Liberty seems to play with a 7 man rotation and even their subs don't really score it that much. Translation..... drive the lane and get to the line! Get them in foul trouble so they have to rotate guys in as they are not deep at all. This is where our depth will destroy them.

We have size on them all day... probably like a lot of their past opponents. They are going to shoot outside. They shoot 40% from 3, so they are going to look to shoot the 3 as much as possible.... probably going to shoot at least 30 3's.

Our guards need to play out on them... make Liberty beat us inside.


Goodguys 68
Jerry Falwell's Disciples 63
 
I guess it will depend which team shows up. We've been Jekell and Hyde over the last few games. What we need is a combination of brains and brawn for a change. Let's have a game plan and stick to it until it needs changing, and then change it. Let's play with intensity the entire game, not the first or last five minutes.

And please God, don't let these players do what Dave Paulson's team did in his last CBI game and goof off forcing Tony to bench them because they are embarrassing the program. Especially in front of the loyal customers who have paid their salaries while they were at Mason.

The team we should have been - 68
The team we should crush - 59

Seeing that I don't watch NBA, and never will, saying this doesn't bother me at all, FYI: I Hereby CURSE this man to be drafted by the Wizards!
I started watching the NBA in the days of Willis Reed, Clyde Frazier, Jerry Lucas, Bill Bradley, Earl Monroe, Dave Debusscher, etc.
I stopped watching when when MJ, Patrick Ewing, Larry Bird, Magic Johnson, etc. retired.

Can’t shake the feeling that some of our guys mentally aren’t gonna show up for this game. If we aren’t all in this liberty team is capable of beating us by 20.
I’m in this boat as well. Think this will not go well.

It would be one thing if they played their butts off and lost. They didn't. They expected a cakewalk and mailed it in.
Maybe embarrassment will motivate them?

I'm excited for this game as well as the Women's game on Thursday. Always good to have another home game. Hopefully a good crowd tomorrow.
