COVER STORY A ’ CAST REUNITES ONSTAGE IN ‘AMADEUS’ By Lianna Salva The Rocky Mountain Collegian

Starting Saturday, he will resume this confession as he portrays Antonio Salieri in Open- Stage Theatre Company’s production of “Amadeus.” As coincidence would have it, the play begins 32 years after the Mdeath of Mozart, with Salieri confessing his sins to the audience.

While working for others has been a trademark of Octeus’ game throughout much of the season, he showed in the Rams’ most recent win Wednesday night against San Diego State that the 6-foot-4 guard can put the ball in the basket as well. Playing in just 12 minutes, Octe- us shot 4-6 from the field and tallied nine points in the game, two of which came off the closing dunk that sealed CSU’s 66-60 win over the Aztecs. “We wouldn’t be where we’re at as a team if it wasn’t for him, let alone last game,” CSU coach Larry Eustachy said. “When Jesse went down, some- body had to step up … and he’s done well. He’s a real winner; he’s gonna be a great player before he leaves here.” The previous six games prior to Wednesday, Octeus shot just 26.3 percent from the field, but that didn’t stop him from having one of his best offensive performances in CSU’s most tightly-contested games of the year. Despite the tough stretch Octeus was going through, his teammates had faith in him and felt comfortable with the ball in his hands. “Yesterday before we even got into the game, Jesse (Carr) told me, he said, ‘You belong,’ ” Octeus said. “He told me and Daniel (Beja- rano) that we belong, so once he said that, a light flicked on. You always feel like you belong but it’s nice to hear it, so when he said that yester- day it’s just — we understand that we have to come in and contribute, there can’t be a doubt, there can’t be a drop when we come into the game.” When Octeus is on the floor, that drop has usually not occurred. According to sports-reference. com, Octeus has assisted an average of 11.7 percent of all teammate field goals while he is in the game. That mark is the fifth-best on the team. “You can’t say enough about what he’s done for us this year coming off the bench,” senior guard Dorian Green said. “Especially when we lost Jesse, we lost a little bit of depth, but we knew with him that we were gonna be OK. The success he’s had and the confidence he’s been playing with lately has been huge.” Assistant Sports Editor Andrew Schaller can be reached at sports@ collegian.com. 12 Friday, February 15, 2013 sports w omen’s basketball “It’s really rewarding for me to show that they can do anything Prepped for Pink Out and give back.” By Cali Rastrelli Emma Martens | president of community cakes The Rocky Mountain Collegian The women’s basketball team | would love nothing more than to pack cakes Inspired to Moby Arena to capacity for Saturday’s Pink Out game against Air Force.
