This will be a very tough game. This is a solid team.

I think we got on TV because...

1. This is a matchup of 2 of the top assist guys in the NCAA.
2. They wanted to get every conference involved on the TV side of things, and did so for the most part (no MEAC, every other conference was represented on TV). Coastal isn't doing BracketBusters, so we are the best option, especially when you consider number 1.

Beating Richmond is a pretty good accomplishment and so is a 6 pt loss to Syracuse. Could be a tougher game than some of you guys are expecting.
Yes it was.

I think this game is a gift. It is a great time slot on ESPNU. Iona is a very solid team. It should be a great game! I hope the Vines is packed and we pull out the victory!

I must add for those of you who are already chalking this down as win, there's a reason why you don't play games on paper. Because on paper, they'd win.

I think that when it comes to D-1 games, nobody is just "chalking this down as a win".

It should be noted that Iona beat currently-tied-for-3rd in the CAA Hofstra by 25 points. They are a legitimate opponent, winnable but not a guranteed W by any means.

Read some of the comments on page 1. I think at least 3 people said this was already a win.

One guy on the Iona board. "Liberty has ballooned their record due to playing mostly home league games. Looks like they have a lot of games they may lose the rest of the way."

I'll excuse their ignorance this time.

if we would have not choked the hampton and wilmington games away, jokers like that couldn't say things like that. We would be sitting a solid 20 spots higher in the RPI atleast with 2 more road wins and Hampton's pretty darn good showing this year.

Pro tip: Don't play the if game with Liberty athletics. You'll save yourself a lot of time and productivity. Trust me.

Schorchy, did you break the board with your last post? That's some serious posting power.

Nah. Decided to do some maintenance. We were one version behind on phpBB and spammers have been using a flaw in the old version to register new accounts every hour or two. With the way I have the board setup, they never were able to post, but the emails notifying me of new accounts were annoying. So I fixed it.

Also taking the time now to purge accounts of people who have never posted. Our user total is going down quite a bit tonight.
