The Conference has put together a very solid Non Conference Season:

Coastal has gone 9-3 with a couple very impressive losses (13 points to UCLA, and 3 points agianst Ole Miss), and a Victory against Auburn.

High Point is also 9-3 with Losses to Clemson (3 pts.), Richmond and Ohio State,

Radford is 9-4 with an impressive win against Virginia Tech.

Ashville has the leading scorer in the country. Winthrop and Charleston Southern are very good teams as well.

Should be a competitive Big South Season, #GoFlames

Competitive within the top 5...I can see us finishing 9th, ahead of PC and Longwood...but no one else.

Have we ever beaten Longwood (phrasing) at Longwood before?

No, and Flames Nation apparently created quite the buzz on their campus per this article:

Realistically this team can win 4-6 more games on good nights. However I believe we will go 3-15 the rest of the way with home wins over Longwood and Presbyterian and a road win against a middle team in the conference (Best win in a shameful year). Layer gets fired, never is a head coach again, and Ethan Layer transfers to VT.

PAFlame, you may be right on the W/L predictions.

Ethan would be a tremendous D2/3 player

But he started yesterday! He must be pretty good!

Against an NAIA team. I rest my point

That's funny. The link they used is wrong though, it's from our Longwood Hate Day post

I can't figure out for the life of me how the 13 fans that school has thinks we could be there rivals. That's about all I have to say about that.

You hypocrite. Didn't you read the comments in the article posted? We can't have rivalries and we all know 13 is the number of Satan!

This is what we do to heretics like you!

Layer coaches up the boys, they figure out their roles and go on a 6 game winning streak, We finish 9-9 in conference. Jerry would call this my BHAG for this team.

The two big movers are, Charleston Southern, I think they will finish Top 3, and Liberty, Im hoping they finish top 4.

Also, its odd that the two teams with the leading scorers in the conference so far, are terrible against DI opponents, Rowsey and the kid from Presby. Andrew is such a volume scorer, I think it hurts his team. Id take him on the mtn for sure however. They are a combined 1-16 against DI opponents.

We're not finishing top 4.

I'm thinking 4 more wins.

Which then leads to one of three potential scenarios:

1) Liberty loses in the first round and Layer is fired before getting off the bus in Lynchburg
2) Liberty goes on ANOTHER magical run and wins the Big South and Layer gets 1 more year (maybe 2)
3) Liberty wins a game or two, does not win the Big South and JB lets him go while making it look like he resigned so he has at least a little dignity

That is much more than a BHAG. It's like the sun rising in the West.
