Thanks for taking the time to provide that analysis.  I think at the end of the discussion, it comes down to this:  Brandon cannot get by his man and get to the hole as reliably as Dion can.  Brandon is a solid guy, love having him in the rotation, and he is very steady.  But Brandon seldom explodes like Dion can.  In order to win the title, we need both Dion and James to snap out of it and start scoring again, like they did a month ago.  That's the bottom line right now.  We have to rebound better, and we need those 2 guys to start scoring again.

This is why it's nice to have 1o guys, by the way.  The 2 frosh are turning into token rotation guys, but if we do have to play them for an extended period, they both have gotten 250-300+ minutes of playing time so far - enough for them to hopefully not be too nervous if we have to play them due to foul trouble or injury.  Then you still have a couple key guys out of the top 8 who are not scoring, and we still are 27-1.  I mean, that's outrageous.  We're really deep, even as we see the rotation tightening down to 8 guys, we still have quality depth and flexibility.
