VJ Edgecombe - Looks good in return Edgecombe closed with 14 points (6-9 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 2-4 FT), six rebounds, three assists, one block and four steals over 30 minutes during Monday's 88-57 victory over Abilene Christi...
Impact Edgecombe (hamstring) returned from a one-game hiatus to fill up the boxscore Monday. Edgecombe did not connect on any of his three-point attempts but was perfect from inside the arc and continued to serve as a menace on the defensive end, matching a season high with four steals and marking the eighth time in eight games he posted at least one steal and one block. Most importantly, despite the result of the contest never really being in doubt, the star freshman played 30 minutes, an encouraging sign that his gimpy hamstring should be in good shape moving forward.
