Medic, I really shouldn't have been posting that late. When it gets close to midnight, I turn into GMTM sometimes.

TorC, we finally agree on something: Burrus and JVP were giving VMI fits inside last night. Reminded me of the time the Ace dropped 40 on them.

Here is Lang's article on the game, with lots of quotes from Duggar about Jesse:

VMI clamps down on LU
By: Chris Lang | Lynchburg News and Advance
Published: January 10, 2012
...The Keydets’ success came because they eliminated Liberty guard Jesse Sanders, the reigning Big South player of the year, as a threat. Sanders scored a season-low three points and tied a season low with three assists. With Sanders struggling to get into a flow, the rest of the team followed suit. Liberty trailed 71-50 with 2:12 to play before scoring seven straight points to end the game against VMI’s bench players.

“You have to do a good job on him, and you can’t lose sight of your other guy,” Baucom said. “You can’t ball watch with him because he’s the best that’s ever played in this league in setting guys up. Statistics prove that, and I’ve lived through it for four years. I’ll be happy when he graduates. That’s a huge compliment. I can’t wait for him to graduate because he has been a terror to guard.

“I think he’s the Energizer Bunny. He makes guys around him play better. We knew that going in. He had a really off game, but I hope we had something to do with that.”

I hate this for Jesse Sanders.

This. He deserved better.

Agreed as well. you can sense the mounting frustration in the candor of Jesse's responses as this has gone on. He will go down as probably the best point guard in LU history and his last season has to be play out this way...absolutely terrible

If he would pass to anyone other than JC, it wouldn't have to be this bad for him.
