Has anyone confirmed (besides ole BJ) that Dawson will be back for this game?

From Princeton's perspective,this SCREAMS trap game to me. At home, against a team with exactly 0 D1 wins, two days before a match-up with a top 10 team. If Princeton falls into that we stand a chance at pulling this off.

I just don't see LU getting a win in this one no matter HOW BADLY Princeton plays. This Liberty team struggles to get to 60 points. I don't think they can hold Princeton to under 60 in their building. There just isn't a ton of offensive talent with the Flames. No disrespect to the kids in the program but collectively they are working hard and improving but they are missing a couple of really talented offensive players that most teams seem to have. Competing is a given. These kids will compete. Figuring out how to win is a different animal altogether.

Dawson will be playing this Thursday and will certainly change the dynamic of this team.

Watched and read the "MBB Game Day Central: Princeton" article/video and nothing was said about Dawson.

Probably because the official end to the fall semester is Friday according to the registrar page, so my guess is he still isn't eligible because of that technicality and he will debut against St. Francis (NY)

So, BJ, you are doubting Flamerz's comment above???

Dawson is eligible to play against Princeton

Thanks, Jon. You're about as official as it gets!

I was to be honest...but thanks Jon for confirming that he is in fact eligible for tomorrow

SCAR, excellent post above, reference lack of offense.

The Team left this morning on a Flight to New Jersey. Dawson is on that flight and will be playing and starting tomorrow, if he were ineligible he would not have been on that flight because NCAA rules don't allow ineligible players to travel.

Go Flames

There's two ways to look the end of a semester: either it's the last day of exams or the day final grades are due. In this case, it looks like they went with the end of exams (or at least, Dawson's exams in particular) to determine eligibility and availability.

Dawson got his in early. The team was well aware of the academic calendar.

Apparently you have to subscribe to watch...

Dawson has scored 7 points early on, and Liberty is winning by 3 thus far, 12-9.

Now leading 47-46 with 14 to play. Dawson has 9 points and is 4-5 from the floor. He sat out much of the first half with 2 fouls. Maxwell leading the way as usual with 12.

Im at the Game this team is Leaps and bounds better with Dawson on the floor. Hes played the whole second half with no breaks.

We can win a few games with Dawson. It's a shame theo had to go pull his stunt. We actually probably could have won 15 to 17 with theo on this team now that we've seen Dawson.

Dawson is the Goods!

Showed some flashes and will be an asset to us. Evan had a great game. JD found him with nice passes.
