Well last week was a lot of fun – back-to-back wins has the Eagles above .500 again and with their first win in South Bend since January 11, 1997 (which, I should stress again, is the week I was born). But the one black mark was the announced loss of C Nik Popovic indefinitely due to back spasms. Popovic had been playing one of his worst stretches of basketball, scoring single digit times in three of the last four games. For comparison, that’s as many one-digit games he had in all of last year. To me it seems pretty likely that his play was affected by the injury.
