Would be great to steal a win from the perennial Big South favorites on their court. This game will be televised on MASN, tip-off is scheduled for 7 Tuesday.

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




They really live and die by their 4 seniors:

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





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





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





Image
#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:

Image
#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.

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

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

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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.
