Thoughts?
I thought we played sloppy at time especially the start of the 2nd half.

that would have been a whole new level of disturbing even for me...in other news, we cant finish any worse than 4th with 4 games to go, and with how we've done at home this year, locking up a home game is pretty huge. if we win Saturday I think we lock up the 2 seed (because we'd have the season sweep of all three teams behind us)

Noticed that Radford had 6 international players on their roster, including their 7'1" center who is listed at 285. I don't guess LU has faced a BSC center that gigantic since UNC-Asheville's 7'7" Kenny George. :shock: '

This is the first time we've swept Radford since 1997.

We have now tied a school record for most conference wins in one year.

tough game indeed. that abele character was a real d-bag...anyway it was an ugly win, but glad we got it sone and clinched 2nd. no energy in the crowd. the "boo box" was dead and the other students were not themselves. burrus finally showed a glimpse of what he did last year and evan was huge. hopign for a nice crwod and more energy from everyone saturday.


PS....bee-jay......bro you can't say stuff like man....lol

I actually thought that JVP did a pretty daggon good job on Abele. That dude is 7'1" - 285. 285!! And JVP was in his side the entire game, of course Frankenstein is going to get his positioning and rebounding and few points, but JVP played him really well and had him extremely frustrated. :clapping - JVP

When BJ straps on his red bandana, you never know what he is going to do or say: he may be channeling Aunt Jemima or Aunt Choe. :shock:

FYI .. haven't clinched second yet. Need one more win or one more Winthrop loss. LU has clinched no worse than third, though.

Rashard Jennings makes a surprise appearance on FSN.

LU leads 59 to 55 with 10 remaining.
I knew it when I said it but it was too late...Jags, Colts, Titans Texans. Live TV.
I understand SCAR. Just pointing it out :) thanks for doing such a good job calling the games.

thanks a lot Jbock...I try to be entertaining and insightful...This team is fun to call games for though. They keep us on our toes.

The fact that Radford has 6 interntional players on their roster is about as a kin to 7 Latvians who live in Kansas... yeah that's my point it doesn't make sense at all :D I mean Radford and the surrounding area is about as non-diverse as it gets.

That is all the work of Ali Ton. Now that he is at Cal-Irvine, Radford's roster will return to some sense of normalcy over the next few years and the anteaters will become the UN of college basketball.

Abele is definately a large human being. Awkward and lumbering, but he has a pretty good idea how to use his size. If he can get in halfway decent shape he will have a good career at the BSC level.

Good point, as always, olld flame. In the time he was in, he looked he was in a lot of pain: I couldn't tell if he was just sucking wind from being out of shape, or if Burras was such a bruiser inside that he literally putting the big hurt on Radford's new freshman center.
