I actually like our chances against Liberty. I think we have gotten a bit better with the big kid getting some pt lately and guard play has improved. Liberty on a neutral court. Yeah, I think we can get this one. Then another win in game six over FIU. I hope. JVS may be extra tough in Alabama.
By that time, the Miners will be feeling froggy and might just jump an unsuspecting opponent. I still see the world through orange tinted glasses.
