Two things happened last night.

One was Kyle Collinsworth's 4th triple double of the season, which tied him for the NCAA record along with a number of others. And now he has the opportunity to break that record and hold it all to himself. Pretty cool for BYU's jack of all trades. Fun how the announcer was declaring him to be the definitive best player on the floor, and of course that means he thinks KC is better than Tyler Haws. Which is true.

I was singing KC's praises before the beginning of last season. It's all coming around.

The other thing that happened was Andrus. Where did he come from? He's been glued to the bench all season, only coming onto the floor in last minute garbage time against bad teams. Looked extremely slow and low-motor in those games.

Then yesterday, due to foul trouble, he came in and played meaningful minutes for the first time that I have seen. High motor. High IQ. Hands. Hit a three pointer. In the right place on defense. Didn't make dumb fouls like our other bigs.

In other words he showed something, and I'm sitting here scratching my head why he has been sitting on the bench this entire time. With all the cruddy play from our bigs, Rose can't find any minutes for a 6'11" guy who knows how to play basketball and has skills?

I'm still scratching my head on Rose ability to evaluate the talent that he has right in front of his nose. I'd like to give him the benefit of the doubt, but I'm scratching my head once again.
