If we can win this one it will be a quality win. Hopefully the boys learned how to win in the last game and can keep the momentum going. This should be a much tougher challenge........... Nevermind. I was looking at their overall record, not who they played. Still, any win is a good one. Hope we get it.

This would be a good win, we lost to the Bearkats by 14 last year during our horrid start. They are #206 in KenPom where we are #243.

[TDDance234]

Looks like they have some firepower. We're going to need to bring our A+ offensive game tonight.

[Purple Haize]

They haven't beaten anyone. I thought Hillsdale was an Online School HA
Jarvis Christian?
Should be an easy W

Can Sly attend this game, or is he working on Saturdays now, too?

Yes, I am working today. Grrrrrrr. Did I mention Euro clients don't respect US holidays? Grrrrrr. At least their checks clear.

[jcmanson]

34-32 SHSU lead with 15 minutes left in the game

[jcmanson]

Liberty has taken an 8 point lead with less than 8 minutes to go.

Flames win 62-58.

I am pleasantly surprise with this win. Since these games weren't televised it's hard to tell if we are playing better or not but either way it's nice to get a couple D1 wins under our belts.

[Sly Fox]

Very nice win. Based on the stats sheet, it looks like Antwan has shaken off the rust and is getting back to his old self before the injury.

[Bigsouthking]

Maybe the Flames should play all their games in Texas this year!

I wouldn't argue!

[jbock13]

I've got to give credit when credit is due. Nice pair of wins.

[-army56mike-]

Good win. I'll take it. Is our next game against a DII team? Is it an exhibition? I've never heard of the team.

[bluedevilflame]

Greensboro College is Division 3 if I'm not mistaken

[Purple Haize]

You are correct sir

Here's our game recap - http://www.libertyflamesnation.com/libe ... ton-62-58/

[GillsHill2013]

Im tired of seeing this team play D2 and D3 opponents. Outside of a preseason exhibition game it shouldnt happen. Lousy scheduling IMO.

[BJWilliams]

Well maybe you should offer yourself as a consultant for scheduling to JB...basketball is even more beholden to schedule strength and RPI than football. getting games like Clemson like we had a few years ago is going to take VERY special circumstances...like the Tipoff marathon or something because a lot of your bigger names even at the mid major level aren't going to schedule a lot of games on the road with schools like Liberty because it really isn't worth it to them.

RPI and SOS are quantitatively more important in football than in BB. D1 teams usually play sub D1's during breaks, like Christmas, to give the team someone easy to play and break the monotony. You don't have to worry about crowds because the students are gone anyways

There is no excuse to play a non-D1 team once the regular season starts. I know of no other team that does this. D2 and D3 and NAIA teams are your preseason exhibition games. Liberty needs to take one and done road games rather than Lower division games. The only reason to play a game like the coming one is if no other D1 team will play LU.

UNCA plays Bluefield Va Intermont, Montreat and SC Upstate
E Michigan plays Concordia
IPFW plays IU- Kokomo and Tennessee Tech
Wofford plays Emory and Henry and Johnson and Wales
UNC-G plays Greensboro


There are others but you get the idea
