Cats lose again

In addition to staying updated on the feverish excitement over the General on his march to Evanston, this should serve as an excellent forum to keep our loyal readers abreast of everything else: from NU basketball to funny TV commercials.  And a round of virtual applause for the incredible work Seth has done to get this site up so quickly. 

Saturday the Cats completed the Big Ten schedule with 2 thrilling victories, after another loss to Purdue.  Carl Landry, one half of the insufferable Landry brothers had a double-double.  Somehow, someway, the Cats didn't even score the lowest seed in the upcoming Big Ten tournament.  That honor belongs to one of the slayed NU opponents, the indomitable Penn State Crispin Lions. 

Timmy Doyle finished with a typical Timmy Doyle line: eight points, five assists and five rebounds.  This would be great if he were our third or fourth best player.  But he is our best, and we've been leaning on Timmy "Best Hair B10" for too long.  BH B10, spent three years here after a transfer from St. Johns, twirling and whirling and playing junk ball.  You have to commend the guy for his outstanding effort, but even he knows he's just playing hoops till he gets the fancy consulting job in June.  BH B10, if you need an assistant, let me know. 

The next and most likely last time we'll see this version of the Cats is Thursday against the MSU Spartans.  It should be a relatively uneventful end to the Cats season.  By the way, there are odd rumors eminating from Evanston, that the fabled Candlelight Bar is now the bar of choice for the kewl crowd at NU.  Apparently the Deuce has gotten too hot, and the overflow crowd has gone down Western Ave. to the Candlelight.  Can we get any confirmation on this?  I'm sure Coach Knight would like to know where to go to celebrate when we clinch the '08 Big Ten Title.
