Every fan knows it; basketball has entered the golden age of the 3-pointer recently. It has become a guard-dominant game, no question.
CSU’s men’s hoops team is no different. Its top scorers, Gian Clavell and John Gillon, are both quick slashers with the ball, have solid jumpers and neither hesitates to pull the trigger from deep when open.
Guards like them are the type of players most teams rely on for points these days. But post play is still integral in this game. Teams that get dominated inside the way CSU did on Sunday by in-state rival Colorado have a tough time winning, even with solid guard play.
