Why is it not a valid conversation? Yes, I'm not going to talk about until after the final, but a lot of you are being rather emotional in your reasoning, rather than being factional. So don't be a homer or a hater.

Liberty trailed twice in the game...3-2 for 1:53 in the first half and 12-11 for :27 in the first half, after we took the lead 13-12, we never trailed again...though they did tie the game once late in the going
There would actually be 3 people in the discussion. If you are going to insult people at least get the number of people correct. You will also note that all I did was ask the same standard be applied to both sides of the argument.

You guys are free to do what you want but you look like a bunch of chuckle heads arguing about what the players think about Layer's tie while we're playing in the championship game tomorrow.

NC State players hated Valvano?

Are you serious?

That would be what I blurted out in a sanctuary full of 550 people at an all day conference at church when I stole a peak at my cell phone and saw the final score. When this team shoots well, they win. The thing that most jumps out to me from the boxscore is 11 and 7 from JVP in only 15 minutes.

Just looking at the stats it appears the only thing that kept GW in it was the volume of 3pt shots they took and made.

You would actually be Nancy 2. I'd be Nancy 3. BJ would be Nancy 4. LUConn Nancy 5.

You people suck.

We are going to the championship game for the first time in a decade and you're arguing if the coach should be back next year. Shut up and enjoy the freaking moment.

Liberty fans deserve Liberty athletics.

I don't get it. You guys basically in essence, whipped our butts (we only led twice) to continue the incredible run y'all are on, and all some can do is ask if Layer is worth retaining? :shock: We had little to no answer for your inside game today, you outcoached and outplayed us. Like someone else said, enjoy the moment for pete's sake.

Good luck tomorrow. I hope Sanders recovers and plays well for y'all. :D

Would you like me to walk over and get quotes from them? Not sure they would oblige to me publicly posting comments though.

I have no doubt that most everyone will enjoy the moment. Just also thinking long term. For me, anyway, long term success dwarfs winning in the moment.

No! Shove the whole nancy stupidness. Be happy we won yes but no more of this stupidness about whether Coach Layer is liked by the players (for which no one has offered any concrete proof for EITHER side) and let's all be by our radios or TVs or computers or tablets or cell phones for the game tomorrow

I agree with you all. I will be listening to the game as I am traveling. I didnt plan on having the entire world end by noting that I dont think winning a conference championship in a terrible conference makes up for four lackluster years and a 12-20 season and that if anything this season proves that Layer never had control of the team and the players only played when they wanted to. Per my sources I know that many dislike Layer and his style overall. But that can remain considered as *made up info* if you like.

I'm finished responding about Layer. Good luck to LU tomorrow. Hope they pull it out. It is a good group of guys this year and would be cool to see them in the tournament.
