Niagara Nation

Rick Mount was the first high school player to be on the cover of Sports Illustrated .

Like most games that season , it was the freshman game that generated the most interest . Two of the three best freshmen in the nation going head to head , a stark reminder of the dramatic decline of NU basketball over the years . Of course Pistol Pete Maravich was regarded as the best freshman . I ...

With Noah as the main ball handler he has to hit those free throws , if not he'll be a liability late in the game when NU has the lead . As many close games that NU seems to play , they don't have the luxury of missing free throws . Glad that they were able to get back in the win column , hopefully ...

Even when NU was winning , it seemed as though they were always being out shot every game . It's only a matter of time before that comes back to haunt you . Hopefully the defense steps up in game 2 and we come away with a split .

It just seems every time it looks like the program has turned the corner , they always stumble mighti...

I didn't expect this tonight , very disappointing .
