BGP #6 Ashland vs. Trinity

 

Please post updates and media links here.

 

Per Trinity Athletics Twitter - Tipoff is at 7:00 tonight at Transylvania University’s Beck Center.

I'll be there to see Ashland win by 14.

My Town TV - Home will broadcast the game live.

Questions for the Tomcat faithful:

 

After last year's Sweet 16, do you consider this a revenge game?

 

How good is frosh Colin Porter?

 

Blazer is shooting phenominally well. Does your scoring prowess trump the Shamrock's traditionally stout Defense?

Ashland’s shooting is as cold as the weather outside tonight through the first 10 minutes of the game. They’ll not stay that way I don’t think.

I don't consider it a revenge game, Trinity isnt the same team this season as they were last season. A win is always nice though.

 

Porter is very good for a freshman. Word is UK is looking at him.

 

Ashland has played a lot of teams that are bigger than they are or try to slow the game down and during the first half that has worked. Coach May's has been really good at making the adjustments needed to pull away in the second half though. That said, Ashland is due for a loss.

End of Q1

 

Trinity 11

How's the crowd?

First time I’ve been in Transy’s new arena. It’s top notch.

Halftime

 

Trinity 23

Ashland 21

End of Q3

 

Trinity 36

Ashland 35

Trinity up by one after 3. I missed the score. Not looking good as far as Ashland pulling away imo. Trinity is controlling the pace of the game and their defense is really solid.

Ashland up 44-41 with 1:17 left in the game. They have the ball after a timeout

1 min left. Ashland time out.

Ashland by three, 44-41 with 1:17 left.
