Chicago Hawk

[pj]

Family, we play Northwestern on Sunday. I know that it is in Evanston, Ill, but to me it's Chicago. I still remember this brother in Scott hall with this BIG winter coat, for our little winter. I soon found out that winter meant two different things to him & me. It was no joke to him. Lou Rawls said that the Chicago hawk would expose every little flaw you had on. It is Cold!

We just signed a player Ray Lester, from Crete, Ill, ( to me thats Greater Chicago also) so maybe we are trying to dig in and set up shop for some ballers.

Where are we?
We lost to Lamar at the end ( if I remember correctly), and we won against NSU by coming back on them & then sprinting past them in overtime. ( the OT was really not that close). J. Porter raised some eyebrows and gave us some solid moves. But to answer my question... I dont know. I do know that we have cut down on our turnovers and are getting to know one another's moves. What your take?

Northwestern ( Big-10 Conf. ) beat N.C. State in Raleigh, 65-53,( some video sports.espn.go.com/ncb/clubhouse?teamId=77) and beat Tennessee State 69-62. This is a tough game.

We are not really playing bad ball. NW freshman 24 points in first half 6 of 8 - 3 pointers. Our trap def allow opponents alot open looks. Trap is really not generating turn-overs nor disrupting NW off.

On a side not chap cost to watch this one $2.99 on Bigten network .com

Good question about Joshua....I have a feeling he is struggling with academics..hope I am wrong?

[Aggie9195]

I heard he has a pulled hamstring. He should be back in time for the trip to Miami.

Thanks ya'll about D Joshua.

I only saw the 2nd half. We could have used D Joshua., not for his 3's, but for his old fashion 'and 1's. We just seemed rushed to me. We had more points in the paint then them, I believe, but it did not seem like it. Also NW seemed to savor the idea of an up & down game. They were busting loose at putting up '3's. And had a great %. This was a flat night for us & a hot night for them.

Another thing. T Alston & M Hill can take their man anytime they want. And especially during the switch/pic by the defense. They just need to utilize the floater or jump stop more. I think that we will be tough in the league.
