[NU Sports] More bad basketball

[Roy Lamberton]

RE: The below....

FWIW - the Princeton system is ideal for an academic institution that can
attract shooters who like the discipline that BC's system imposes. NU will
always have trouble attracting the undisciplined player who likes to play above
the rim, or be the stand out star. Our kind of player has always been the kid
who could play, but was ignored by the Dukes and Kansas's of the world.

When NU gets into a run and gun battle, we lose big, bigger than last night and
all it does is hurt our pride and confidence. We play our game, the NU variation
of Pete Carrill's offense with a matchup zone defense, and we can stay with
almost any team that relies on an inside game.

Last night we ran into an Illinois team that has been playing without several
key players and who finally got everyone back. The media may be pinging on
Weber, but he's getting the Illini into shape when it finally counts, the end of
the season. Saturday's game with Indiana will be important for them since it's
the first major team they've played since they got everyone back.

This Saturday's game will be important for the Cats - PSU is a team we should be
able to beat, they're banged up, and haven't been playing all that well lately,
altho they almost scared Wiscy last night. 

Once again, we have to play our game on our floor and defend the house.
