I hate to say it, but Russ looks just awful out there. He just can't hang on to the ball.

It seems like Justin Holland is doing a very adequate job off of the bench spelling TJ. 3 assists and 3 boards.

Wow, we come out ice cold for the second half and Presby goes on a 14-1 run.

Ace takes the lid off the basket. Our lead is 7.

Line of the night by Jerry Edwards, I think we were up 21.
"Presbyterian scores for the first time in... like, forever... and the lead is cut to twenty."

McKay's comments:
  • Game was ugly, pleased to get out with a win where nobody was hurt... guys are mentally and physically tired, a lot to do with their academics.

    Team doing a better job of sharing the ball.

    Bannister is a special player, has great potential - he's going through adversity, but McKay keeps encouraging him.

    Loves being at Liberty, loved the student support.

    Team's recent success attributed to unselfishness.

    Kyle Ohman is really a starter, but has great humility to be coming off the bench. He finds a niche in this team that helps it overall.

    Their leading scorer did not score tonight - He was Rell's man.

    They have made 90 3-pointers already this season, none against us.

    Can't announce who it is, but Saturday the team will scrimmage another D-1 team... it can't be broadcasted or televised.

The actual song went:

Presby has a little Lamb
Little Lamb
Little Lamb
Presby has a little lamb
Who couldn't make a shot


Like I said in other places, we make things up as we go along every night, but wanted people to know the basics. It worked about as well as FEMA in New Orleans. On to plan D, E, and F.

Some of the cheers we came up with throughout the game, along with memorable quotes:

Mini Miller clap clap clapclapclap
Boooooger Booooger - one of their players' nickname was Booger
De-por-ta-tion clap clap clapclapclap - for their European player
The air-ball one of course
Their coach was complaining about a back court call that wasn't made and TBGBG goes, "Hey Joe Gibbs, learn the rules before you whine about em."

A song we thought about singing, and a couple of us did but we didn't do it big, was:

Jesus loves predestined children
All the children that he picked
You and you and you and you
Not you or you but you and you
Jesus loves the children that He picked

There were a few others, but I'm too tired to remember.






On another note, to show how awesome Coach McKay is, he bought pizza for our entire group tonight before the game. It was his way of thanking us. He came up and talked to us for a second and told us thanks. Before the game, after our Ritchie chant, we started a "Thanks for piz-za" chant and he started laughing.

Haven't checked the PC board, but they'll probably say they played us tight.
