Then why release a logo if you can't showcase it when you have a golden opportunity? :D

Exactly. Dump into the bigs draw fouls so you are shooting the Bonus early. Although it looks like the officials are protecting the dribbler and letting more contact go on the shooter.

Agreed on the finishing. If any of our bigs ever becomes consistent finishing around the rim, our offense will improve exponentially. Imagine Coronado with just 2 solid post moves that he finishes consistently to go with his rebounding and defense.

It would benefit LU alot to have (or try) and find a big that was a MAN in the post, from what I see the bigs I see are just a tad bit on the soft side. Someone that is a physical type, even it that person was'nt a 5 their 3 or 4 needs to be more of a banger, too much of PERIMETER type team.

I am finally able to tune into the game... This Sunday morning start time stinks. I am in ministry and I live in the West. So, I'm two hrs behind this EST start time.

Glad to finally be aboard this morning. Church is done and I can now enjoy the CHAMPIONSHIP GAME. Go Flames! Watching from Ogden, Utah.

Coronado is a man in the post, he's just got no touch under any circumstances. I'd love to see a tally on how many layups he's missed this season.

Maybe they're saving it for the Big Dance!
Which would be what I suspect they will do.
I suspect that as well because I dont think whoever did the last warmups would be able to turn out warmups for the entire team in a couple days. By the time the opening round game rolls around, itll have been about two weeks which should be enough time to get some done if they are needed

As far as the game...Speaks hits one at the horn and Liberty leads 35-34 at halftime

We are not moving our feet on defense and getting called for too many fouls. I know haize won't agree, but I don't really care.:) I believe JC should be penetrating a little bit more and drawing some fouls, the refs seem to be calling it pretty tight today.

Burrus was the only guy on the roster that plays like a man inside and has the touch and presence to score. Coronado has the tenacity and fierceness, he just doesn't have the hands. Gielo is a face up finesse shooter. JVP can be in spots but his shot is easy to block. Sommy is nothing more than a defensive presence. Andrew is a great leaper and highlight reel type player with energy but that's it at this point. Laphonse has done his homework, really impressed with his analysis so far.

I wasn't a fan of the new logo but it looks good on TV, i was pleasantly surprised.

I agree we need to penetrate more. I dont care who it is. :D That is the game the officials are calling and we should take advantage of it. I like the way our other guards are penetrating as well. I have no problem with him penetrating today....provided he does something once he gets there.
