[ballcoach15]

looks as if they score a lot of points, and give up a lot.

[BJWilliams]

At best they are another streaky team. They havent won more than 2 games in a row all year

[olldflame]

Amazing analysis. Move over SCAR.

[Sly Fox]

I am curious to know how well connected Georgie & Ivan may be from their past experiences in PR.

[Houston05]

JT Escobar came on a visit to Liberty when he was transferring from Ole Miss

[BJWilliams]

Your sarcasm is duly noted oldflame
This is a key stretch here for us, because we have this game, followed by North Alabama and a roadie at Jacksonville before a potential battle for first place with Lipscomb. With UCLA getting better post-Alford, that win is looking more like the statement win our resume has lacked, and we cannot overlook the "worse" teams in our conference in preparing for Lipscomb.

I had forgotten that fact, Houston05. It was at the suggestion of Tomasz if memory serves me correctly (and it doesn't very frequently in my advanced age).

Watching Radford vs Gardner Webb and starting to miss the Big South.

Saw some as well and saw an empty gym; that's the BSC!

Big home test looms as Liberty welcomes North Florida

Judging by the Twitter buzz, there seems to be a lot of buzz about this game from a lot of different student groups and they seem to be jumping on board with what the fire pit crew is doing. I'm hoping for a great turn out. It's a Saturday at the beginning of the semester.

You sir are so right.

[tyndal23]

Crowd is legit !!! Loud on TV also.

[thepostman]

Can't complain about the crowd tonight! Glad the students came out. This should be a good one.

[jbock13]

Big crowd. Playing terrible. Shocking!

[LU 57]

They definitely look a little impatient, and dare I say nervous with the air balls.

Ritchie will have them ready to go for the second half.

Definitely better in second half. Fun to watch Horchler and Scottie James go at it. Horchler is good. Honestly, he is giving Scottie more trouble than Blackshear did.

[tyndal23]

Haven’t heard McCracken once - is he there or is crowd just drowning him out ?

[jinxy]

Please break the cycle and win with the big crowd. Please.

[LUDad]

Looked to me like a NF player left the bench and engaged with the scrum.

[thepostman]

Gutty win tonight. Once again their defense was the difference.

The vines was finally a legit home court advantage. I hope it continues to grow.

[cruzan_flame13]

What a game! Although this was not the best game the boys have played, they sure pulled it off. The atmosphere was a sight to see watching on ESPN+. I hope it will remain like that and the boys stay focus. 5-0 in a new conference is great to obtain! UNA is on a warm streak, so this should not be brushed aside.

[ballah09]

It's crazy to think that UNF will return all 5 starters again next year. Team is pretty good, they are not there yet but close.

Vines finally looked good and it showed! We looked nervous with all those airballs and rushed shots.

[Jonathan Carone]

We finally got the home win with a big crowd. That’s program changing from a fan standpoint.

[Jonathan Carone]

Attendance: 4958

That’s dang near perfect. If we could draw that consistently, I’d be thrilled.
