Kid played huge. All around.

[TheEnemy]

Dude was fun to watch.

He might be our best point guard.   

Dude's passing was impressive and he was a beast on D.

[Birminghog]

When did Trey start dishing like that?

[HawgHeadCheese]

When did Trey start dishing like that?

I always tell my brother hes the best passer on the team.

[PORKULATOR]

Trey's a beast. If he could hit the 3 from the top of the key, he'd be awesome.

Remember Stewart... He was automatic from there.

[hawgmasta]

I always tell my brother hes the best passer on the team.

That was always one of his strengths, dude has great spatial awareness of himself and team mates. That's almost impossible to coach into a player; that's an innate ability.

[HawgnCorona]

U right

U right...

[TheRazorback500]

Very effective at the high post. He'll hit that elbow jumper when they start laying off.

[hogfooey]

He's learning not to foul.  That has cost him minutes.  Another thing I really enjoyed, is that he and Moses have learned to play together.  That will be key for us down the stretch.

[kaiserhog]

Forrest City Joe should be proud of Trey.

[BENJAMINX]

he balled out

[ErieHog]

He's also easily our best outlet passer;  we saw a couple of his boards today lead to great, controlled 25 foot passes to guards who didn't even have to break stride and starting transition.

He is not learning not to foul....we are playing a defense that is better suited for him.  That's the difference.

[hogfooey]

He is doing a better job of not fouling when he contest shots.  That has changed since the beginning of the year.

Trey was getting that ball out of there quick like Oliver Miller used to back in the day.

[Ugly Uncle]

Trey has always had soft hands.  He catches the ball well in traffic, controls the ball well.  He now has better control of his body which keeps him out of foul trouble.  The he sees the court so well.  His instincts with his passes are remarkable.  I think this team is better when he and Kingsley are on the court at the same time.

[Bacon_Bitz]

Played some tough D on Saiz too

[hawginbigd1]

When did Trey start dishing like that?

His best attribute, he sees the floor better than most.

[XavierZane]

Heck of a statline:  8 points (4 of 4), 8 rebounds, 3 assists, 3 steals, and 3 blocks.

Defensively, Thompson gives Kingsley the freedom to challenge more shots because he cleans up the rebounds and finishes the defensive possession out.

[PonderinHog]

I like the way they're using Trey now.  Sometimes Moses needs a break and sometimes Moses needs some help.  Trey provides both of those things.  I know a lot of people are down on Thomas, but we have been playing well/winning with him in the lineup.  If he ever figures out this layup thing, watch out!

[Paul]

Forrest City Joe should be proud of Trey.

he's from Madison...a suburb of FC  heh 

[trippigs]

Kinda like Big O! Remember his baseball style inbound passes all the way to the basket

[Rirruto]

MFers act like they forgot about Trey.

[Hog Fan from Camden]

I  hope Mike starts Trey along side Gafford next year. 

[HawgnCorona]

The last good passing big man we had was The "O"...

[NotSoFastMyFriend]

Very productive today. Has a really high ceiling when given the minutes.

To play Kingsley and Trey together....Thomas has to give us minutes.  So he is important going forward.

[HawgnCorona]

I  hope Mike starts Trey along side Gafford next year. 

Trey will be in the starting line up but Thomas and Cookie man will get most of those minutes, I think. However Gafford will get his backing these guys up.

[forrest city joe]

I call DTS a few weeks back and said Mike needs to start giving Trey more time.and Mike is doing that now.and Trey is balling his you know off.so proud of him.he is making Forrest city and Madison proud.GO HOGS.

[HawgnCorona]

You arent taking credit for that are you Joe?

Thanks Joe for getting Mike straightened out on this.  Very smart move by you!  Plus 100!!

IKR...I don't think I've ever seen someone 6'8 miss so many point blank layups right at the rim. He should lead the team in And 1's. When he does figure it out his PPG might double.

Think where we'd be if he had already figured it out.  Hope he starts practicing on that.

Trey does pick up some Silva like fouls at times. Doing a much better job of avoiding those lately though.

[forrest city joe]

Nope. i just know my basketball.and glad he made the move i wanted.credit goes to Mike and his staff.

[Cmheinley]

It's almost Scarry how good his anticipation and vision are. They need to work on drills designed around Trey dishes. He had some amazing passes, but there were so many times that we ended up turning the ball over because he threw the ball perfectly but his target didn't cut or wasn't looking.

[HawgnCorona]

Well maybe you can go on Drivetime put and in a good word for him to get another big man with that last scholly for 2017, yes?

Good move though.

[bosshog84]

Stat sheet stuffer! I'm glad to see Trey start playing well! Making us Forrest Citians proud!

FC is city that needs to produce more, hopefully that up and coming sophomore is the start of trend...I hated playing u guys back in the day.

[HawgnCorona]

I wish he had two more years, post this year to play...

[farfromgroovins]

Having Trey pop out pulls a big out of the lane and lets either Moses get 1-on-1 or guards slashing. Worked well tonight.....Like!

[The_Iceman]

8 points
8 rebounds
3 assists
3 blocks
3 steals
24 minutes

Shows you what can happen when a developmental player actually sticks it out and plays 4 years for Mike.

[Hogginintheville]

And when Mike finally figures out how to use his rotation correctly.

A compliment for MA by Iceman. Things have really changed!!

Trey should get every one of Thomas's minutes going forward.  No comparison. Never seen so many missed one footers.  Thomas is skeert!!!

If he can stay out of foul trouble.

[realistichog]

Mike played Trey less than 20 minutes his freshman year which just wasted a year of eligibility. That move is looking dumber by the day.
