to help both on
offense and defense.
Three players from Croatia are listed on this season’s roster:
Senior center Ivan Tolic, and two freshmen forwards, Nikola
Baran and Ivan Peljusic. Forward Jean Marc Melchior is a
sophomore from Luxembourg.
