[NU Sports] We own the ACC! :)

I wouldn't draw any conclusions so far as to the ability of the Cats to play in "hostile environments". Charleston was a neutral court, and last night's game in Atlanta was close to a neutral court as the place was almost empty.

Let's see how they respond at Creighton......will be a great test and an excellent warm-up for dOSU.

A couple of observa(ions from tonight's game;
1) 'Cats seem comfortable on the road, which ia a very encouraging sign.  My 
ear was that they woukd fall apart in hostile environments without Juice,  Not 
appenin'--so far.
2) Luka is playing much more aggressively at both ends.  Can he keep it up when 
e get to B1G time?
3) If Mirko seems more intense, Carmody is jist the opposite.  He appears to be 
ore relaxed, less stressed, more confident in the team he has built.  I noticed 
t watching Charleston Final,where he wore the NU athletic jacket, doffing the 
sual sport jacket.  I know ot sounds trivial--and probably is--but BC's affect 
ransmits to his 12 guys, and their is a palpable enthusiasm on the bench 
henever we make a good play--and there have been many to cheer about so far.
4) You win with D-Fense, and we are playing hard, and efficiently, blocking 
hots, playing the angles correctly in the passing lanes--and hitting the 
oards.  Can we sustain this as the season progresses, and we play stronger more 
killed opponents in conference?  
an't say yet, but at least we are on the right path.  For now, 6-0 feels real 
ood.

I think I ask this every year, but do we have the best record of Big Ten teams 
n the Challenge?
Either way, nice win on the road for the Cats ... dunno how the league will do 
Michigan choked, but the Illini picked up a road win with us), but it's good 
or Carmody's team to get the W.
Sure wish we could do this with the Pac 12 (or even SEC) in football. It would 
wn the talk in September if you spread it out over four weekends!
GO CATS!!!
