[NU Sports] Northwestern-DePaul

[Roy S. Lamberton]

Not to toot my own horn but...

I suggested over on PR about a week ago that our play up to last week was very
tentative, primarily because the guys were waiting for Thompson, and all of the
bench guys were trying too hard because their minutes had to decrease once Mike
was eligible.

Once Thompson started playing, and showed what he was capable of on the court,
everyone else started to pick up their game also. I could almost hear the sigh
of relief after he sunk that first layup.

You could also hear BC hint that now that the team was complete for the year,
they could get down to working on things they need to do to improve.

You probably can't get in, but today would be the day to sit up in the top of WR
and watch practice to see what they work on - I bet its on an inside game with
Thompson [and T.J.] getting penetration, and everyone working the offensive
rebound.

Just a hunch.
