Given how bad a shooting day we had, this was a nice grinder to win. Tons of foul trouble - and we only lost Scottie.

Wasn't easy and it sure wasn't pretty, but sure looks better with a W next to it.

Sure does. Getting the W out of that game is a great thing. Good for a lot of guys who hung in despite poor shooting but especially Falzon for wanting those shots and drilling them in the OT.

Were you at the game, Smithee? I thought I saw you for a second in the background close to the floor?

I'll always take the W!

key was Falzon getting a couple clutch ones - he is a big part of NUs future - can't wait to see him paired in a couple years with a healthy Law... Any road win against a major conference team is good for resume building - even if game is cross town against a mediocre team. 3 OT wins - nice

Took my 8-month old dressed in her NU best. So glad to get a win. Why DePaul wasn't attacking the hell out of us with three starters with four fouls in the OT is beyond me. The fact that Olah didn't foul out is great ball by him and horrible coaching by DePaul.

Was harder to attack is when we switched to zone, That is one of the reasons we switched to zone.

A great win, played great team ball at crunch time. This team doesn't lose when it's REAL close. Outstanding win! Awesome!
