Me too.
Only 2 ASUN wins, and the last we played them we beat them by almost 30. Are you thinking this is a TRAP game? Play Basketball

It fits the profile of a trap game, but it's more than that IMHO. KSU has a lot of young talent and they are a better team than they were when we played them. Even back then, they gave us a tussle in the first game before we rolled over them the next day, and those games were on our court. They are coming off an impressive win over FGCU, and should have the freedom from anxiety that comes with low expectations.

Several years ago we went into the BSC tournament with almost as bad a record as KSU has and shocked the world. It's not likely, but it's possible.

I can't say I'm overly concerned but as a Liberty sports fan, it is almost impossible to take much for granted. If we continue to play at the high level we have we have nothing to worry about. If not. Well, you never know what could happen. They have nothing to lose which is always dangerous.

They have MANY close losses. If they're starting to find a way to hang on in the clutch, they are dangerous

I took the over at 128.5. I don't love LU -17.5 at all. It could be a coasting situation and last year neither of the first two rounds of the ASUNT games were runaways. I can see 75-60 type games. Maybe 70-60 even.

Are they high school students that won a contest to call a game?
Sounds like they are high school freshman, who lost the contest to call the game. Didn't think it was possible, but they are worse this second half. I just had to turn the sound off. Couldn't take it anymore.

Exactly!
If we've got a bad game in us, let's get it out of our system NOW.
First half was very difficult to watch. In the end, I'm OK with a 10 point win.

N Alabama just beat N Florida 68-60. I'm pulling for The Lions and Bellarmine to win any time their opponent is not us. Would love to see us face one of them in the final so the whole country will get to see how stupid the ASUN was to let them play in the tournament.
