Agreed, Dennis. I find the Cats hoopsters on the tube exactly one time this
winter and watch a pitiful display. I thought, maybe, there was hope when
the Cats went on a 9-0 run (if I recall right) and closed the gap to 5
points before halftime. But then the pathetic play returned. My God, it's
rare, if ever, that I turn the TV off when watching NU football because
there always seems to be hope and some amount of matched talent. But,
basketball, forget it.

Another woeful basketball game for the Cats and this one on national TV in
glorious high definition.  "We're not shooting the ball very well and we
can't seem to get any rebounds," Coach Carmody said after the game.  Not
shooting well?  They threw up enough bricks to build Donald Trump's next
mansion.  And Coach, you've never had a team that could rebound because
you've never recruited a team that was big, strong, fast, and athletic at a
Big 10 level.  You know, like Illinois' players, and they are just a
mid-level team who needed to wipe their feet on the league doormat to top
.500.  Will I live long enough to see talented basketball players playing
for the home team in Evanston?
