CJ Fair Should Be Recognized

[Coach Orange]

CJ had another solid game: 13 points (on 45% shooting) , six rebounds, three steals, two blocks, zero turnovers, and only one foul.

He's easy to overlook because of how consistent he is and how well MCW, Triche, and Southerland played, but we shouldn't take his contributions for granted.

(A side note of recognition--props to Brandon for playing effectively through obvious pain. His toughness is rubbing off on the rest of the team.)

We wouldn't be going to Atlanta if not for CJ. He's key on both ends of the court.

Digger couldn't stop praising CJ for his performance on both ends of the floor .. I agree!!

Made several key baskets and put backs when the game was still within the danger zone.

 

[Coach Orange]

The footwork on his reverse pivot move was flawless. Strong with the Force this one is, yes.

Thought those 2 straight baskets CJ got when the lead was down to 5 really changed to momentum back to SU

Yeah, those were key - we really needed those points there.

Favorite player on the team. So glad we escaped G'town so he wouldn't be the goat of that one.

If I recall, he added a big dunk on a strong drive to the hoop in overtime to help the cause.

I'm with you--he is easy to cheer for based on his solid fundamentals and his consistent production.

Of course - I still have the game on dvr just for that dunk.
Running out of space though. Do I erase G'town, IU, or Marquette for the next game?

Wow--that's a tough choice. The last Big East win over Georgetown has to stay, right? How can you erase the game that got us to the Final Four? Can't believe I may have to recommend ditching the win over a one seed, especially one named Indiana... :noidea:
