I've seen nine basketball games...

...and 14 teams so far this year. I watched Stevenson three times and Loyola and Marian Catholic twice. Here's how I would rank them:

1. Stevenson (25-1)
2. Marian Catholic (23-2)
3. Simeon (18-6)
4. Zion-Benton (23-5)
5. Lake Forest (20-6)
6. Fremd (24-0)
7. St. Viator (19-5)
8. St. Rita (17-7)
9. Loyola (20-5)
10. Benet (18-8)
11. St. Patrick (13-12)
12. St. Ignatius (12-13)
13. Glenbrook South (12-13)
14. Barrington (10-17)

And if I had an all-star team it would consist of Tyler Ulis and Jalen Brunson at guard, Milik Yarbrough and Evan Boudreaux at forward, and Sean O'Mara (above) at center.
