What a turnaround...from 0-6 to 9-9...winners of 9 or last 12 conference games, a 6-2 record in the month of February and avenged all of our conference losses except Winthrop and Asheville

Congrats to Liberty, a very gutsy win tonite over a frustrated Campbell team. LU deserves to have Monday off, VMI deserves to play, the Keydets absolutely stunk today on their Senior day. The four VMI seniors combined to shoot 7-34. They didn't deserve a top-6.

Good luck vs. Chuck South.

Our seniors didn't exactly light it up either, but thank goodness a couple of Juniors and a Sophomore sure did!

I'm suprised no one mentioned the Camels only had 19 pts going into the media TO......in the 2nd half. I would have but my phone battery died and JB was too stingy to go out to his car and bring one too me!
Finishing 5th this year after all the losses, Gielos injury etc, is an outstanding job and a credit to the players and coaching staff. We will miss Jesse but I think we can expect better then a 5th place next year! The future does not look bleak!

My only complaint was the nachos were watered down and lack of leg room. I know a normal person would stop buying them after the 30th time, but hope springs eternal! We moved to the Red seats to sit with some friends for the 2nd half of the Men's game and I need to ice my knees. Wow that's cramped. I like my blue plastic seats!
Did I mention I liked the Zooperstars?

Don't blame me. It was actually Barber's fault :D

True. He should have iPhone charging stations located on the concourse. Or he should provide them to those who need them during the game!

Our two seniors were a combined 9 of 17. Buggs was 4 of 6 from the foul line, but his two misses were with 22 seconds left and would have tied the game. Coleman for PC killed us, 30 points and 14 boards. :shock:

Now we get to go to High Point and pray Barbour doesn't drop 50 on us. :(

Mentioned this on press row tonight ... Presbyterian was 2-9 and went 6-1 the rest of the way in league. The loss was by 13 at home to Liberty.

You know those players like Coleman have to be ticked for the PC screw up that added a year of ineligibilty. I wonder if some NBA team will give Coleman a look at least....

Man I love coming home and reading through game threads that have great endings!

Props to Coach but especially the guys for never giving up.

What a way to pick up steam heading into the tourney. Great finish!

It's great to get the win and I actually like that we had some different guys getting the job done since Jesse and David had off nights. Makes us harder to defend going into the conference tourney.

Big positive victories to secure a 5th seed. Team is playing as good as anybody in league at this time. I have no problem giving credit when it is earned. Good luck in tourney.

Thanks. But the change is in the level of performance. Way too many on here live as I have said on the Sesame Street of lower expectations to politically protect those responsible! It plays out in unique but consistent dialogue. Maybe some will start to realize just how tough it is to consistently be a top three team in a NCAA Division 1 Conference. Good six week finish to Coach and team.

No pictures of the game on libertyflames.com :( . I was hoping to see the Zooperstars ask Jesse Sanders to be their next character :).
