Game 23: GMU (17-5 / 8-1) at GW (15-7 / 4-5) on Wednesday, February 5, at 7:00 PM.

[Leesburg Chankenstank III]

I'll bite. JB has been a great infusion on offense the last few games. He seems to just about be there defensively as well, but you can see they don't completely trust him on that side of the ball yet. Even last game there were a few possessions where Zach and others had to cover for him and re-direct him on some screens where he didn't seem to be on the same page as far as switching/hedging/fighting through. Like I said he's getting there and has shown a willingness to take a charge and put his body on the line, but it's clear CTS values defense first (Even Darius has been sitting in crunch time lately) and will give minutes to the guys he knows are going to be locked in on that side of the ball.

I love Begg’s game but this is spot on.

I love Begg’s game but this is spot on.

Generally O’Connor is just a more versatile defender overall — better rebounder, can guard more positions, etc.

And we are talking about our 3rd leading scorer who has been in double digits in 7 of our last 9 games.

I honestly like the overall roles and rotations. Having Begg as a 9 man who can play with either KD or O’Connor as a secondary ballhandler a luxury. He’s getting valuable experience playing meaningful minutes right now without a lot of pressure to produce, which is probably helping his confidence.

Just based on the attendance bump we had that day. I'd say they brought in about a thousand fans. They might not all have been bussed in, some were likely just local alumni. I believe that game is our highest attended game this season.
