Just watching them dancing around acting like idiots throughout the 2nd half and ESPN cutting to those shots really rubbed salt in the wounds. It's to be expected, I'm not saying there's anything wrong with it, but it just made me want to crawl through the TV and punch them in the face. Congratulations on the win. I just hope you lose your next game and most future games.Couldn't agree more

Liberty will be a very good team again next season. A healthy Sanders and everyone else one year older, LU is a top-3 pick in the 2010 preseason poll, IMO. Ant. Smith had a very good career; will be hard to replace but Coach mcKay will find a good 4-man to handle the inside.

For crying out loud, it was 5 on 3 during the second half. No wonder VMI pulled away. Spencer, Stephene, Brolin, Smith and Baker all played scared. VMI was collapsing on our three scorers and those guys wouldn't shoot the ball. I think I understand though. For most of them it was there first time in a really big game and they were scared. They will learn.
In the second half, with VMI up 10, 15, or 20 points, anytime James Spencer, Johnny Stephene, Brolin Floyd, and at times Tyler Baker got the ball they just stood there. They were wide open. There was no one around. They wouldn't even throw up the show. At what point do you say, "Oh, hey, if we lose, we're done. Maybe I should shoot the ball." Just throw something up. For the love of God, try a shot. I know these guys shot in high school. I know they shoot in pick up games. I know they shoot in warm-ups. If no one is within ten feet of them, why not at least try a shot.
I would rather try and fail than never try at all.
