These next 3 games will tell us a ton about this team. Can they put 3 solid games together? Does the D travel? Can someone other than Darius carry us on O? Do they have a winning mentality?

Some good, fun matchup possibility's too!

Here is a decent tourney preview, Spot on for LU:

[ATrain]

We lead 39 - 31 at the half, after trailing by as many as 11 at one point

[Sly Fox]

The last few minutes were more stressful than they needed to be but we escape, 76-74.

[jmclaughlin]

A win, albeit a frustrating one. Just cant make that many mistakes down the stretch and let a team back in it. Missed free throws and non sense turnovers are the norm with this team. I am not sure how McKay keeps his cool. Winning a game shooting 45% from the free throw line is a rarity.
Wipe the slate and do it again tomorrow!

There were some stretches in this game where our offense looked unstoppable. We have potential here if we can harness it. I trust McKay’s team to keep getting better and to be a really tough out come tourney time.

Abii and Shiloh are making our frontcourt, which looked like a weakness coming into this year, into a strength.

[Geraldos Mustache]

Liberty can win this tournament if they can play more consistent.
Agree with everyone here. The turnovers and missed free throws are uncharacteristic of a McKay team. They can do better. I trust Richie will get them there.

There are times when we look like an absolute juggernaut on offense with everyone in rhythm and everything clicking but then we’ll turn the ball over 5 times on 6 possessions and I’m left wondering how we’ve won at all. Anyway we won and avoided a terrible collapse and that’s all that matters.

[Cider Jim]

Northern Iowa had the chance to win it with a contested long 3 ball, but thank God they missed the shot with an air ball, and we didn't foul them (again).

Poor defense in 2nd half (43 points). But a win is a win. Good to see Abii have a good game . 11 points in 15 minutes of PT.

Was this game on radio ? I couldn't find it.

[LU Grad 11]

Good win against a solid opponent. Abii is a baller. Hopefully, he's earned his minutes now. Bad time for a game for those of us who work.

Not sure about radio, but it was televised on ESPNU. I watched the whole game from my living room.

It was on the radio. I don't recall now for sure but I think it was on 107.5. AY broadcasted from Liberty Arena while watching the video feed.
