'Cats look to build on momentum

NU returns to the court this afternoon to take on a 4-1 DePaul team.  the Blue Demons are very young this year, and they should be tired.  coming off their first loss of the season @ Cal on Wednesday night, the team got back into Chicago late Thursday and didn't practice until after the women's game last night.

i expect finally we'll get over the 50% capacity mark today in attendance; let's just hope that more fans are in purple than in blue.  ESPN generally does a good job of finding ways to hide empty seats during their telecasts, but this shot of Welsh-Ryan on Wednesday snuck in there.  the second level is looking pretty lonely...
