That the lack of an exhibition game a negative affect on us?
Doubtful. NU came out on fire and led by 13 at the half. Any effect of not having an exhibition game should have been apparent early.

I thought we had a couple double-secret exhibition games.

Yes against likely NCAA teams, Loyola Chicago and Marquette. Reportedly did well in both. Of course, one year in the NCAA and everyone on this board expects team to win every game by 40. How 'bout the flip side that every team coming in is playing their *** off to knock off a ranked opponent.
