Final
Liberty 66 - Towson 54

Nice 12 point victory.
Appears as though we were down 30-25 at the half.
Others on the board say LU was losing by double digits in 2nd half yet we end up winning by 12? That seems very odd. Did Towson have a total meltdown?

LU outscores Towson 41-24 in second half. Wow!

Not sure what to make of all of this. I like that we can play from behind and not lose composure. I'm not comfortable with being down double digits in the 2nd half. That is troubling.

[thepostman]

We were never down double digits that I recall. If we were it was short lived.

I mentioned that we were "close" to being down by double digits in the second half. We were down by 7 (32-25) around the 17-18 minute mark and Towson had ball and passed on a 3-point shot that would have put them up by 10. They ended up missing a lay-up that would have put them up by 9.

Up next: Akron - they're as good or maybe better than Vandy. Hopefully they keep taking care of business.

[thepostman]

Akron didn't look very strong and barely beat a pretty bad Tulane team. With that said they very well could've had an off night and we aren't in any position to overlook anybody.

[A Sea of Red]

Based on all metrics, Akron is the best team we've faced this season.

Here's our game preview for today's championship game

[ATrain]

Akron didn't look very strong and barely beat a pretty bad Tulane team. With that said they very well could've had an off night and we aren't in any position to overlook anybody.

They are 9 - 2, with losses to WVU and #2 Louisville. They lost by 10 to WVU and 6 to Louisville. They can play.

[thepostman]

Oh you're right which is why their play in the game yesterday was kind of surprising to me. They were lucky to win that game against a pretty bad Tulane team.

With that said, you could tell they were well coached and it should be an entertaining game this afternoon

[Kricket]

Akron is ranked 51 in the NET. They're pretty easily the best team we've faced all year.

[thepostman]

Liberty is down 28-21 with 4 minutes left in the half.

[Kricket]

Akron had been hot the last few minutes from deep. If they keep this up it'll be tough to beat them.

[thepostman]

It'll be telling to see how Akron feels at about 6 to 8 minutes left in the game. It is at that point where teams tend to get worn out. Our offense is so streaky that we will never pull away from a team early on.

[Kricket]

We close the half with an 11-0 run. 32 to 28 good guys.

[thepostman]

Yeah, such a streaky offense. We shall see if our defense can tire them out so we can pull away.

[Flametrain2010]

Shouldn't look down on this Akron team they only lost to Louisville by like 8 I believe, good to be up by 4 at half!

[thepostman]

For the record, I wasn't looking down on Akron. They didn't play well against Tulane yesterday when I saw them. Obviously it was an off day or they were simply playing down to their competition. It was evident they were very well coached.

[Kricket]

54-39 with 10 minutes left. Flames in control.

[Kricket]

68-50 with 4 minutes left. Impressive game for the flames. Maybe their best game this year.

[thepostman]

They really came out to play in the 2nd half. If they hang out, it'll be their best win of the year.

[Kricket]

Flames win 80-67. Great game! This team is special.

[thepostman]

Bring on LSU!

[Kricket]

Scottie James named the tournament MVP.

[Kricket]

We shot 67% from the floor and 50% from three. Impressive shooting. We will need to be hot against LSU to pull that one out.
