Game 5 NC.ST

[givemethemic]

The Flames won today 71-60 over Southern Miss and will play NC.ST around 3:15 on Sunday. Should be a good test for the flames. I think they flames played there best game today, when you look at what they did defensively and on the boards.

[The U]

givemethemic ... just wanted to say that i heard you on the radio today and i think you're a complete tool ... you used the word "extensively" way too many times ... was this the first game you've ever called, b/c it sure sounded like it ... please givemethemic so i don't have to hear you anymore!!

[The U]

you also used the word "immensely " alot too ...

[givemethemic]

Quick question for The U are you guys playing right now? O I can answer that, NO. I know who The U is and he is being a moron as always.

NC State received 11 votes in the latest Top 25 poll...it'll be intersting. GO LU

[Sly Fox]

Everybody's a critic.

[Stevev]

Hopefully we can hang in there or maybe pull off an upset. We could be past that "breaking in" period considering the teams youth.

[The U]

Sly ... not a critic, just a joke between givemethemic and myself

The Tripps got in foul trouble...thats all i was told, someone who listened will better inform us

[Jarel]

i listened to the game... it was gettign very clumsy at the end for the last 10 minutes

[PAmedic]

young team fellas, young team

overall sounds like a great effort

[krh44]

Two of the tripps got into foul trouble in 2nd half. Great effort to be leading at NC State but still young. Megan was still named MVP, 54 pts in two games.

[Stevev]

NC State is a great team. Nothing to be ashamed of with the effort put forth. Part of the growing up process.

[thesportscritic]

This young team proved that they can play with ACC schools. Eventhough the results were not what we wanted. They fought hard the entire game against a good NC State team. As Stevev said part of the growing up process. They just have to have those killer instincts when we get a team down. This team will get better. This game was definitely winnable. Congratulations to Megan who got MVP.

December 4, 2005 · Raleigh, N.C.

Freshman and tournament MVP Megan Frazee led all players with 29 points as the Liberty Lady Flames led by as many as 13 in the first half and 11 in the second half, only to have the North Carolina State Wolfpack rally with a run of their own in the second half, lifting N.C. State to an 83-69 victory over the Lady Flames to claim the championship trophy of its own tournament, Sunday afternoon at Reynolds Coliseum.

Visiting Liberty jumped out to a nine-point lead just five minutes into the game and eventually extended to 13 with nine minutes to go in the first half. Forcing three N.C. State turnovers early,the Flames built a point cushion early on.

In a game of runs, the Wolfpack used a 15-2 run over a span of seven minutes to take its first lead of the contest. Senior Billie McDowell, hit her first of the game to close out the run and give N.C. State the lead at 36-33 with just under two minutes left in the half.

Liberty regained the lead at the end of the half behind three free throws from freshman Moriah Frazee (F, Xenia, Ohio). Her effort gave the Lady Flames a 37-36 advantage at intermission. Megan Frazee (F, Xenia, Ohio) led all scorers with 15 points at half.

Liberty scored all of its points in the opening four minutes of the
second half using five three-pointers, which included three from Megan
Frazee.

N.C. State junior Marquetta thingyens ended the Liberty offensive strike with a jumper with 15:36 to go to cut the lead to nine, 56-47.

Behind Tiffany Stansbury , who scored 15 points in the second half, the Wolfpack then went on an 11-0 run to tie the game at 56 with 11:41 left. Junior Keisha Brown had a jumper, a steal and a deflection to pace the Pack's offense and defense during the run.

After a couple of easy baskets from Liberty, NC State broke away for good when Stansbury hit a pair of free throws at the 9:17 mark. Brown hit a lay up at 5:42 to give the Pack the field goal it needed to wrap up the tournament championship.

The win pushes the Pack to 5-2 on the year, while Liberty drops to 3-2.
