Will Veasley will now be an assistant coach at North Dakota State. He was at Illinois State for three years. Also worked for IUPUI and played pro ball overseas. Winningest player in BU history. I know we all wish him well as he really represented well as a player and a person. He was smooth!

 

Veasley always impressed me with his demeanor. Happy for him and wish him well.

His 3-point bank shot vs Syracuse will forever be remembered.

 

I wonder how many shots it would take now to replicate it!! Great memory.

The only bummer was after that game the guy couldn't buy a bucket...

 

I still say he drills that corner three against Duke in the title game if Zoubeck doesn't tip it out of bounds.
