Liberty

Kevin McNeill's weekly 5 Things column breaks down what's important in the world of college basketball.

 

This week, we learned that...

 

Editor's Early Preview (12/15):

Curry the younger, Steph, leads a Liberty program that is poised for bigger and better things in the coming few seasons. The Flames almost knocked off Clemson on the road, so they won't be intimidated by a trip to Saint Louis. Billikens games can be hard to watch for non-fans, and they're best hope is that they bore the opposition to sleep.

Full preview from the GameNight staff coming soon!

Clip of the Day

20 Random Rants, Thoughts, and Observations from the Week in College Basketball by CollegeHoops.net Editor Shawn Siegel:

1 - This has unexpectedly become a weekly thing, so except 20 more random rants every Tuesday from now on.

2 - There's another Curry on the lose. Steph's brother Seth is quietly emerging as the star of an upstart Liberty squad that is 5-1. The Flames already have a win over Virginia, and just won an OT game against a quality George Mason side. Curry is already averaging 22 ppg.. as a freshman.

Duke or Carolina? BC or UMASS? Gonzaga or Washington.. or Washington State? What is the best program in each state? While there's not much competition in Hawaii.. there are great debates to be had in loaded regions like California, North Carolina, and Texas. The State of '08 is a ranking of every program in every state..
