They didn't wear us down we just reverted to standing around watching McGhee play hero ball like last season instead of our normal offense. The defense was ultimately what hurt us though.stokesjokes wrote: ↑February 16th, 2023, 10:15 pm It’s not like we lost because they were playing physical.

I though I heard the announcer mentioned the crowd of 3,000 a couple times. But agree, they played a good game and their crowd was into it. Good for them after what they have endured the last few years.FlamesHighontheTide wrote: ↑February 16th, 2023, 9:49 pm KSU plays like a bunch of thugs.

He also earned a starting spot as a freshman and has been a big part of our success this year.Exactly. They game planned him and it worked. He’s gonna/gotta learn to deal with it

We win this game by 14 or more.I appreciate the optimism, I think there's a very real chance that we smoke them, and I think it's also our best chance. We've had some games where our offense just flows incredibly, which sets our defense up well and we coast.
I don't trust us in a close game, and I think we lose this one if we let it be close. We haven't proven to be great in crunch time, lots of stagnant offense and hero ball in close games. the only exception this year was the last game vs EKU, maybe that shows us turning a corner, but they're obviously more comfortable in those situations than we are.

I think he will be one of the best PG in Liberty history when all is said and done.
