So I got sucked into the USC-UNC-Asheville NIT game. Really, really impressed with Asheville. Their center Baehre, only a soph, was a true inside out threat with shot blocking capability. Great PG play, excellent 3pt shooting, and well coached. I’d take more than a couple of Asheville’s 2 stars.
Took USC to 2OT and really should have won the game at the end of first OT. If USC was almost in the tourney, it’s a shame a team like Asheville wouldn’t even get a look. They would be competitive as a 12-13 seed against any P5 team.
