Will the LUnatics lead the charge to the floor after knocking off the top dog?

I sure hope not. It's not a court-rushable win.

Eddie has that "oh crap we just ran into a buzzsaw" look on his face...and UNCA has flat given up. Hopefully this win will get us over that little mid-conference season slump.

LU up by 20, Scar said Alex came to play with his big boy pants on tonight. Too funny.

I hate the fact that this thrashing is going to be explained away as "oh, they sat out George". No way we were losing tonight.

Not saying Liberty would have won or lost, but it's a legitimate excuse. Kenny George could have completely changed the game...

Actually, I think it would have been very similar. It was close in the 1st half when we played more of a half court offense, and we pulled away in the 2nd when we started running. I don't see George changing that, save for the fact that maybe they have the lead going into the half?

With George in the game, we'd have had to rely on the 3 point shot...but it is nice to see we CAN have an inside game.

Actually, he was in about midway through the second half, got called for a foul in about 5 seconds and came out.

Kenny George would have helped the UNCA offensive woes and would have basically taken away anything within 5 feet of the basket on defense when he was in the game, unless you guys have someone pull a Hansbrough and dunk on him. Based on the final score, it looks like Liberty most likely still would have won, but the impact George made could have at least put UNCA in the position to make a comeback.

Very impressive. And if George doesn't play, he doesn't play. Excuses are lame...you play with who you have available, so no need to discount your win because he didn't play.

WU will have to play very well on Tuesday night up in Vines in order to win...should be fun.

Hope we can get 5-6 K in the Vines on Tuesday, too.

We will have to play a similar game to beat WU on Tuesday, it will be tough for sure.

It counts the same without him playing as it does with him playing.
