Best part of this win was beating a team that shot lights out. We earned it. They played well.

WIN over an SEC school who got in foul trouble. McKay out coached Howland. And Homesley and Baxter-Bell and Cabbil carried the team.

We actually didn’t even play that well for LU - I know their guard play on O and Bigs on D had a lot to do with it, but our D was very loose and uncharacteristicly undisciplined most of the night and our O wasn’t passing it around like normal - and we still grit out a win. Their Head Coach helped us a lot being overly cautious sitting his 2 studs with 4 fouls. Next game will be completely different guys stepping up ( the beauty of this team ). Getting that monkey of our back is so hard and what a win - so proud of guys making all those free throws at the end ( Sean it a 100 times where the underdogs can’t handle the heat at the end and start clanking free throws )

This team is good at the basketballing!

Honestly, this wasn't close to the best game they've played this year and they still knocked off an SEC team that was hitting shots all night (except for the last 5 minutes). Scottie was pretty much a non-factor and our D was questionable at times. I don't think it is a stretch at all to be thinking Sweet 16 at this point.

It's a stretch if you're watching VA Tech right now... They're straight up dominating St. Louis.

Starting to look like we will be facing the Hokies Sunday. They are up 34-13 with 4 minutes to play in the first half.

St Louis wouldn't be in the tourney without getting hot in their conference tourney so they may be a bit out of their element. Liberty is much better than St Louis so will certainly give Virginia Tech trouble but it'll be a tough game to win. Will come down to the wire again I'm sure.

I loved the charges we drew. Their guards were quick but they drove sometimes recklessly and we took advantage and got them in foul trouble. I thought James pressed too much trying to go inside. It was a huge mismatch, MBB on the other hand...Their bigs had trouble reaching over his big body for blocks. Ritchie and co drew up an awesome game plan with the driving and kicking it out.

As for the next game, it looks like we're getting Tech. We played them tough earlier. They have one of the worst 3% defenses I believe. Just have to hit our shots and play solid defense.
