[givemethemic]

Well the girls have the day off and we will be practicing at 7 tomorrow night. Any of you guys coming to the game? I will have Dad aka The Great One, Scar with me doing the game. I am interested to see how we bounce back after Monday night in Chapel Hill.

[ATrain]

Maybe, maybe not...it depends on if I wanna drive from Farmville to Lynchburg or not

[SCAR]

Alright guys don't forget to tune in tomorrow for the Liberty Lady Flames on FTN (Webcasting) and you can listen to gmtm and me on the flamessports.com website. Who knows, if the game gets out of hand I may have to say hello to a few of you. Medic I stil have to shout out you and Sly when I get on TV Dec 6th vs Buffalo!

[PAmedic]

darn right brother. and we will be listening, Christmas card and pen in hand

[Stevev]

Up by 21 with 4:10 to go. FT % is 90%. Frazee's, Moriah and Megan doing well.

[Sly Fox]

We won 73-56. We're clearly starting to find our identity with all these new faces.

[thesportscritic]

Still got to clean up the turnovers though. If we have about 10 turnovers a game that would add about 15 points on the scoreboard on a given night. This team right now is not maximizing their possesions on offense. I think the team is still trying to feel each other out on offense.

Here's the recap from Sunday's fishwrap:

Flames rebound after suffering lopsided defeat

The Liberty University women’s basketball team eventually expunged the bad taste left in their mouths from North Carolina’s 87-36 dismantling of the Flames in Chapel Hill on Monday by defeating William & Mary 73-56 in Vines Center.

The first five minutes, however, must have seemed like a cruel replay of Monday loss as the Tribe (2-2) ran out to an 9-1 lead in the first five minutes.

“(William & Mary) came out with a lot more enthusiasm and we came out dead,” Liberty coach Carey Green said. “We just weren’t ready to play.”

The Flames responded with freshman forwards, Moriah and Megan Frazee.

Trailing 9-5, Moriah Frazee came off the bench and scored five straight points give LU a 10-9 lead.

“Moriah did an excellent job tonight,” Green said. “She was challenged to get on the boards and she did. She worked inside really, really well.”

Moriah Frazee said, “I just wanted to go out and play hard.

“Coach Green said he wanted me to get a few more offensive boards so that was something I concentrated on,”

Megan Frazee then took over the game for Liberty. Over the last nine minutes of the first half she led the Flames on a 22-6 run. She had 11 points, five rebounds, three assists and a block as Liberty took a 36-22 lead into the break.

“Megan continues to improve every day in practice and in the games,” Green said. “She’s very talented and is clearly establishing herself as a good Division I basketball player.”

The Flames maintained a lead of at least eight points through out the second half cruising to the 17-point win over the Tribe (2-2).

“We are a team that won four games last year and were trying to gain some confidence,” William & Mary coach Debbie Taylor said. “When things go well we are fine but when things go wrong its like night and day.”

Moriah Frazee finished with 15 points and six rebounds. Megan Frazee had her third double-double in three games.

She led all scorers with 22 points.

Megan Frazee also had 12 rebounds, five assists, a steal and a block.

Liberty dominated the Tribe on the boards 54-28.

“We got out rebounded by 26 and that was the story of the game,” Taylor said. “We didn’t execute in the half court and didn’t rebound.”

All 14 LU players that played had at least one rebound and seven players had at least three rebounds.

The Flames are definitely feeling better about themselves after the thrashing they took at Chapel Hill.

“We didn’t come out and play the way we wanted against North Carolina,” Megan Frazee said.

“It was definitely a good win for us coming off the Carolina loss.”

“It was pretty important (to get this win) for team morale,” Moriah Frazee said.

Megan and Moriah Frazee Lead the Way for Liberty

November 26, 2005 · Lynchburg, Va.

Megan and Moriah Frazee combined for 37 of the Liberty’s 73 points as they led the Lady Flames to 73-56 victory over William and Mary Saturday evening in the Vines Center.

William & Mary (2-2) took advantage of several early turnovers as the Lady Flames committed five giveaways in the first five minutes of the game, enabling the Tribe to jump out to an eight-point lead as a jumper by Devin James gave the visitors a 9-1 lead with 14:53 left to play in the first half.

However, Liberty (2-1) quickly responded and took over the lead as the Lady Flames scored 11-straight points as Roli-Ann Nikagbatse (So., G/F, Berlin, Germany) stole a pass a mid-court and connected on a fast-break lay-up to give Liberty a 12-9 lead at the 10:57 mark.

The two teams traded baskets back and forth over the next several minutes with a pair of free throws by Megan Frazee (Fr., G/F, Xenia, Ohio) putting the Lady Flames up four, 20-16, while a jumper by Kyra Kaylor trimmed the lead back to three points, 22-19, at the 6:16 mark.

However, that would be the last time that the Tribe would score until the waning seconds of the period as Liberty put together a 14-0 run to push its lead to 17 points before Lizzie Schiel knocked down a three-pointer with nine seconds left before halftime to cut Liberty’s halftime margin to 14 points, 36-22.

The Lady Flames maintained their lead over the first three minutes of the second half as a pair of free throws by Moriah Frazee (Fr., G/F, Xenia, Ohio) gave the Lady Flames a 16-point lead, 42-26, at the 17:21 mark. But William & Mary scored eight-straight points to cut the lead in half on a three-pointer by Kaylor.

But that would be the closest that the Tribe would get over the remainder of the game as the Lady Flames responded with a 16-4 run to open up a 20-point lead and cruise to the non-conference victory.

For the third time in as many games, Megan Frazee recorded a double-double, leading the way for Liberty with a game-high 22 points and 12 rebounds, while going 10-of-12 from the free throw line. Moriah Frazee was perfect from the charity stripe as she knocked down seven free throws and posted a season-high 15 points.

For the Tribe, Kaylor posted a double-double 15 points and 10 rebounds, while Schiel scored 10 points on 3-of-11 shooting.

The Lady Flames dominated the glass, outrebounding William and Mary by 26 (54 to 28), while collecting a season-high 23 offensive boards.

Liberty will take a week off before heading to Raleigh, N.C., to participate in the N.C. State Tournament. The Lady Flames take on Southern Miss on December 3 at 3 p.m.

Did you hear Scar's shoutout to PAMedic and Slyfox during the W&M game? Scar, will you give a shoutout to jimflamesfan as well sometime?

[thesportscritic]

Yeah SCAR give me a shout out too eventhough I am at all of the home games with a radio listening to the game while I am there. I heard the shoutouts to PAmedic and SLY FOX.

[PAmedic]

you gotta earn it pal. Oh, and SCAR- still waiting for somebody to post that mp3 archive link for me/SLY to hear our world-famous shout out. (GMTM/FSN?)

[PAmedic]

maybe SCAR pimpin' the board is why we're averaging 20+ guests a night now.

either that or he's figured out a way to score a buck for every AOL user logging on here.

[thesportscritic]

It is official this thread has been partially hijacked.

[jimflamesfan]

PAmedic/Scar...how do I earn a shoutout...how about if I come up from Halifax to a game with my hair died red (of course not during the Radford game)?

[PAmedic]

you're in Nova Scotia?

[PAmedic]

and nothing partial about the hijacking- FULLY 'jacked.

[SCAR]

Since this thread is hijacked I will continue. Sportscritic, I should have given you a shout the other night. You guys that all want shouts will have to wait until I am on TV next week ( Tuesday). I don't really do much radio. However you do have other friends on here that can take care of you (gmtm fsn32 for example). I go way back with my boy Medic and Sly and I have been communicating in cyber space for about 3 years off and on so I had to hook them up. Plus I promised. Anyway, TV is a little tougher for shouts unless we get into "filler time." BTW Medic, Jimflamesfan is in Halifax VA and yes I do get a buck for each one that logs on with AOL (KIDDING!). Seriously I hope a lot of you guys tune into the webcast of the TV production on Tuesday Dec 6th. Who knows, there could be some more shouts! Also, I think that shout out the other night came at the post game and not half time... I remember handing my headset to coach Green after I did it so it must have been at the end.

[givemethemic]

Don't kill me but after talking to FSN32 for some really strange reason and of course this makes me look bad, but the game did not get recorded. I goofed up on our high-tech mp3 recorder and it didn't get saved. We will be at NC.ST this weekend and I am sure that I can give a few shoutouts, hopefully our good buddy FSN32 will not kill me.

[ATrain]

Scar, would an article on the Flames Television Network be worthy of a shout-out? If so, I may just write one next semester.

ooooooooooooohhhhhhh nooooooooooo!

50 lashes all around- we cannot tolerate this level of incompetence in such a CRITICAL area as taping games for us old hags. LOL

no Christmas card for SCAR until I have some audio.

[SCAR]

Come on Medic, I earned that card man. You are killing me gmtm. A Train, if you sit in the right section in the Vines on Tuesday you may make the telecast. You know how we show the crowd during timeouts. Ok, your bribe may just work with that FTN article dangling over me :-). As long as the angle is about a talented point guard turned color commentator (Kidding of course).

[ATrain]

Hmm, if we ever do an article over FTN I'll see what I can do about the talented point guard becoming color commentator...the only question is, where do I find one of those? (jk)

[givemethemic]

Great line A-Train, Scar needs to be humbled every once in a while

[givemethemic]

Nah, I can't be mean to Scar, he is like my second Dad. Got to much love for you Dad even if you do turn 50 next week.

[SCAR]

50?! WoW! I must have fallen asleep and missed a few years....Good line A-Train. Gmtm, you can't be co-signing or I will have to ban you from getting any more cookies LOL.

[Sly Fox]

Humbling Scar is my job.

[SCAR]

Yes Sly you certain keep me straight. I can't slip anything past you man!
