Scouting: Chicago State @ Northwestern

When: 7 p.m. Wednesday at Welsh-Ryan Arena

Net: bigtennetwork.com Radio: WIND 560-AM

Skinny: There are 347 teams in Division I. Chicago State ranks 346th according to the RPI and 343rd per Ken Pomeroy, so this looks like an excellent chance for the Wildcats to set the single-season school record for wins. Show up 15 minutes before tipoff for Senior Night festivities, which won't be as expansive as planned because the injured Kevin Coble and Jeff Ryan will use their redshirts and return next season. Much-improved guard Jeremy Nash (9.2 ppg, 3.8 rpg, 1.6 spg, 34 3s) will hog the Senior Night spotlight, though walk-on Matt Steger and veteran manager Daniel Blumenthal also get their moments.
