Otis came tearing into Monday's matchup with 11 straight wins (a stretch where they outscored their opponents by an average of 31.5 points), and they left with even more momentum. They breezed past the Lone Star Longhorns to the tune of 74-43. Given the Bulldogs' advantage in MaxPreps' Colorado basketball rankings (they are ranked 91st, while the Longhorns are ranked 284th), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.
Multiple players turned in solid performances to lead Otis to victory, but perhaps none more so than Charlie Kendrick, who went 5-for-11 en route to 12 points along with eight rebounds and seven assists. Kendrick is also on a roll when it comes to shooting accuracy, as he's posted one of at least 45% in the last three games he's played. Travis Wood also deserves some recognition as he grabbed his first steal of the season.
Kendrick wasn't the only one working in the assist department: Otis was working as a unit and finished the game with 24 assists. That's the most assists they've posted since back in February of 2024.
Lone Star lost despite a true team effort on offense. The best among them was Jesus Hermosillo, who dropped a double-double with 12 points and 11 boards. He is becoming a predictor of Lone Star's success: when he posts at least ten rebounds the team is 2-1 (and 5-8 when he doesn't). Another player making a difference was Grant Kuntz, who almost dropped a double-double with ten boards and nine assists.
Otis pushed their record up to 14-2 with the win, which was their sixth straight on the road. The wins came thanks in part to their offensive performance across that stretch, as they averaged 66.3 points over those games. As for Lone Star, they are on a three-game losing streak that has dropped them down to 7-9.
