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

Mon Jan 16 05:50:22 CST 2012

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

Well, NU LOST in Ann Arbor last week so it will have to be the team that shows up in Evanston against UM ;-)

Seriously, this doesn't look like a vintage Wisky team, narrowly beat Nebraska yesterday in Mad town, so NU could steal a W this Wednesday. Winning in Iowa City will be tough though, so I'd pencil in a L there. I think PSU in State Penn is a toss-up and could be another L given the hex the Lions seem to hold over the Cats from the DeChellis years.

They might get a couple games into the Big 10 tourney also, but as I said, the 
eam that
layed 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 
chedule for a
0 win season.  As others have pointed out this includes more road wins that 
e've had in
ecent memory.  I do have us losing at home against UM.  At this point that 
ooks more
ike a win, so perhaps we can sustain one more road loss (you pick) and still 
et 20 wins
y beating UM in Evanston.  That should be enough to get our invite to the 
ance.

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

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 
id-winter
nd Davide Curletti is the answer. Maybe.

 Without follow-up this win is simply one of those occasional but false 
 beacons
f hope that flare up from McGaw Hall every now and then that tease us with 
heir sparks
ut die out meaninglessly in cold, gloomy ashes.
