Some smaller conference tournaments have already begun. For example, my hometown Liberty Flames won their Big South Tourney opening round match-up last night in the Vines Center verses Gardner-Webb. They led by as much 20 in the game only to have the Bullgogs close it to only a 3 point lead with about a minute to play. In the end the LU Cardiac Kids pulled it out with an 88-77 win thanks in large part to Seth Curry pouring in 30 while his famous Father and Brother looked on. Kyle Ohman was huge in the first half and ended the game with 18, and Anthony Smith contributed quietly with 16. Tyler Baker was perfect on the night (4-4 from the field and 6-6 from the line) with 14 points and 6 boards. Freshman Jesse Sanders was back in the lineup after missing 2 games with an ankle injury. They Flames will take on VMI in Radford's Dedmon center on Thursday. The Flames and Keydets split the season series with the away team blowing out the home team in both games. The Keydets embarrased LU by fourty in the Vines Center just last week. It should be interesting.
I get so excited this time of year. Selection Sunday is just over a week away and the Big Dance will start 2 weeks from tomorrow. One of the things I love is bracket contests. I always get together a group for ESPNs contest and will again this year. Another good one I will participate in this year is hosted BY ABC13 WSET at WSET.com. Check it out (http://cfc.wset.com/brackets.cfm). It's free, and there are even prizes. Have fun.
That's what's rolling around in the DOME for now!
