It will be interesting as to how many fans show up.I have no idea, but it's women's basketball, and despite the revisionist historians here, even in their glory days in the early 2000s, our WBB team has never drawn close to what the men did/do. The beauty of the new arena is that whatever the number, it will be a much better atmosphere than in the Vines. 2500 would be awesome, but I'm not sure there will be enough buzz yet about the ladies fast start to draw that, and you aren't likely to have a bunch of Hokie fans show up like they have for the men.

Same for girl who went to Tennessee.After watching the game last night in person - we are much better then I thought we would be. I'm not sure Lytle left because she wanted to play elsewhere - I think she saw the writing on the wall - there's a bunch of talent on our team and height. I think both transfers might have been force-outs, where they were told not to expect same playing time.

The most people I remember ever showing up for our Lady Flames - at least at the Vines Center - was a snowy CFAW weekend when the rest of Lynchburg closed down.ballcoach15 wrote: ↑December 6th, 2021, 9:10 am Liberty hosts VT Tuesday at the arena.

I've heard there's still anger that an assistant coach didn't get HC job when Coach Green was hired

Or are you just spreading more lies and falsehoods from your notoriously unreliable “sources”? If you don’t have the guts to name names then keep your mouth shut.
