[NU Sports] deluisional hoops thinking

[Scott Zeller]

I was at the game and there were a lot of positives, not the least of which
was coming back from a 13-point halftime deficit to be down by only 1 with
less than a minute in the game. Pretty impressive feat on the road. Stanford
was shooting lights-out for most of the game but the Cats kept in it.

Rowley looks raw but also seems to be the real deal. He is going to be fun
to watch. Coble is one hell of a player and he will be with us for another
year after this.

Thanks for all the gloom and doom, everyone, after this team lost for just
the second time this year, to a quality opponent on the road no less. I have
said it several times already on this list, but watch out for these guys.
This is the best team I have seen at NU since the Jim Stack days. They may
not conquer the world this season, but I am guessing at least an overall
winning record, and they will only get better and better each game and keep
improving into next year!
