Our offense has looked better each game this year. Underwood has done a great job in this area. After watching Smith a few times last year I thought his game would be like Carsen Edwards..I still think he can come close to that level. He will have to work hard this offseason.

TJL If I were to pick the players in order I would want on this team it would go like this: 1. Trent Frazier 2. Leron Black 3. Te'Jon Lucas Some of you are completely delusional when it comes to TJL. If everyone played the way he does we would be a lot better off than we are right now. He...

Kasubke I was there when Luke Kasubke was arguable the best player on the court when Chaminade waxed Morgan Park earlier this year at the Highland Shootout. Kid was fearless backed down to no one and definitely a great shooter. He was named player of game with 27 points with 7 3pointers...

I have to agree with the common theme after tonight's game. We do not have the ATHLETES required to run Underwood's system right now. Almost every game this year I see a new wrinkle in the offense that hasn't been seen. We seem to be running better offense every game. But.... We do not have...

Yes please on the QB from CA and his receivers...#4 and #11

How about almost the entire team has had the flu. My wife has it now and has been in bed for 5 straight days. Can't imagine how hard its been on these guys to fight through this and play at a high level.

I don't want to be a Smith hater because I live the next town over from Edwardsville and seen him play many times last year. I thought he was amazing and would contribute much more than he is right now. But, to say that Lucas is slower than Mark Smith is just not accurate. Lucas has on many...

Highland Invitational Watched EJ play for the first time at Alton on Friday and at the Highland Invitational on Saturday and came away impressed. The one thing that sticks out to me over the last two games is his ability to block shots. I believe he had 10 blocked shots in both games. He is...

Will the game be on Big Ten replay?

I agree that Smith should be running the point. But, coming off the bench and probably not in crunch time just yet. Trent and Te'jon seem to be playing a little quicker and with more confidence. Smith's time will come. Hope he gets more time with the ball in his hands.

They were all better than Matic and Greg E!!

This is a mindset and style that Coach U has instilled in the players. Cream even mentioned that your winning percentage goes way up the quicker your team goes into the bonus. Underwood has to know this. We are not talented enough offensively to overcome putting teams in double bonus so early...

Another game where we foul to much..at 8:25 UNLV was in double bonus..we have to stop doing this if we want to beat average to good teams. Underwood needs to figure this out quickly!!

Totally agree!

100% correct!!
