[NU Sports] Fwd: overtime

[marks83588 at aol.com]

Dennis, sometimes I think you're just a bitter old alum. No one is happy that the Cats lost yesterday, but to not take pride in how hard they played against the best team in the nation is to have lost all perspective IMHO. The better team won but the NU kids played perhaps the game of their lives. Shura looked like the Shurna of old, Juice got hot as the game went on, Crawford was a beast on theh boards, and NU looked like a real, physical Big 10 team for the first time I can recall. Yes, there were some typical melt-downs (Luka!!?!?!) but these aren't a bunch of 4* and 5* kids who expect to win, the margin for error for NU was miniscule. Particularly with Cobb and Capocci out. 

I for one am happy with what I saw, and have moved from the "BC must go" camp to the "keep BC but upgrade the facilities if you're serious about winning in the Big 10" camp (assuming there IS such a camp!).

Yes, the Cats played their guts out, but let there be no pride for losing 
nother winnable game.  Drew Crawford missed shot after makeable shot that 
ould have given us a decisive win.  Again at crunch time we lacked the 
tuff to win.  When oh when will it be our turn?
