Anyone know if the players are going home for Christmas before this one? Makes me a little nervous if they are.

Our toughest test of the season, and the only game we were expected to lose at the start of the season.

And now it doesn't seem quite as tough as it did at the beginning of the season. Still a middle of the road SEC team on the road is still a tough game. If we can shoot the ball like we did on Saturday then we shouldn't have any issues winning this game but shooting has been so inconsistent that there is no way to predict that.

Yes they did and will all meet in LA, same thing that happened last year against UCLA.

That’s really the key. If we come out and play like we did in the Vanderbilt game I think we lose this one but if we come out and play like we did against Akron than I think we win this one in a similar fashion. I know we closed Vanderbilt well but It would definitely be to our advantage to play like we did against Akron.

Well it worked out fine that time

I think it's better this way. First off, it's not just a break, it's Christmas. Secondly, it's better to have let them spend some time with family, then to let them get distracted by wishing they we're able to.

Liberty preparing for national showdown Sunday at LSU

Where does this game rank as "biggest" regular season game in LU history ?

Maybe biggest ever considering where we could be ranked in the polls if we win!

This, and our odds to go undefeated will be decent if we win.

We probably won't go undefeated if we lose.

I mean, I can't think of a bigger regular season game. The only other one I can think of was UCLA, because they got us national attention.

Who knows if we'll get ranked. In 1998 the Women went undefeated until losing to undefeated TN in the first round, and they were never ranked. It seems like we will always have something to prove, and it may be better that ay.

I will say that our men's team this year has gotten a lot more respect than what our women's team ever did.

The 2005 Sweet 16 team finished in top 25. The good ol' days!

An outlier game could catch us. For instance, North Flordia lives and dies by 3 point shots. They launched 46 3-pointers against Syracuse and hit 37% and were in the game all the way. We would have a harder controlling boards on defensive end on those longer rebounds. Game could get dicey if we don't play a good defensive game. If they don't connect on those shots, game would likely be a blowout.

Looks like LSU is a 5.5 point favorite. Seems like a lot of points to me.

No LSU boards? I have found a few but none mentioning their last game or this one. Maybe some other sport is keeping them busy?
