Stymied by Illinois West produced five points (2-6 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 0-2 FT), one rebound and one assist over 26 minutes during Wednesday's 84-44 loss to Illinois.

Impact West was held in check by the Illini, but the same could be said for every Wildcat who hit the court Wednesday night in an embarrassing 40-point loss. He's been a starter for the past seven games, but it hasn't been that fruitful of a stretch for the freshman, as he's averaging just 5.0 points, 1.3 rebounds and 4.3 assists in that span while shooting 36 percent from the floor. West has struggled to make a big impact this season, and there's no reason why that should change down the stretch.

Solid outing off the bench West accumulated nine points (3-8 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 0-1 FT), two rebounds, four assists and two blocks across 31 minutes during Sunday's 77-75 OT loss to Rutgers.

Impact West had a career game in the narrow loss to Rutgers. He led the charge off the Wildcats' bench with 31 minutes, and logged nine points, both of which are career highs. The freshman guard hasn't been all that involved with the Wildcats this season, but this performance could be a catalyst for more minutes.

Available vs. Mercyhurst West (concussion) is available for Monday's game against Mercyhurst, according to Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports.

Impact Just over half a week is enough for Northwestern to clear West and have him available for the 2025-26 Wildcats' season opener. In a team lacking proven commodities, it allows an unproven freshman like him to step up. Perhaps he can do so against Mercyhurst.

Unavailable because of concussion West is out for Wednesday's exhibition game against Illinois State because of a concussion, according to Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports.

Impact A concussion explains why West is out for Northwestern's exhibition game. In terms of preseason games, there are no opportunities for him to acclimate before the 2025-26 Wildcats begin their regular season Monday against Mercyhurst, a matchup in which he may be available.
