Big South Basketball is much better than Big South Football.

Losing with class is important. I have sat in the Vines so embarassed by the way our coach and team fell apart during a loss. Looking like a sweaty tomatoe ready to explode. Thanks coach Layer for not doing that.

Exploding tomatoe ...I can actually picture that

Half full for sure. Can you imagine Gielo, Baird and Drew Smith in a year or two. Most BS bigs will not be able to handle them.

I like how everybody acts like we should just be blowing through the Big South every year. We might have more money, facilities, whatever, but do you really think the rest of the league and their coaching staff is just sitting on their hands watching us?

I agree that the rest of the league should not just sit on their hands, they also compete. BUT lets talk a little marketing investment, when you spend a lot of money on something in an investment, you want a return that will at least cover your cost, and or even make you some money. Liberty basketball is no different, our school invests large amounts of money on coaching salaries, facilities, recruiting and equipment and there needs to be a return (WINS). We are only seeing wins over NAIA and DIII schools and we have NOT made any kind of run into the big south, much less March madness in quite some time. I dont expect to win out in march but i do expect to be able to finish well among big south opponents

We were 13-5 in conference last year. We were a few CCU shenanigans away from taking 1st. I think that gets forgotten around here.

Yeah. Plus remember our conference tourney results after 2004:

2005 - L first round, upset
2006 - L first round
2007 - L first round, upset
2008 - L semi's to #1 seed
2009 - L semi's to #2 seed
2010 - L first round

Its important to lose with class.
