Exactly...

You guys know what happened when Austin and Tyler were on the floor?

They were pulled out to guard Travis and Chavis and would get schooled, and then there's no one in the paint to help out.

Just because Alex got 40/20 against them doesnt mean he didnt give up buckets on the defensive end. He was just a versatile post presence who was the key to our offense. That's not the key anymore. If Seth had gone for 40 tonight no one would be crying for more post play. You guys are so freaking outcome based, which is why you will never ever be good coaches, and should let RMK do his job.

It's about the process and technique, not the outcome.

You keep saying "you guys" but I think you're just arguing with one guy.

I guess I am the one guy. I thought this was a message board where we can express our opinions.. sorry luconn

Just because I prove you wrong I am infringing your right to free speech on the message board?

Someone is weak-willed, eh?

You can have all of the incorrect opinions that you want and post them until the cows come home. I was just correcting TTL as it seemed like he was getting the impression that everybody here thought like you.

Actually troy brought it up that a post player would have helped & I refuted the point... Helped?? That's of course true that anything might've helped tonight but that is for the LU players to soul search about, but it wouldn't have made the difference based on the CONS side of having a big man on the floor vs VMI was my point..

[01LUGrad]

Something tells me this board might just blow up tonight...

[LUconn]

If I see the first 3 words of the bible post I will personally blow it up.

[WWJFD]

I am not on here to argue. I was truly saying I am sorry. I did not mean to upset anyone. I hope the team does well...

Truce?

[flame fan-tastic]

Anyone notice they were doing all the cheers we did last time we played them?

Thank you Sonia and our house are the two I noticed.

[kdinva]

Guys, I NEVER thought in a 100 years today's game would turn out the way it did. We were hoping for a "breakout" game after three consecutive losses, but no one saw this coming. This by far VMI's best 40-minute effort since the Kentucky game. These things can happen to most any squad, most any night. Heck, we've been on the losing end of 30+ point blowouts waaayyy too many times the past 20 years. We felt after the Presby. game 8 days ago like you all do tonight. Shoot: we don't get embarrassed at PC, and have CCU hit a buzzer-beater two nights before that, we'd be playing for first Saturday nite at High Point.

I personally thought we should have cleared the whole bench at the 4:00 media time out. We had two guys not play at all, and two others play only 40 seconds.

Just focus on Radford, you can win that game, just be confident, hit shots early, and take their big guys out of the equation.

Oh yeah, they pulled out all the ones from their home game...we deserve it

[Schfourteenteen]

Nah.....the fun discussion will come out tomorrow

"Will we actually get the 4 seed?"

[LUconn]

Hmmm, would Jerry have agreed to this truce? Sure, why not.

[Hold My Own]

VMI's defense is the best I've seen this year....if they shoot and play D like that go ahead and hand them the trophy now

[bozlady]

Kudos to the Keydets and their fans. Congratulations!

[scuzdriver]

Just remember, this is a very young team with a huge upside for the future. These kind of games are all building blocks. It's just growing pains.

[Mo]

Kudos to the Keydets and their fans. Congratulations!

Thanks so much. What a refreshing contrast to the Winthrop fans in defeat.

LU has an immediate, bright future in basketball. I hope we don't regret winning by this margin during the regular season.

Aside from signing your fight song during post-game prayer (we respected the alma mater, would hope for the same sort of respect in return, but emotions run high after a big win), your fans were good, loud, and gave us a taste of our own medicine. Good showing and maybe we can do this again in a week or so?

I don't know if our fans even know that you have a post-game thing. I certainly didn't. Other than the academies, we've never seen anyone else have one, so I have to doubt it was intentional.

Apologies on their behalf, regardless.

Playing you again in the tourney suits me fine. If we can't win it, I hope you do.

[ToTheLeft]

Nah, it was frustrating at the moment, but anything is frustrating after you get blown out by 40 points.

The alma mater is a sweet experience, tho. Hearing Cameron just hum with the tune gives ya goosebumps.

No harm, no foul. Boys prayed the prayer and hit the locker room. LU and VMI fans left, the latter happier than the former.

And trust me, we would much rather see you guys than RU. That's for darn sure. We'd rather get beat running than get beat watching a 7 foot Russian dropping the ball in the hoop.

[dompennix]

what i learned
vmi fans can make liberty home
austin could have helped the team alot in the post
WE NEED JESSE

[coastalfan1]

a coastal fan talking crap?? when is the last time your basketball team has done anything?? at least the unca guy has a place to talk...get out of here you freaking troll

with that said...how the heck do you not come out for this game and play hard?? VMI made a ton of tough shots and then our guys went and hid in a hole...

Jesse is so important for this team and bringing the energy level up...i hope he gets better soon

my team always sucks so i can talk crap, it gives me room to comment on others suckiness when i know what it looks like

109-72



u suck

Thanks--would hope we didn't ruffle any feathers there.

Believe it or not, I'd rather play Radford again than Liberty. As long as we're shooting decently, I think we actually match up against them better.

[ToTheLeft]

Like we were saying... Parahouskie and Lynch Flour might be able to go for a ton of points and boards, but they're also going to give up easy buckets to all your players since they just don't match up... The big 7 footer steps out on Chavis and next thing you know big dude just has to watch an easy bucket go in behind him, then try and run down the floor and hope the ball gets to him without being picked off by the press.

[whmatthews]

Guys, shut up. One game doesn't tell you anything about a team, a program, or anything.

This is just like...

after the UNCA game

"We won't win but maybe 2 conference games. let's hope UVA doesn't kill us."

we beat UVA and almost beat clemson

"now, when we get our 13 seed to the dance and win the rest of our conference games..."

we lose to Winthrop and Presby

"We need a big man, Kyle needs to stop shooting"

we go on a winning streak

"RMK is doing a good job with this team..."

we lose to ODU and VMI

"we need a post player, RMK sucks."


How about you look at the whole season?

We have 20 freaking wins. This is in coach's SECOND year. TWENTY. Props to that.

We have played a lot of very good basketball this year. Big road wins at CCU, CSU, VMI, and UVA. We suck on the road historically, so consider that a bright spot and proof that RMK might know what he's freaking doin.

If you guys don't like RMK and his style, LC has a basketball team you can support. Or suck it up and pull for him even if you don't agree. RMK has brought this team to the point where we're on ESPN. Come on people, doesn't that mean anything? Just because he won't conform to the armchair coaches who want Art Parahouski down low to score 50 and get 30 rebounds, he sucks as a coach?

He has a style, and it freaking works. I am 100% behind this team, and excited to see what they can do in this years tourney, and in the next 3 seasons. This is the start, not the end. So stop being pretending that since you watch Steven A Smith, Dick Vitale, and Steve Lavin on TV that you know coach a team, sit back, and watch a great coach and a great man put an excellent team on the floor every night.

Go Flames, Beat Radford, and let's make a run in the tourney.

how about liberty beats vmi in the semi's so we dont have to worry about that, thanks
