For yet another season, there will be playoff basketball in the Valley. RGV clinched a playoff birth last weekend, and they will look to improve on last year’s first round exit.
The Vipers are playing well at the right time. Darius Morris and a fully healed Isaiah Taylor form a deadly 1-2 punch handling the ball. Jaron Johnson’s addition down the stretch has been huge.
The extra offense from Johnson and fellow newcomer Troy Williams allows Gary Payton II to focus on defense, rebounding and running the floor.
