[NU Sports] I waited a day to be a downer...

Don't feel too confident about the game in Bloomington.  Hoosiers are having a very good year.

If the team that played yesterday shows up in Champaign and Ann Arbor, those two should be
wins.

They might get a couple games into the Big 10 tourney also, but as I said, the team that
played yesterday afternoon has to return to action the rest of the season.

With the wonderful win at home over MSU, we are currently 12-5 and back on schedule for a
20 win season.  As others have pointed out this includes more road wins that we've had in
recent memory.  I do have us losing at home against UM.  At this point that looks more
like a win, so perhaps we can sustain one more road loss (you pick) and still get 20 wins
by beating UM in Evanston.  That should be enough to get our invite to the dance.

As far as yesterday's game is concerned, IMHO it was all about the effective play of
Curletti.  As bad as Luka played against Michigan, that's how good Curletti was against
MSU.  Barring injury I don't think that we're going to see much of Luka for a while.  It
was also great to the whole team finish.  Look forward to seeing this dangerous team take
this new found aggressiveness on the road.

All,

We are currently 12-5 (2-3).  Is there any drop-dead number of losses that we must avoid
to have any hope ?  Football is so much easier - just get to 6 wins any way that you
can...

Thanks,

It's precisely the reverse -- 27 -- in Philadelphia. Maybe that explains the difference in
our outlook... (smile)

Such poetry to enliven our basketball musings or, perhaps, travails.

I shall now return to Kafka. (Not Mike.)

Oh, wait. It's SoCal and 72 degrees in January. Hope springs eternal here in mid-winter
and Davide Curletti is the answer. Maybe.
