Cabbil with an atrocious take the possesion before then failed to keep the clock in mind on d. Jones didnt have enough time for the drive so the 3 was the only option at that point.

They need to find scottie some help is all i can say.

Both teams took horrible final shots. Radford just happens to have gone in.
Nothing to be ashamed of

Next year we’ll have Newton and Preston to help Scottie plus We’ll add McGhee to give us some much needed scoring.

Such a shame to see Georgie disappear like he did this tournament.

I disagree. Milked the clock. Nothing wrong with that. Still had time to get something better. Just took a horrible shot. It happens.

I can’t screen shot it but here is what he said
Congratulations @LibertyMBB losing at the buzzer in the @BigSouthSports conference championship game. Refs did the worst job officiating a Big South game I’ve seen in quite a while, unfortunately not in favor of @LibertyU !

Which will be in stark contrast to his Employee, Head MBB Coach RMK.

That screams basketball ignorance and allowing emotions to get the best of you. Not a good look but not surprising.

The turnovers lost us the game. Not the refs.

He said what a lot of us are thinking. It was a disappointing season anyway. Liberty was predicted to finish 3rd (we finished 8th, but because of the tiebreakers we finished 5th). Please no stupid not NIT tournament!!!! Hopefully we will get in a more than one big league like the Big East in the future!!!!

If a lot of people are sitting there blaming the refs for this loss you're crazy.

We finished runner ups in the big south. We are improving slowly but surely. The foundation is there. This is not football where we are getting worse.

Honestly, I'm not mad at the loss. Defense played stellar(yeah we relied on our defense, what did you expect from a Tony Bennett product?) and they made an incredible strategic shot. I am fine with my team losing in glorious fashion.

It was a tough game to officiate. I think they did a decent job. There were times I thought they made the wrong call but it went both ways.

The refs were never even close to being in my head after the last shot went in which tells me they did alright.

I have read jr may not of even been there but I find that hard to believe.

For the record, I don’t see what Ryan said as blaming the refs. I think he was pointing out they were bad but implied they were bad both ways.

Hindsight being 20-20, should have called a TO and set up a better shot. Cabill has the lowest 3pt FG% of starters.

It's embarrassing. I've wanted to leave the Big South in everything from day one!!!! Do you see any big teams in the CIT, CBI, etc? Yeah didn't think so.

That's how I read it as well. I think he may be a bit more upset by it because there were 2 or 3 non calls he was directly involved with.

I don't believe he said it, unless I see it. Then I am not sure. There have been some tweets hacked lately. It would be way out of character for him to say something like that about a sports event. Hope I am not wrong about this. It sure would be disappointing. I don't see he said anything like that on my Twitter account.
