[NU Sports] Worst basketball seasons ever?

Tue Feb 19 16:11:51 CST 2008

No, the ND game was also at the Horizon.  I was there, embarrassed (and also 
amused) when my younger brother loudly yelled from the balcony's front row, 
and told ND's coach, Digger Phelps what impossible anatomic act he could 
perform on himself. My brother is an Alabama alum, and has little love for 
the Evil Empire.
