[NU Sports] Basketball

[Dennis W. Brandt]

Another season of basketball has begun, and the results look exactly like years past.  We lost - badly.  We still can't rebound or break down a good defense.  We got Thompson and Nash and little else.  Rowley looks like a string bean compared to last season and is lighter on his feet, but he still can't play the game of basketball.  Mircovic is better but will strike no fear into opposing defenses.  Shurna will have good games at times but is erratic and stoppable even if he gets hot.  Crawford is raw but may turn out well in time, but he's a long way from that point now.  Only a miracle will make this our first NCAA season.
