The skinny: Northwestern aims for another disruptive defensive effort against Arkansas State, which has won the turnover battle in four of its six games. The Wildcats stuck with their 1-3-1 zone Saturday and forced 32 turnovers -- the most in coach Bill Carmody's tenure -- in a win against Savannah State. Carmody could stick with an all-guard lineup after getting little from his frontcourt players so far this season. Arkansas State boasts only one player taller than 6-feet-7 and has been outrebounded by an average of 5.3 boards per game. Senior guard Adrian Banks (21.7 ppg) leads the Indians, who face a Big Ten team for just the third time in team history.
