Overall Record ... 9-7
Big South .......... 0-1
Home Record ..... 5-1



They really live and die by their 4 seniors:


#10 Chris Gaynor
G Sr. 5-10 161
10.6 PPG, 43.2% 3-pts, 4.25 APG






#11 Michael Jenkins
G Sr. 6-3 195
14.1 PPG, 32.4 MPG






#21 Antwon Harris
G Sr. 6-3 206
8.8 PPG






#31 Taj McCullough
F Sr. 6-7 227
13.1 PPG, 5.3 RPG




Outside of those 4 they are very young and inexperienced. Their other starter will probably be:


#42 Charles Corbin
F Fr. 6-7 228
6.6 PPG, 3.4 RPG

They do play 10 guys most games, so depth will be in their favor. However, only 8 guys get significant time.

This should be fun to watch the matchup between Gaynor and Bannister. The 2 best PG's in the conference.

[ToTheLeft]

Will be at B-Dubs watching it. Fan the Flames.

[LUconn]

has anybody gone there and asked them about it yet?

[SuperJon]

Doing it this afternoon. I meant to do it yesterday but forgot to. There's no possible reason for them to say no.

[LUconn]

maybe they only reserve national games for the big screen. LU/WU isn't that big of a draw.

[SuperJon]

If they have people coming in asking for it, they'll change it. That's what the screens are there for. If there are 30-40 people there wanting to watch the game, I got a feeling they'll put it on.

[JDUB]

last time i was in there they had fox news on the big screen. i think they'll put anything up there if someone asks for it

[TDDance234]

Really looking forward to the Teejay/Gaynor matchup.

[sweetnahmah1]

i'm exicited about this game, after the close loss to asheville and the close loss by winthrop to hp i think we really have a good chance and it'll be a great game to watch

[ATrain]

I think Winthrop will be mad as h-e-double-hockey-sticks and will take it out on us...which will allow us to take it out on CSU in the Big South home opener

[WinthropEagleFan]

Should be an interesting matchup...wish I was able to be there to see it live.

[bigsmooth]

the PG matchup should be awesome. let's see what RMK's game plan has in store for the eagles.

[LUconn]

My guess is TeeJay is on the bench for most of the game in foul trouble. He fouls a ton playing against people who aren't Gaynor.

[jcmanson]

I think TeeJay will pick it up a notch tonight, much like he did against UNCA. I think he got bored some in the non-conference slate and didn't focus like he should have. I'm expecting him to feel challenged by Gaynor, and play great.

[flamesfilmguy]

hey fella's sorry i've been on a FF.com sabaticle(gmtm?) I will be there tonight at BWW. and jon just informed me that the game will be on the big screens so be there!

[horrez]

It should be a good game tonight. I wish I could go to it.

[jcmanson]

LU is up 7-4 right now. We are playing a triangle and 2 with Bannister and Jenkins chasing Gaynor and Jenkins. It's really got them baffled. Anthony and Rell looking great, but Rell's got 2 fouls so far. 14:23 left in 1st half.

[TIMSCAR20]

Love the Blue uniforms!!!! Great shooting by the texas kids. Gaynor has taken 2 charges for Winthrop.

[TIMSCAR20]

Liberty has already played 8 players as J Holland and Jeremy Anderson have come off the bench with Kyle Ohman. Good to see my boy Justin on the floor. Liberty playing great defense with the triangle and 2. Anderson 2 for 3 from downtown.

[thepostman]

sitting here at my internship with the live stats going...wish I could be watching it.

Live stats says 15-12 LU

[PAmedic]

Listening to JE as I'm stuck at work

17-14 LU

[PAmedic]

sloppy sounding game- missed FGs and turnovers.

no one wants to score right now-

4 min left in the 1st half and we foul

[PAmedic]

Tie game as their Jenkins hits the 3

17 all

[PAmedic]

3:43 left in the 1st half- JEREMY ANDERSON leads all scorers w/ 6
