[QUOTE="Deleted member 29907, post: 1529447"] Never had a feeling we would lose that game. I simply think that NU outplayed themselves down in Champaign. Scrappy team - they will miss Spencer next year (at least against us where we, for some reason, don't seem to take him as a serious player). I am not seeing as much hope as some on this board for NU next year - they seem a bit one dimensional and simply not strong down low (Young is dangerous in that he can harm other players with his wild flailing arms and goofy play). Buie will get better of course, but other than Nance, the rest are kind of spot up shooter types. Once we figured out their zone, we pretty much got a ton of good looks and better shooting teams (which we will be next year) will pick that apart much like AG did yesterday. I guess that "There's always next year" theme has stuck in Chicago, but other than the rivalry aspect of our games - they don't really scare me. Of course, time will tell. [/QUOTE]
