[NU Sports] Wildcats 70, Stanford 62

[SjT (Stephen J. Truog)]

First chance I've had this year to watch most of an NU game -- LOVED the defensive intensity (steals) and rebounds, and ball movement. Cringed at the free throw shooting, but at least we were getting the other team into foul trouble.

But most of all, it was really fun to watch our kids play as a team -- not sure how they'll fare in a rugged Big Ten this year, but I like our quiet confidence and heart to not get flustered when it got close at the end. And it was great seeing Fitz and his boys there.

GO CATS!!!

PS - We should be playing Stanford in every sport! It's turning into a nice rivalry on the court and it would be a great series in football as well. We're natural intersectional rivals. Let the Domers and Spoiled Children have their annual battle -- I'd love seeing Harbaugh vs. Fitz every year on the field, basketball battles and more!
