Toward the end of the game when Speaks was in foul trouble, Coach Layer went with 3 bigs, which really seemed to work--Gielo, Smith, and Sommy (and sometimes J.R.).

That's the first time that I've seen 3 bigs in an LU game since BEFORE McKay--back when RD was coaching!

Actually the idea that RD recruited and played a lot of talented big men is revisionist history promulgated by TBGBG, TOC and others. He NEVER had 3 bigs good enough to play at the same time. His best team in 04 started 3 guards with 6´4 Gabe Martin playing the 4 and 2 leftovers from the Hanky era splitting time in the post.

Cue Haize

Jeff Meyer. And you have only yourself to blame

Just discovered per the AD site that Coronado´s 18 rebounds was in fact a record for the Vines Center.

(Thanks a lot smart ***) JR was a monster on the defensive glass yesterday. Makes me wonder what we could do if we can get a guy that has his size and rebounding and keep him for four years

JR was a monster on the defensive glass yesterday. He was actually only one off the Division I Liberty record for rebounds in a game and five off the overall Liberty record

You might want to try catching up with what was posted earlier before you hit that submit key captain redundancy. lol

Now that we have busted the bracket, what's next ?

It's a question we all ask. Ha

Why didn't Joel Vander Pol play? I noticed he was in street clothes

He rolled an ankle during half time warmup in the Longwood game. I don´t think it´s too bad. Probably sat him out against Peay to have him as ready as possible for the last 2 conference games. Coronado certainly stepped up and was extremely productive with the extra minutes he got.

olldflame's right...these last two games are extremely important for seeding in the tournament next week.
