[NU Sports] Northwestern-DePaul

[Michael Jackson]

DePaul inexplicably stopped feeding Greer at the end of the game.  They
went three or four possessions without getting him a touch.  Credit NU's
improved D with stopping their best scorer.  They also took away the
driving lanes for Mejia.  

NU's offense still needs work.  Doyle doesn't have a shot, Hachad lacks
confidence in his shot, TJ has the make-up to be the go-to-guy but lacks
the consistency, Vedran needs to be more selfish- he has the touch but
needs to get more aggressive when he has the ball, Michael shows
potential in spite of the rustiness- he needs to work on his rebounding,
he was out of position on a lot of rebounds, probably just needs game
time experience.

It was an ugly win but winning ugly is still an improvement over the
earlier games this year.

The turnaround happened when Carmody replaced Hachad
with the much-maligned Duvancic.  DePaul had been hitting a
lot of short jumpers by simply out-leaping the defenders. the
extra height in the lane seemed to take that away and they
couldn't adjust to setting up outside shots.

Also credit Doyle, who had been invisible for the whole game,
with a key steal and a key rebound (which he ripped out of the
hands of a much bigger guy) during the 11-0 run.
