If nine rando relatively in-shape BYers show up on a court for a pickup game with Ashworth in a disguise, Ashworth probably gets picked 5th or 6th at best. There is nothing about the guy that says, "I'm going to light you up." Looks like a tax preparer.

He's tiny, he looks like a horse jockey out there and then you see him flying around past everyone and constantly banging threes. Dude is such a good player and college basketball has never seen a ft shooter like him.

Butler was up 1 with 2 fouls to give when PC got the ball with around 7 seconds left. I am fine giving the first foul, but I would rather use it to play aggressive defense then just give it away to run a second off the clock. Thoughts?

We disagree there. Last thing I want at the college level is a stretch 5.

So you're not too happy with Reibe coming to UConn?

I’m counting on him being more than a 3pt drifter on offense. And we also have Tarris as the contrast.

So stretch 5s just stand out by the 3 point line and shoot threes? I don't think that's the typical definition of a stretch 5.

Will be Nice to have a 4th ranked BE team next week at least. Let’s beat a ranked Creighton on the road for the first time under Hurley. The first of 8 straight wins to end the season.
