Liberty

[lvocd]

Looks like they regularly start a redshirt senior, two seniors and two sophomores. Their guards are small but they can score, and their post is 6'6". Duke beat them 83-67.

We can kill this thread once the game thread is posted, but I'm curious if anyone has seen them this year. Liberty is usually pretty tough. They gave us Keyen Green!!!

FYI: I found two of Liberty's three games from this year on ON DEMAND on ESPN+. They're scrappy!

I think they are a decent mid major team. I still expect us to win by at least 25 points on Saturday. I am looking at Tennessee 95 to 65 in this game. Will be considered a Quad three game probably where it will stay as I doubt they will be a top 75 team and don't expect them to fall below 160.

LVs 105--Liberty 60. GBO.

I hope y'all are right and we spank them, but I'm going conservative and thinking 89-67.

Certainly all depends on how we shoot the ball. They are not as good as MTSU and we win that game by 25 if we just shoot 5 to 6 percent better. If we shoot say 41 percent 20 to 25 looks about right. All about shooting.

Don't think Lib will do as well as Middle; they don't have Rick Insell on the sideline.

I'm most interested in the "fitness" issue. CKC seemed majorly peeved that she had to roll back the press due to fatigue. She mentioned it had an affect on offense also. I'll bet an actual fire has been lit under some hineys and they're going to attack Lib unmercifully.

I'm curious if early fatigue is common in her style of play, one of the things she said made Novembers bleak for her teams. Maybe I'm wrong, maybe legs really do get stronger, more in "game shape" as the season goes on. I've always thought it was opposite. So I wonder if this is expected or a concern.

LVs by 30. Next game in 10 days. One more tea party against Western Carolina and then the real fun starts. Can't wait to see this team get out there in the tall grass and see what happens. I think by then they'll be ready as they'll ever be.
