| EDWARDSVILLE STARTED OFF FAST WITH A 8-0 RUN TO START THE GAME. THEY WERE WINNING 15-4 AFTER THE FIRST QUARTER. THEY STARTED THE 2ND QUARTER OFF WITH A 11-2 AND HAD A 20 POINT LEAD AT HALF. OLIVER STEPHEN HAD A 10 POINT 2ND QUARTER. THE 1ST SUB OF THE GAME FOR THEM CAME WITH :48 LEFT IN THE HALF AND IT WAS FOR :18.THE 6TH MAN PLAYED FOR 4:38 IN THE 3RD QUARTER. THIS IS THE ONLY NEGATIVE THING I CAN SAY ABOUT THEM IS THAT ONLY FIVE GUYS REALLY PLAY. THEY CALLED THE DOGS OFF IN THE 4TH QUARTER WITH 3:54 LEFT AND A 31 POINT LEAD.. THEY ARE WELL COACHED AND TAKE GOOD SHOTS . THEY SHOT 76% FROM THE FIELD, 9 FOR 10 FROM THE 3 POINT ARC, AND 7 FOR 10 FROM THE LINE. THEY WERE REALLY IMPRESSIVE AND IN MY OPINION THE 2ND BEST LARGE SCHOOL AND 3RD BEST TEAM IN THE AREA. | |||||||
| #31) OLIVER STEPHEN 6’4″ JR TAKES GOOD SHOTS IN THE REALM OF THE OFFENSE. HE WAS 7 FOR 7 FROM THE FIELD AND 4 FOR 4 FROM THE 3 POINT ARC AND HAD GAME HIGH 18 POINTS. HE IS A VERY SOLID PLAYER THAT ALSO HAD 6 REBOUNDS | |||||||
| #33) AJ EPENESA 6’5″ JR IS A SOLID ROCK AND TAKES CARE OF BUSINESS INSIDE. HE HAD A SPORTS CENTER DUNK IN THE 1ST QUARTER AND HAD 18 REBOUNDS. HE HAD 11 POINTS . HE WAS 1 FOR 4 FROM THE LINE. HE IS A BEAST AND HE DOESN’T HAVE TO SCORE ON THIS TEAM BUT IF HE HAD TO HE COULD. | |||||||
| #13) MARK SMITH 6’4″ JR. HE HAD 13 POINTS A TYPICAL POINT GUARD THAT HAS SOME QUICKNESS AND PLAYS SOME DEFENSE. HE HAD 16 POINTS , 10 ASSISTS AND 6 REBOUNDS. HE QUIETLY DOES THE POINT AND GETS THE JOB DONE. | |||||||
| #24) CHRYS COLLEY 6’2″ SR HAD A DOUBLE FIGURE POINT GAME WITH 10 POINTS INCLUDING TWO THREE POINTERS. HE IS PART OF A SOLID STARTING FIVE. HE IS QUICK AND AN ATHLETE. | |||||||
| DESMET GOT OFF TO A SLOW START AND WAS DOWN 8-0 BEFORE YOU KNEW IT. THEY WERE DOWN 20 AT HALF AND 29 AFTER THREE QUARTERS. #24) RYAN STIPANOVICH WASN’T A 100% BUT NO EXCUSE BUT HE WASN’T. HE DIDNT SCORE. THEY WERE JUST MANHANDLED TODAY AND NEVER HAD A SHOT. THEY WERE INTIMINATED INSIDE. THEY WERE 3 PLAYERS WITH 6 POINTS. | |||||||

DeSmet has fallen behind the other schools in their conference in the facilities department. The clock in the gym doesn’t have tenths of a second with less than a minute left is one example of being behind the times. I think the other schools give more scholarships than DeSmet does also. The JV team in basketball has some talent and the Tatum factor is gone after this year and that should help. The other main sports there not that far behind.
