"Very fortunate."

Cats played thoroughly ineffectual defense, allowing PSU to repeatedly score inside with ease.  

Without Marcotullio hitting four treys and the whole team having a hot night from distance...

And the Cats getting two FT misses by PSU with :14 left and a questionable foul call on a Shurna miss against a double team with :2+ left, NU would've lost the game and seen its season disintegrate (and after the telecast kept trumpeting NU's great NCAA tourney qualifications :)).

Carmody gets his first win ever @ PSU.  Cats win a close one on the road.

Two more regular season games and conference tourney left.  

Again, "very fortunate."

Brutal start for Cats - poor shooting, turnovers, slow to the ball off boards and on defense.  But NU turned it around, in large part due to Sobolewski's aggressiveness on offense...and it was encouraging to see six of the seven guys get into scoring column, concluding with Cobb hitting a biggie.  If he can shake the rust off and find his shot and rhythm on offense, the Cats will improve a lot.  Nice turnaround to go from down eight to up six (and there were opportunities to lead by more).  Sobo/Shurna/Crawford lead way and a strong second half will be needed to put away PSU, which is definitely capable of better play.
