Officially a game-time call Barnhizer (foot) is officially a game-time decision for Northwestern's clash with Montana State.

'Hopeful' to play Tuesday night Barnhizer (foot) remains a game-time call for the Wildcats, but head coach Chris Collins is "hopeful" that the star guard will play, Henry Frieman of The Daily Northwestern reports...
Impact Barnhizer hasn't played this season, but it appears as if the guard is as close as he's been in the 2024-2025 to taking the court. There should be more clarity on his availability when the Big Ten injury report drops for Northwestern about 2.5 hours ahead of tip off.

Listed as questionable Barnhizer (foot) is listed as questionable for Northwestern's clash with Eastern Illinois, Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports reports.
Impact Barnhizer has missed the team's first three games. He's been listed as questionable before, and has also participated in warm-ups before ultimately sitting out, so this ultimately means very little for the wing's status.

Out vs. UIC Barnhizer (foot) is out against UIC on Tuesday night, Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports reports.
Impact Barnhizer was listed as questionable, and then spotted going through warm-ups, but won't be available for the Wildcats. His next chance to play will come on Nov. 15 against Eastern Illinois.
NOVEMBER 12 • ROTOWIRE
Going through warmups Barnhizer (foot) was spotted going through warmups ahead of Northwestern's clash with UIC, SB Nation reports.
Impact Barnhizer was deemed questionable on the injury report, but it appears as if he'll try to give it a go. The 6-foot-6 wing, who hasn't played yet this season, will be a massive boost for the Wildcats whenever he returns.
NOVEMBER 12 • ROTOWIRE
Listed as questionable Barnhizer (foot) is listed as questionable for Northwestern's matchup with UIC, SB Nation reports.
Impact Barnhizer has yet to play this season. The 6-foot-6 wing is an integral part of what the Wildcats do, particularly from a scoring standpoint and on the glass. Northwestern likely won't need him in another buy game, but his presence will be a massive boost in Evanston when he does return.
NOVEMBER 12 • ROTOWIRE
Out against Dayton Barnhizer (foot) will not appear in Saturday's game against the Flyers, Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports reports.
Impact Barnhizer will be unable to suit up with the Wildcats as they take on Dayton this weekend. The 6-foot-6 senior, who started in all 34 games with the Wildcats last season, will have his next opportunity to return to action against UIC on Tuesday.
NOVEMBER 9 • ROTOWIRE
Warming up pregame Barnhizer (foot) was seen warming up during Northwestern's pregame shootaround, Matthew Shelton of the Wildcat Reportreports.
Impact Barnhizer looks to have a chance to make his season debut with the Wildcats after he was held out in Northwestern's opener with a foot injury. The 6-foot-6 senior remains questionable, but it is a good sign for Barnhizer's availability.
NOVEMBER 9 • ROTOWIRE
Questionable Saturday Barnhizer (foot) has been listed as questionable ahead of Saturday's game against Dayton.
Impact Barnhizer, who sat out for the Wildcats' opener with a foot injury, remains questionable to suit up Saturday. The 6-foot-6 senior started in all 34 games with the Wildcats last season and figures to be a top option for the team when available.
NOVEMBER 9 • ROTOWIRE
Out for Wildcats' opener Barnhizer (foot) is out for Northwestern's opener against Lehigh, SB Nation reports.
Impact Barnhzer is expected to be a huge piece for the Wildcats this season after his remarkable 2023-2024 campaign, in which he averaged 14.6 points, 7.5 rebounds, 2.6 assists and 1.8 steals. He'll miss the opener, and potentially longer, however, with a foot injury that's still nagging the wing.
NOVEMBER 4 • ROTOWIRE
Out for exhibition game Barnhizer (foot) is out for Northwestern's exhibition game Wednesday against Lewis, according to Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports.
Impact Even though a previous Rothstein post assured Barnhizer would be available for the beginning of Northwestern's 2024-25 season, his latest news puts at least a slight damper on that possibility. The senior is doing non-contact work with less than one week before NU's regular-season campaign begins with a Nov. 4 game against Lehigh.
OCTOBER 29 • ROTOWIRE
Will be ready by start of season Barnhizer (foot) will be ready by the beginning of Northwestern's 2024-25 season, according to Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports.
Impact While not cleared just yet, Barnhizer will be in just over a month, when Northwestern's 2024-25 team begins its regular season Nov. 4 against Lehigh. The senior guard broke out during their 2023-24 campaign with averages of 14.6 points, 7.5 rebounds, 2.6 assists, 1.8 steals and 1.2 three-pointers made across his 34 games started, all career bests. Unlike last season, when it was relatively unclear how much of an impact Barnhizer would have, he is the Wildcats' most proving option going into their upcoming campaign.

Impact Northwestern's basketball players and staff took a team picture to commemorate their last day at Venice. Barnhizer was pictured wearing a protective boot around his right foot, which indicates that the senior is traveling around Italy and explains why he cannot play any games.
AUGUST 23 • ROTOWIRE
Won't feature in Foreign Tour Barnhizer (undisclosed) won't travel with Northwestern for their preseason Foreign Tour as a precautionary measure.
Impact It's unclear what kind of injury Barnhizer is dealing with, but the team is taking the safe approach in this one. He's expected to play a prominent role for Northwestern on offense, but the Wildcats will not risk him during the Foreign Tour through Italy and Greece. Barnhizer should be a regular source of scoring for Northwestern once the season starts after averaging 14.6 points and 7.5 rebounds across 34 starts in his breakout 2023-24 campaign.
AUGUST 19 • ROTOWIRE
Will withdraw from draft Barnhizer will withdraw from the 2024 NBA Draft, according to Jeff Goodman of Stadium.
Impact Barnhizer withdrawing from the 2024 NBA Draft indicates he will enroll at Northwestern again, considering he never entered the NCAA's transfer portal before it closed. The junior forward broke out during his 2023-24 season, one in which he averaged 14.6 points and 7.5 rebounds across 34 starts. With that campaign completed and officially under his belt, expectations will be sky-high out of Barnhizer, especially now that the Wildcats no longer have Boo Buie as their lead guy.
