Georgia Tech (4-2) at Northwestern (4-0)

When: 6 p.m. at Welsh-Ryan Arena Tuesday

TV: ESPN2; Radio: WYLL 1160-AM

Skinny: The Wildcats face their biggest nonconference test as they continue to find additional people to join The Big Three. Big Ten scoring leader John Shurna (22.8 ppg), Drew Crawford (16.5 ppg) and Juice Thompson (15.3 ppg) have scored 70 percent of NU's points and taken 67 percent of its shots. Freshman guard JerShon Cobb might be extra-motivated Tuesday night, seeing as how he hails from suburban Atlanta and lots of his supporters hoped he would attend Georgia Tech. The Techsters have a Big Three of their own led by Oak Park HS alum Iman Shumpert (14.2 ppg, 4.2 apg). Sophomores Brian Oliver (15.8 ppg) and Glen Rice, Jr. (10.3 ppg) are the best shooters on a team hitting just 39 percent from the field this year.
