Senior guard Boo Buie has become the main scoring option in the backcourt for Northwestern, mainly thanks to his agility up front.

Buie leads the squad in both points (17.3) and assists (4.5), with the latest match recording 22 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists.
 
Right beside Buie, senior guard Chase Audige is the Wildcats’ reliable playmaker. Audige has the vision and passing to break down the defense and create space for the squad. The New York native records 14 points, 3.5 rebounds and 2.8 assists per match, with the recent win giving him 20 points, 6 rebounds and 4 steals. 
 
As for UCLA, senior guard Jaime Jaquez Jr. is a very versatile offensive option. Jaquez Jr. has a big frame and uses it to play physically in the post. He is leading the team in both points (17.3) and rebounds (8.1) thanks to his physicality. During the regular season he recorded a ridiculous  9 double-doubles, while in his last match Jaquez Jr. grabbed 18 points and 10 rebounds.

Jaquez Jr. ‘s casting support is led by senior guard Tyger Campbell who brings the much necessary speed to clear space for the big man to enter the paint. Campbell has a solid jumper while coming off the dribble, becoming a big diversion in mid range.
 
This matchup showcases polar opposite playstyles, however this time around we believe UCLA has an advantage as Northwestern does not have big men that could control Jaquez Jr.
