St. Louis, MO – The men's basketball coach at McKendree College in the Metro-East will try to do legendary coach Dean Smith one better tonight (Wed.)

Harry Statham and Smith are tied for the most wins for a college basketball coach. But a win tonight (Wednesday)against Maryville University would give Statham number 880.

The McKendree Bearcats have a record of 8-2 so far this season; Maryville is 2-3.
