Alex Olah could make his return to the court Saturday night.
The Northwestern seven-footer has been sidelined since before the start of Big Ten play, missing the last six games with a foot injury.
But head coach Chris Collins said that Olah will be a gametime decision for Northwestern's game against Penn State on Saturday night in Evanston.

While the Cats have lost just twice during Olah's absence, getting the senior big man back would be huge. He leads the team with a pair of blocks a game, ranks second with 6.5 rebounds a game and ranks third with 12.8 points per game.
Northwestern sits at 15-3 on the season and 3-2 in conference play — the team's best Big Ten start since the 1960s — after a win over Wisconsin earlier this week.
