After 45 years of experience, it's nearly impossible to be positive about NU 
basketball.  They're going to have to prove it on the court.  BC gets one 
more "next year."  If he fails, he gets replaced with the Wizard of Id.

whims of the NCAA
selection committee may come into play.

Win the conference or the tournament, and whims will have nothing to do with 
it.

<But I actually agree in principle, Dennis.

See?  That didn't hurt too much.  The smartest people I know agree with me.
