LU will play Towson (5-5) in the first round, and either Akron (8-2) or Tulane (7-2) in the second round.

[BJWilliams]

I have a question but I almost want to ask it off the record so as not to jinx the team.

[thepostman]

I'll be there Friday night. If anybody else is in the area feel free to shoot me a message.

[LUDad]

Cannot look forward to LSU...

Towson lost to Flordia by 6
Akron lost to Louisville by 6
Tulane lost to Utah by 5

[Geraldos Mustache]

Amen brother. Gotta play one game at a time.

Hoping we get challenged in these games. We need it.

This game won't be a gimme. The UVa/UMBC game should be a good reminder of that. There is some good ball in the CAA.

UMBC isn't a CAA member, however many awesome programs have been CAA members: ODU, George Mason, VCU, etc...

I wasn’t suggesting they were...Towson is and Towson is CAA. If UVA could be toppled by an American East team, we should certainly be wary of a CAA opponent.

My ESPN app shows Towson as 7 point favorites, not sure where that’s coming from

Not sure why, but ESPN has it flipped. Liberty is -7 on the major bookie sites.

I will be there! It is at the new Entertainment and Sports Arena in SE DC. I have never been there but It is a smaller venue, about 4,000 for basketball. Should make for a decent environment for a small holiday tourney like this.

I am rocking my Liberty polo at work today so if you're at the arena this afternoon look for me!

Is anyone else feeling uneasy about this tourney? I can see us dropping one here and then beating LSU.

The tournament in the Bahamas was on FloHoops and within one month of this tournament. Tried to warn you guys then. 5 games for $30. Not ideal but also not terrible.

Did NBC Universal confirm that they can broadcast the game?

Got it - Just wasn't updating on their app.

Trailed Towson at halftime, but starting to inch away down the stretch. Akron tomorrow with a win.

Watching the Flames live for the first time in a while and RM's calm demeanor during the ups and downs of the game is pretty impressive.

[thepostman]

That time of the game where the opponent runs out of gas. It seems to happen every game with about 4 or 5 minutes remaining.

Up 59-45 with 3:25 to go

[thepostman]

Liberty wins and will face Akron tomorrow at 3:30.

From what I saw today, Towson looked better than Akron but it'll be another tight game because that is all we know

To piggyback off your post, the thing that impresses me most about this team is their poise. They get down close to double digits in 2nd half and don't panic and get out of their game. Coach fosters that mindset.
