[NU Sports] Post-game thoughts?

[Alan Abrahamson]

We were in position to win.

Big picture-wise: We are finally good enough to win (most) any game we play.
That is, we can beat anyone. But, as Fitz said, we can't play two teams and
expect to win -- them and us.

We beat ourselves. Look at the stats (read Skip Myslenski's column at
nusports.com). We should have won the game. We didn't because, again, we
beat ourselves.

Here's hoping that we play up to Michigan State instead of down to Purdue
and Minnesota.

Go Wildcats!
