Liberty Plays Defense

[confucius say]

So apparently they are top 5 in the country giving up only 60 points a game. I'm guessing slow tempo. They also flop a lot and get charges called often per Brandon Walker. I know that one flop in their conference tourney game that went viral was egregious. That dude should be suspended

Was that the guy who looked like he was trying out for the WWE? Elbow missed him but he threw himself on the ground and rolled around like a latin soccer player?

We will roll these scrubs

In their losses to Alabama, Georgetown, and Vandy they let the tempo get sped up. I feel like even if they are able to slow it down we can get 2 to 3 shots almost every possession. Their tallest player is 6'8. Holman, Perry, and Ado are 6'10, 6'10, and 6'11. We should have 15-20 offensive rebounds in this one and pull away in the last 10-12 minutes.

How well do they defend the 3pt shot? That’s our offense.

One of those players you listed is Aric Holman. So take at least 5 of those rebounds off the table.

I wasn't. That was just counting Perry and Ado. The way Perry held his own against Williams and Schofield, he should dominate the guy from Liberty

[Saltydog]

They're the under dog so they'll get some calls they shouldn't. Q might foul out in the first half if they call the flop.

[Ari Gold]

Doesn’t matter who we are playing.. the mentally is the same
Win and advance...

They are 5th in the country in slow tempo. Their actual defensive ranking (89th) isn't awful, but it would rank 13th in the SEC. Their low points allowed total is mostly due to tempo and soft schedule.
