Welcome into the online inquire podcast.

It is Jeremy Warner and Derek Piper live at State Farm Center where we just saw

Illinois Route, S-I-U-E Edwardsville here, 90 to 58. We saw Kasparis Yakishonis, flirt with a triple double, and if weren't from Marez Johnson and Dre Gibbs-Aulhorn, might have gotten one late in this game, but he does set the freshman record, ties the freshman record set by frank williams uh with 13 assists going

with 12 points and eight rebounds ben hummerkhouse 15 points five of eight from three

tomaslav of visich he has 18 points and seven rebounds he's two of four from three trey white

13 points three threes will riley 14 points and three threes Derek this team likes to shoot threes

and they like to make a lot of them fun Fun offensive stuff from this team. So we'll dive into all that. But boy, this offense looks a little different than last year. And to be honest with you, a little bit more pleasing, even though last year's offense was as efficient as all but two other offenses in the country. Yeah, last year was a lot of fun, no doubt. I mean, the booty ball and being able to lean into that, and Marcus doing what he did, anytime you get to watch Terran Shannon play basketball, especially above the rim and the power that he had dunking the ball, that was a treat to consume for sure. But, yeah, the pace of this team, just the early shot clock threes. I mean,

I know some of them didn't go in, but ultimately when you take that high of a volume and you shoot

40% from three, that's winning the math game, as Brad Underwood is fully leaning into. So they got

ample shooters. They've got a dynamic, outstanding playmaker in KJ, who I wrote about him earlier

this week, saw the potential assist he had in that opener against EIU.

He capitalized on a few more here tonight.

The guys helped him out by making some of those shots.

And, yeah, I mean, if it wasn't, I know Mores stole one rebound from him.

Maybe if DGL is another guy that swooped in

for one, uh, those are two like hard playing all out motor guys. I don't know if Brad should like, I don't know, put in some guys that might have been more willing to let a board go. Marize just can't help man. I don't know. Yeah. He's more likely to let his kid win in Candyland or to let somebody else have a rebound. I don't know, probably neither.

So, but yeah, he was outstanding and he more likely to let his kid win in Candyland or to let somebody else have a rebound.

I don't know.

Probably neither. But, yeah, he was outstanding. And this team, as we were talking about before we hopped on, just so loaded, they throw in some, their first wave of substitutions. And it's Will Riley. It's Dre who's been on fire here recently. It's Mores. and,

um,

that's like they go to the bench and the team's like finally,

they're going to their bench and,
