Woooo LU holds on to win 83 80

85-80 actually but still a very good win taking down VMI in their house.

Refreshing to hear from some other kid. Smith & JR were the players of the game.

[Chris Lang]

Talked to JR, saved his stuff for the follow-up post tomorrow. Spoke to Marshall because I wanted a guard perspective on how they slowed Peterson.

How did playing fast workout for VMI today, BSKing?

[flameshaw]

Good win, happy for the guys.

I would say you aren't going to win a lot of games in college giving up 85 points.

Again Lang? I'm flattered

The Flames moved the basketball without dribbling the air out of it

Very nice win at a hard place to win. Sounds like Smith had a nice dunk on Covington, anyone see it or know if there is footage somewhere?

JR ate his "Wheaties" today fo sho!

[TIMSCAR20]

That was a really nasty dunk in person! My favorite part about the video is Alan York Jumping up as he is calling the play! I hope it makes #SCTop10.

:I chortle audibly.: I would say you aren't going to win a lot of games in college giving up 85 points.

Well obviously they missed a 3 to force OT, but besides that defensive rebounding is why VMI lost... This whole fast/pace thread debate started when PH said Defense wins championships, I don't agree. Whether you score 85-80 or 55-50; team that scores the most wins... VMI was outmanned under the boards, cause LU offense missed a lot shots if you understand how to read the box.... My point in Radford thread was LU isn't going to win many on the road scoring 62 points..

2 points today to make;

ESPN reporter Merril Hodge 'QB's & defenses don't win championships, teams win championships'
CBS Clark Kellogg at end of Iowa win over Ohio St 'offensive execution & shot making is how you win on the road'

You said 62 points won't win games in the Big South (edited ). I pointed out that you were wrong. I further pointed out which conferences 62 points would win games including the Big South. NOW you say 50-55 points can win you a game basically destroying your original assertion. Your other statements are auxiliary to the point because it's been proven, and affirmed by yourself, that your original statement was grossly in error.
I'm sure CIDER has a fancy pants Debate Term for it

Purple, I could give you a Marshall-sized word, but I'd have to charge you tuition (and you still wouldn't understand it).

Great line from the VMI message board: "We should paint a giant red cross on top of barracks. Lexington is where all sick teams come to get well."

A frustrated and unhappy Duggar was a quotation machine in his post-game interview:

"no battle inside, them getting all those off. boards is a joke". "Post players not in the game mentally, to allow Coronado to get a career high in points". "Rodney the only one mentally ready to play". "no mental toughness to miss all those FT's". "their starting front line getting 41 points total not expected, but we allowed that".

I said 62 points isn't going to win games on the road in Big South.... Half of my post you take out context to turn them your way when I am replying to some other poster.. For every game you say defense wins, I can also prove that offense won the game.

VMI went 8-14 at FT line, did LU guard the free throw shooter?

If LU scored 62 yesterday they would have lost by 18.... In some games you have to score in order to win at places like VMI, Radford, CSU, UNCA, and now the new Winthrop.

Go ahead PH, I'm done tho. You are the message board king, I should change my last name!

This is your EXACT quote. It says nothing about "the road'

Purple Haize, I mean John Wooden-- 62 points isn't beating anyone in the Big Suck....you get 4 guys in double figures you should be around 75. ---

And your assertion about scoring 62 and losing yesterday is illogical. If LU scored 62 and held VMI to 61, LU would have won.

[Bigsouthking]

Okay you win bro.... Where do you coach so I can send my little cousin to play for you?

At the end of the year lets see how many teams win by scoring a minimum of 62 points in the Big South in conference games only?? So far none...

Liberty couldn't score last year, they finished with 10 wins, 5th place. Those are facts!

Tournament there scoring went up and they won 4 straight..... What more do I need to type.

It takes a big man to realize they got their so

How old is your cousin? I'll see if I can get him on an Upward team

I thought Purple--like RD--was a GIRL's coach.

ESPN Jay Bilas during Duke-UVA game "Virginia is getting open shots there just not making them. On the road you have to make shots."

My cousin is a 6'2 female.
