[NU Sports] NU Basketball

[Kaplan, Neil]

I saw the game on ESPNU.  Other than being amused by Mike Adamle doing the
play by play the game was terrible.  I dont see our hoops team often so I
dont know who was missing, but we have one good player, zero team speed, and
have to play a perfect game from beyond the arc to stay in the game against
a mediocre team.  From a just seen them once perspective this looks like a
talent issue not an execution issue to me.

I understand that Shon Morris was on the refs during the WGN broadcast.

Too bad that we got so many fouls called in the first half - if I read your
comments properly, the refing effected the play of the game on both sides.
Too
bad, it could have been good.

It would have been even better if Comcast had carried ESPN-U but that's
another
rant. <g>
