Luke Hunger - Available again Hunger (foot) logged two points (0-3 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 2-4 FT) and one rebound across his 10 minutes during Northwestern's exhibition game Wednesday against McKendree.

Impact Hunger will compete against seniors Matt Nicholson and Blake Preston for center minutes. The sophomore logged 36 of them during Northwestern's 2022-23 season. However, Nicholson recorded 25 games started during it. Preston transferred from Liberty after being the team's primary center. Unfortunately for Hunger, chances are high he has to be a tertiary option during his sophomore season.

Boo Buie - Near double-double in exhibition Buie (hand) logged 10 points (3-9 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 2-3 FT), nine assists and one rebound across his 29 minutes during Northwestern's exhibition game Wednesday against McKendree.

Impact Buie was expected to be available soon, so his inclusion during Northwestern's latest game is unsurprising. The redshirt senior was only an assist short of a double-double. Despite not having logged one across his undergraduate career, Buie has improved every season to the point that he might finally achieve said feat. Buie averaged 17.3 points and 4.5 assists across his 34 games started Northwestern's 2022-23 season.
