Forget the offense style.  Northwestern does not have very good basketball 
players.  Coble, our best player, is a sixth or seventh man on a good team, 
and Thompson would see little playing time as a freshman.  We have neither 
size nor quickness, we are not consistent shooters, we can't finish the 
occasional fast break, and we can't rebound a lick.  In short, we look like 
just about every Northwestern team I've watched for 43 years.  Maybe next 
season will be better, but I've been hearing that for 43 years, too.
