GW Hoops / GW BEATS Dayton Game Thread

One last thought on the Dayton game...I don;t know for sure which came first..Jun indicating that he couldn't play or CC swapping Christian for Jacoi in the starting lineup. Nevertheless, I can foresee a scenario where CC was contemplating this change, then learns that he will not have Jun, and then decides to stick with Jacoi as a starter to avoid too much disruption. I give CC a lot of credit to sticking with his instincts and making the lineup change, even without Jun in the lineup. I suspect there would be many coaches who would have flip flopped under the same circumstances.

Great in depth analysis all the way around. One of the great things about college hoops is the growth process as a team. Every time CC is interviewed post game, he keeps looking down at that stat sheet. In putting the Dayton win in perspective along with Jun's rolled ankle I went back and looked at team leaders for the 15 games. Jun was high scorer 6 times in first 9 games and not since, Autry 2 of first 7, Jones 2 of last 6, Gerald 2 of last 4, Moss 1, Nessah 1, and Jacoi 1 vs KState with 19 points. Hansen has led in assists 4 of last 6 games.
The point being that CC knows exactly what he's got. By emphasizing the various strengths of everyone in a timely fashion he can plug in the right pieces when needed. Let Jun return healthy and focus on D and rebounding first. Then when the fast break opportunity pops up who better to finish at the rim than him?? His offense should follow his D. He'll be fine. And don't forget that he led the team in assists 5 times this year.
Don't know what to expect in RI but hoping for (besides a safe trip) a confident maximum effort by a great group of guys.
LETS GO REVS!!
