Louie. I think you missed something. The pass around to Barnhizer I believe was Buie to Beran to Berry to Barnhizer ;-)

I'll have to take another look. You could be right. Thanks.

Yes, Ty got the assist on that one. But it definitely was such a pretty sequence, involving all of the Killer B's.

That play should be on a permanent video. Teaching reel. Whatever. Most unselfish play I may have ever seen in basketball. And he made the shot.

I am going to disagree. The play turned out pretty as heck, but... When BB put up the shot there was less than a second on the shot clock. Berry (I think it was Berry) passed up an open look. If BB fumbles the ball even slightly, the buzzer goes, and we don't even get off a shot. Sometimes it works, and sometimes it's necessary, but I don't think passing with less than 2 seconds on the shot clock should be taught as a positive.

Coaches must be drilling this year’s team on late shot clock scenarios. They are so much more confident with 2-3 seconds left than in the past.

Loved the play where Tydus saved the ball under the basket with a casual flip to Boo, who made the layup to beat the shot clock. Not clear if Tydus knew there was no time left, but if he did, he was real cool about it.

Complete unselfishness and berry was looking right at the clock when he made the pass.
