According to a release from Northwestern, the program announced that it would not be accepting a postseason bid, which likely would have been for the CBI or CIT. The Wildcats finished the 2015-16 season at 20-12 overall after falling to Michigan by a 72-70 final score in overtime in the Big Ten Tournament. Highlights of the season included a sweep of Nebraska and a home win over Wisconsin. This means that Tre Demps and Alex Olah have concluded their careers at Northwestern.
