Coble and Shurna carry team to 7-1 record

it was an off night for Craig Moore and the gym was pretty empty, but NU put together enough plays for a 15 point win against UMKC. a 13-2 run in the first half pushed things out to a comfortable lead, and when the Kangaroos cut it to 6 early in the second half, a 9-0 run put things away for good. NU got a combined 42 points from Shurna and Kevin Coble, who at one point went on a personal 13-0 run. (although i can't say i'm psyched that the other four guys decided to go scoreless for about 7 1/2 minutes.)

the Wildcats had 10 blocks, the most under Carmody, and, if you take out Moore 2/8 effort from 3PT, was 50% from deep. i don't like that Moore, Thompson and Coble got a combined 8 minutes of rest in this game. if you can't sit these guys at home in December vs. UMKC, how are they supposed to hold up in February against Michigan State and Purdue?
