We need to smoke their boots like we did Winthrop the other night.

BigSouthSports.com has their conference record as 7-4.

This is important because they currently rank 4th, and we are 5th. Gardner Webb has a similar record, but we would win the tie break if season ended today.


The top 5 teams do not have to participate in the play in games on Thursday. Winning this game could be the difference of having to win 4 games in 4 days, and only winning 3 games in 3 days.

This will be a tougher game on the road but McKay is confident that our defense will travel. The belief is contagious.

Hoping we can keep the ball a rolling. The buzz around the program is starting to pick up. I had a co-worker who is a gigantic Virginia fan come up to me and compliment the buzz around the team and the progress already. He was very impressed in the development of such a young team. He said he watched the Winthrop game and couldn't believe that was liberty. Hopefully were seeing the rise of an eventual min-major powerhouse. I may have taken a sip of the kool-aid. I feel much like kylo ren in my pull to the light side.

OMG, this may be the worst Big South Video feed I've ever seen. Horrible audio and I feel like I am watching the picture through a tube. No wide angles at all!!

and I thought Presbyterian was bad.

Next time any of you complain about LSFN, remember, you could be watching this.

Don't forget the crack announcers..... "The Flames will need Kermit to hit the three if they are going to get back into this one."

LU was down by 1 point at the time!

That Kermit guy is small, but he has serious hops.

The Millis Center is a nice building, but on the sides, is really no larger than the BucDome at CSU, they have a bunch of their seating in the balcony behind the basket. Explains the bad camera angles a bit.

I had a concussion two months ago and noticed I was getting a headache from watching. Glad it wasn't just me :)
