We will be there. Not holding out hope for the nachos

Good ole Rick Reeves. I'm still somewhat sentimental about him from the early days of Liberty Women's basketball. His daughters were pretty good ball players (Kimmie) on the mountain as well.

We've had a solid year so far, especially considering all the injuries the ladies are going through.

You guys have had the injury bug for a few years now.

I, too, am a big fan of Coach Reeves and taught one of his daughters, but it's still fun to beat them!

Every season since the Hudson twins graduated.

I do think the league is a bit better this year, more than half the teams still at .500 or better. LU clearly the favorite, but not invincible.

Speaking of injuries is there any updates on Jasmine Gardner's status for this year, Jessi Edmunds status ever and Sadalia Ellis' availability for Thursday's game ?

Jessi's career is over...as for the other two maybe Lang can find out ahead of the matchup tomorrow night

Damien Sordlett covers the women, not Lang.

Ah ok.

I'm happy to report that there is no Title IX violation. They are not serving nachos at this game either

Is it more telling that you have only scored 11 points and are losing. Or 18 and winning with 5 min left in the half? LU up

Both teams finish with a 'flurry of offense'. 30-17 at half. You can tell GW is under manned/womaned. For some reason our girls don't want to make that high low pass. It not for lack of urging from the coaching staff.

62-36 4 min left. Reeves with a T. We have the bulk of our starters still In

Liberty wins 72-40. Rininger leads all scorers with 22. Green for G-W held to 8 points and 9 rebounds

I gathered that from SLY's post

To tell you how stats can be deceiving. The TO's and Reb's should indicate a very close game because if you can keep that rebound margin close against LU and be equal in the TO battle, that's a recipe for an opponents victory. Then take a gander at the shooting percentages and there is the rest of the story .....

GWU looked pretty bad tonight. Couldn't make a basket (or FT) to save their lives. I would be surprised if they play that bad again against us down there. We need to lob more balls into the low blocks to our girls who are 5-6 inches taller than the defender. Begin made a nice lob into Kearney at the end of the game for an easy bucket. Those bounce passes at the posts' ankles drive me goofy, although they're doing less of that this year. We're still a pretty young team - room to improve.

FIFY

It was the bounce pass off the dribble (which I love as it is a lost art) at the ankles that drove me nuts.

It was fun seeing Reaves get a technical, and if Purple would have been reffing, he probably would have ejected him for mouthing off after the "T".

I saw/heard it coming. Of course I wouldn't have given him anything to get that upset about. But if did I'd let him vent for awhile to get it out of his system before I stuck him. He deserved it and he knew it.

Agreed...oh and Ashley has topped her season total from last year with 14 games to go in the regular season. She is currently on pace (based on her current average) to finish with 465 points this year.

Were you at the game? Thanks again for the validation either way

I was not...Im in Portsmouth but I watched the game online (My wife and I moved in with my parents...see The Chapel for why). Id like to swing back through Lynchburg for a home game once Ive settled into my new job, but she certainly is asserting her dominance in the post, which I was curious whether or not she would before the season.
