NU could surprise. Yes, I know the prior posters were trying to be funny.
We need to stay healthy
you started following NU BB 41 years ago? Wow. I just started when Shurna was a sophomore, immediately after I heard about Coble not wanting to go to Europe. I thank Shon Morris for getting me into NU BB and it's now my favorite sport at NU, and the one where I believe we have witnessed the most progress.For the first time I can remember, NU can withstand the loss of any 1 player. Mac goes down? Demps and Ash pick up the slack. Olah? JVZ and DP. The depth throughout the team is unmatched by any NU team since I started following NU basketball 41 years ago.
Yes, we have had lots of progress in basketball the past half dozen years or so, but then we had a LOT FARTHER TO GO in that sport. Hopefully, Chris Collins is the basketball version of Gary Barnett.you started following NU BB 41 years ago? Wow.

That is actually a very significant and exciting statement. The ramification are huge not just for the big injuries that end a season but the one game injuries where the team doesn't take a loss because a guy sits out and perhaps bigger still the injuries that will never happen because the guys are not injuring themselves by playing fatigued. A lot of injuries come when a guy is playing at the ragged edge.For the first time I can remember, NU can withstand the loss of any 1 player. Mac goes down? Demps and Ash pick up the slack. Olah?

Yes, I was a freshman in 1974. My first weekend on campus I went to the NU-ND football game, with 50,000+ other people (they used to have bleachers from McGaw set up behind the north end zone). That was my introduction to Wildcat football. Greg Boykin from Kent Roosevelt was the best player. He was a load.
What dorm were you in freshman year?
