That's something we talk to the guys about over and over in practice. When you get on a good run, you want to try to extend it as much as you can. We got on a good run there and stayed on it and most of the time our defense was fueling that.

We are inviting people to download and use the beta version to give us feedback about how we can enhance Earth Connector's functionality.

I thought Chris's penetration tonight for us was really a key. He got to the rim a couple times and made a couple of nice passes. He's playing some really good basketball for us right now.

We substituted quite a bit and I tried to keep fresh legs on the floor. I think we had a little bit more in the tank late in the game.

I don't really know if anybody's got a realistic shot at winning the conference outside of Mascoutah.

I didn't mention that to the kids before the game, but I know they were thinking about it.

The Nigerian problem is driving oil prices -- it's a pure security question. If the posturing over Iran continues, then we will see oil prices go the same way again.

With our talent level, against an Edwardsville we'd have to play a near-perfect game to win. We fit in pretty well with schools our size, but I think our kids understand the importance of playing against really good competition.

We really shared the ball well tonight and we had a lot of guys step up and hit big shots. The kids look to Mike quite a bit, but I think he did good job of sharing it, too.
