Special day in Evanston. Looking forward to watching my NU classmate, friend & broadcast partner @Billy4MayorZion get his number retired at halftime between @NUMensBball & #Iowa. Nobody more deserving to be the first in @NU_Sports history!

From our players and coaching staff, there isn't anybody more deserving to be the first player in school history to have their jersey retired than Billy McKinney.
