When do students get back?

Residence halls open on Wednesday, Jan. 12, and the first day of classes is Monday, Jan. 17.

[BJWilliams]

We have 4 games to go before the students are back: Home for Charleston Southern and Coastal Carolina and on the road for High point and Radford. If we go 3-1 (with the 1 being at CCU) we'll be 7-1 and that could make for a very raucous Vines Center if the admin taps into that success

Great start to the conference season (4-0). The best news is that this team has plenty of improvement to make. I love the mentality of this team even if they make way too many turnovers and don't shoot especially well. As we go forward and limit our self-destructive behaviors we will start to get scary. I get especially excited thinking about the future of this program under Coach Layer. If he can get this team to the top half of the conference imagine where we will be as we continue to add talent and our current players add experience! Things are looking up!

PS. No one should expect us to beat Coastal. We are playing well but on paper they are clearly a superior team this year and I fully expect them to win the conference.

Congrats on the 4-0 start. Any "W" is a good "W". We blew the Winthrop game 4 weeks ago, but we both took care of the Smoky Mtn. road trip.

And, LU's best ever Big South start happened with no one on the roster named Blair or Curry.

true but the road only gets harder here on out.
they really haven't been tested yet other than beating Winthrop
Presby is a really inconsistent team
its still a great start don't get me wrong

Great win against a team that is not playing well right now. Liberty continues to take full advantage of its opportunities. Looking forward to this weeks games against CSU and CCU. We will all be pumped up if we go against Coastal with a 5-0 record in conference play.

we are all aware...but we have a history of not winning road games regardless of the quality of opponent...so its a nice change.

UNCA was playing without their injured 6' 10" post player who was averaging 12 and 9. They will win their share of games.

Wow this is an amazing start to the Conference! 2 gutsy wins on the road. I am so excited for the guys to get back to the Vines on Thursday. I fear I may be watching from Richmond if the baby doesn't come soon.

SCAR - I'll sub for you on TV if the little lady hasn't downloaded yet!! You can hear my audition tape on Bob Alvis' SportsBuffet! HA

SPeaking of TO's....I would like to see, but am really too lazy to look for, how many TO's we have and how many we have forced/the teams we play have had.
THe good thing is that you can FIX execution during the course of a season, you can't FIX talent.

Haize, I believe we still had 20 turnovers or so.

I saw it earlier, but like you, I am too lazy too.

[Purple Haize]

I actually meant for the season as well. If you are turning the ball over 20 x's a game, yet GETTING 20 turnovers a game, it is sort of a wash.

[BJWilliams]

Haize, I believe we still had 20 turnovers or so.

According to the Statistics on the athletic site we have committed 267 (or 16.7 per game) and forced 252 (or 15.8 per game)

Tremendous start to the season! I'm all ready to call it a success right now. Congrats to the team.

Great

He made a congratulatory post on the G-W thread. As long as we win, it will be the occasional obligatory "nice win for the guys".

[grm]

Hey - there's no downside here whatsoever! It's fantastic!

The only thing that really matters in the way the season is guaged is the BS. Nothing else means much, if anything, & right now, it's a prefect season.
