Final in the rematch from Anderson Gym. Ashland won the first meeting 64-60 in Charleston (WV) last week. GW is the #3 team in WV. Their record drops to 14-2 with the loss, with both losses coming to Ashland. They have blown out every other opponent. Closest game is 13 points, IIRC. 

Ashland improves to 19-7, if I’m not mistaken. They’ve played pretty well since the 3-5 start. This was a replacement game for the Menifee Co game that was canceled. Ashland hasn’t been great from the perimeter in the last few games, but, the addition of Neel raises their ceiling, IMO. If they can get hot at tournament time, they could make a really nice run, IMO.

Really good win for the Tomcats. You're right the addition of Neel really ups things for Ashland, especially after losing Jennings. Only thing bad I'll say about this one is I wish Clarke wouldn't have dunked that ball at the buzzer, but kids will be kids.

Really hard to compare in state teams to out of state teams.  Looks like WV teams only plays about 2/3's of the amount of games that we play.

It is hard to compare...but...GW is from WV's largest city. The heart of their schedule is against teams from Charleston and Huntington. They play great competition by most people's standards and have won all of those games in convincing fashion. Ashland's two wins over them are impressive to me because Ashland didn't shoot particularly well in either game. They also seemed a little lethargic in the first half of the second game, probably because it was a Saturday afternoon game and they had just played late Friday night. GW hadn't played in over a week. In the end though, beating a championship contender in WV doesn't translate to beating top teams in Kentucky, but winning both those games is definitely a good sign this late in the season.
