'Cats 2-0, now take to the road

again, this is what a team should do: win by 18 at home against an inferior opponent. Shurna looks to be the real deal. he had 17 & 9 plus 3 blocks. Moore made only one three (the record-breaker) but added six assists.

a few things concern me, though. Rowley had 4 fouls in 13 minutes and Mirokvic had 4 fouls in 10 minutes. the team only shot 5/21 from deep. and NU won the rebounding battle, but only by one. that doesn't bode well for when they face bigger and stronger frontcourts.

now the team hits the road for a game Saturday at Brown. the Bears won at Welsh-Ryan last year, and this team is coming off a berth in the College Basketball Invitational. Brown curiously decided to replace former NU assistant Craig Robinson by promoting assistant Jesse Agel, but they've been decent so far this year- picking up their first win last night @ Holy Cross after earlier losing a nail-biter @ Rhode Island, who almost won in Cameron Indoor Stadium on Sunday. the Bears have no one taller than 6' 9" and are led by junior forward Matt Mullery. Fire Bill Carmody will be in attendance at this one, so hopefully things will go better than the last time i watched NU hoops in person.
