All hail the ugly jumpshot

seriously, look at that thing. if it wasn't for the defender, you'd assume he was catching the ball, not shooting it. but it works for Shurna, and his four threes in the first three minutes of the second half pushed NU's lead from 6 to 14 and they never really looked back. Holston was held to 22, and the most remarkable thing about Chicago State's effort is not that only three players scored; it is that only three players TRIED to score. Holston, Cantrell and Montgomery combined to take 44 of the Cougars' 51 shots.

next up is a trip to Iowa City against a struggling Hawkeyes squad.
