BENDIGO Telstra Braves coach Wayne Larkins has high hopes that by Sunday evening his side will have made the astonishing transformation from cannon fodder to contender.
A dismal start to the South East Australian Basketball League season has been matched only a remarkable mid-to-late season revival, which could be capped this weekend by back-to-back victories in Canberra.
The Braves will meet the youthful AIS squad on Saturday night before backing up against Canberra the following afternoon.
"We've come up trumps the past two weeks which probably puts us in a position to realistically play off for third or fourth (in the eastern conference)," Larkins said.
"Normally you'd go away to Canberra on a weekend like this and you'd be satisfied if you got one win of the two, but the way we're going there's no reason why we can't win both games.
"I think if we can win both games then all of a sudden we're playing for a first or second spot on the (eastern conference) ladder."
Larkins played down an on-court spat with Taylor Bell that occurred on  Saturday night, saying the matter had been resolved.

Ladder leaders outplay... |

THE ladder-leading Bendigo IGA Lady Braves outplayed the Frankston Blues in Saturday night's basketball clash at the Schweppes Centre. Apart from a lapse in the second quarter, Bendigo dominated play on the way to a 93-59 victory.
Five Braves scored double figures and a tight-knit defence kept the Blues to under 60 points. Bendigo led 27-14 at quarter-time, but was remarkably off target in the second quarter.
Both line-ups added just 15 points in a lacklustre quarter. Bendigo's quick transition was a highlight of its scoring run in the second half.
The Lady Braves racked up 51 points and kept the Blues to just 30. Victorious coach Bernie Harrower said despite the second quarter fadeout, it was one of the Lady Braves' most complete team games for the season.
"We pride ourselves on being able to keep a team under 60 points and we did that again," Harrower said. "In the second half the girls moved the ball a lot quicker and made some great shots."
