Agree -- I think Beers staying out of foul trouble enough to play 3/4 the game and Chavez are the keys.
As for the last game with SC, we played better defense than we normally do. I thought the kids played with crazy effort on defense in that game.
As an aside, I thought Beers dad was going to come out of the stands and beat up a ref a few times in the MSU game. Pretty funny stuff.
