Once again if you view scrimmages as tests. I really don't know BU's philosophy. But to me it's about seeing what different players can do in different spots on the court with different lineups.It's still likely a top 60 kenpom team this year, which is a mid to low mid end big ten team. Not a bad test in October
Let me give you an example. If we "won" by 2 points but I learned we played zone half the game and got beat by 15 during that time I wouldn't be very concerned.
The measure of success is what did you learn about your team.
