Beautiful in so many ways.

Can you see the gap..............
....between UCLA and the trOJies?  I can.

You know, the shot was amazing and quite frankly expected.  AA is a true champion.  But you know why I have watched the shot several times?

To see the gap between our two programs widening.  Take a look at the video again.  The difference between elite teams and NIT wannabes is what is going on during the last 5 seconds.....AA is elevating and The Prince , El Presidente and Roll are all displacing the trojans under the boards because they are just staring at the shot....even if AA misses all three Bruins are right under the boards ready to put back a miss.....it's beautiful and why I love Ben Ball.

Good eye
Even if AA missed, we would have likely gotten the rebound unless it bounced long, and it would have been an easy putback either way. That's coaching and keeping your head in the game. The trOJans just gave up position.

Agreed
I noticed the position our guys had, too.  I don't think that was luck.  That was guys applying what Ben taught them.

Hey, Coach Dorrell - watch Ben and maybe you'll learn something.
