Terrence Shannon told Underwood to leave him out in the 2nd half, because 'these guys are rolling and Matt is cooking'. Brad says it was then about us.

Have to say that Trent Frazier is what is right about team sports. He went from being the focal point on offense to a reduced role to help win games and also became a great defender. He can still score when the team needs it as we saw. Thats what its all about. Respect.
