[NU Sports] As important a half as Cats have had

[Weinbaum, Willie]

Cats, led by Shurna, up 40-28.  Shurna found a way and nailed three 3s.  Cobb hit two 3s and Mirkovic was assertive.  Marcotulio's passing and defense and Thompson's all-around play, plus IU ineptitude spelled a vital bounce back from the debacle at Champaign.  All this with nothing from Crawford, who got two early fouls.

Crucial to keep it going in the 2d half of this must-win game to get the season back on track.
