Live scores from the Furman and Liberty DI Men's Basketball game, including box scores, individual and team statistics and play-by-play. Seriously impressive 2nd half by Liberty. Every bit worth a 14 point ein. This might be the most balanced team Ritchie McKay has had. yep and pegues scores 20 all in the 2nd H. crazy. Lots of missed layups and bad passes inside. Dins should liberty vs furman been up by 10 after 1st H. Liberty Flames - Furman Paladins game starts on Nov 17, at AM UTC. Follow the game on Sofascore with live scores and statistics.
Coach Johnson said Hughey may play tomorrow. Thought he was going to play tonight but decided to hold him out. I thought the effort was good tonight but Liberty exposed some weaknesses we have especially without Hughey and Williams in the lineup. Our defense was not very good as Liberty wore us out on the dribble drive and kickout. They hit everything they shot in the second half partly because they were getting easy shots.
The other part was blind luck. On offense we didn't shoot the ball well except for Foster and Pegues and they can't do it all. PJ's shots weren't going in but give the guy a break, it's only his third game. I think he will be fine after he gets a few more games behind him. These early season tournament games are important to learn from to get better. Remember we lost several early last year.
Liberty committed eight turnovers while forcing 12 Furman miscues. The Flames held an edge in points off turnovers and advantage in points in the paint. I have an unbelievable amount of respect for Furman Head Coach Bob Richey, their staff and what they've done as a program. They are really good. It felt like we had a really good win tonight.
I think we have a chance to keep improving because of the quality of the opponent. I think we were really tested. Liberty vs furman Brody Peebles scored seven of those 11 points, punctuated by a corner three with three seconds left to push the lead to five heading to the locker room. The Flames scored nine of the first 11 points over the first of the second half to close out a run and build a lead.
Kyle Rode scored four points in that early spurt, with his layup giving Liberty the point lead with remaining. Furman trimmed the Liberty lead to nine, , with on the clock before a Flames bumped the lead up to Kaden Metheny scored five points in that span, and his three-pointer at the mark bumped lead to Zander Yates scored seven points and knocked down 4-of-4 free throws.
Shiloh Robinson finished with six points, and Gabriel McKay had three. Well that was not what anyone was expecting. Roundball , dornb liked this. Offensively some other guys need to get in the mix. I really saw little movement in our offense compared to Liberty. Hien, Vanderwal, and PJ not on the target. Trust that CBR will make adjustments.
We also got very few O rebounds against a smaller team. Coach Johnson said Hughey may play tomorrow. Thought he was going to play tonight but decided to hold him out. I thought the effort was good tonight but Liberty exposed some weaknesses we have especially without Hughey and Williams in the lineup.
Our defense was not very good as Liberty wore us out on the dribble drive and kickout.
