HEAD COACH RITCHIE McKAY
Ritchie McKay was named
the seventh men’s basketball head coach on March
26, 2007.
Liberty marks McKay’s fifth
head coaching stint, and his
first east of the Mississippi,
after stops in the Big Sky,
Mountain West, Pac-10 and WAC conferences.
McKay, 42, comes to Liberty from New
Mexico, where he spent five seasons at the
helm of the Lobos’ basketball program
(2003-07), highlighted by a Mountain West
Conference (MWC) championship in 2005.
With a 26-7 record, the conference championship earned New Mexico its first NCAA
Tournament appearance in six years and
the program’s first conference title since
1996.
Overall at New Mexico, McKay sported an
82-69 coaching record over five seasons,
including the 2005 campaign, where the
team’s 26 victories were the second-highest total in program’s 103-year history.
McKay posted a 37-23 record (.627) at
Colorado State, which included a 1999
National Invitational Tournament (NIT)
berth. The Rams defeated Mississippi State
and in-state rival Colorado at the event,
before losing to eventual NIT Tournament
champion California.
The 1999-2000 season featured the first
year of play for CSU in the Mountain West
Conference, and the Rams logged an 1812 record and a fourth-place conference
finish.
A pair of victories over nationally-ranked
opponents - the first time the program had
accomplished the feat at Colorado State in
a decade - and capturing the title at the
second annual Pearl Harbor Classic in
Hawaii were some of the highlights during
the season. College Hoops Insider magazine noticed the success of the 2000 Rams
and tabbed McKay as its MWC Coach of
the Year.
Before arriving on the Colorado State campus, McKay began his head coaching
career when he was named the head
coach at Portland State. McKay started with
the Vikings in 1995, helping revive a program which had been dormant for 15
years. McKay led the program to nine victories in the school's first season of competition (1996-97) since the early 1980s.
After the initial season at Portland State,
McKay was named one of six finalists for
the Clair Bee Award, given annually to the
coach with the most influence and innovation in the game of basketball. Two other
finalists for the honor that year were Dean
Smith of North Carolina and Mike
Krzyzewski of Duke. The 1997-98 Portland
State team followed with a 15-12 mark and
a third-place finish in the Big Sky
Conference.
Game Preview
Liberty will play its fifth contest away from home when they take on
Kentucky. Tip is set for 7 p.m., inside famed Rupp Arena.
The game will mark Liberty’s sixth game in the last 13 days.
Saturday’s contest will air on the Flames Sports Network (flagship WRVL
88.3 FM) with Jerry Edwards providing play-by-play. Additionally, an
Internet audio broadcast on LibertyFlames.com will be available. A television broadcast can be seen on Fox Sports Net - South with Dave Baker
providing play-by-play, Kyle Macy serving as the analyst and Rob
Bromley working the sideline.
Liberty Update
Liberty enters tonight’s game coming off an exciting 55-53 triumph at East
Carolina, Saturday night. Alex McLean laid in a TeeJay Bannister miss
with eight-tenths of a second left on the clock, lifiting the Flames over the
Pirates for the second-straight season. B.J. Jenkins tallied a career-best
22 points, including 18 in the second half to pace the victors.
Libert won its home opener 64-49 victory over Coker, on Nov. 13. Anthony
Smith collected his third career double-double with 16 points and a
career-high 11 rebounds. Kyle Ohman scored a career-best 15 points,
while Alex McLean chipped in 15 points in the win.

Packing Them In
When Liberty last played in the Rupp Arena, 22,717 fans attended the

in the USAir Arena in Landover, Md.
McKay vs. Gillispie
Tonight’s game marks the first time Ritchie McKay and Billy Gillispie
have faced each other on the court as head coaches. Their respective
teams have met twice before. When McKay was the head coach at
Colorado State, he faced Tulsa twice in Western Athletic Conference
action. Both contests occurred during the 1998-99 season. Gillispie
served as an assistant coach for that Tulsa team. McKay’s team won
its home contest, 71-64. The Golden Hurricane topped McKay and
company in Tulsa, 74-62.
Current Liberty assistant coaches Dale Layer and Brad Soucie were
also assistants under McKay on that Colorado State staff.
The Liberty/Kentucky Connection
Kentucky’s Director of Athletics Mitch Barnhart served as the AD at
Oregon State prior his hire in Lexington. Barnhart hired Liberty men’s
head basketball coach Ritchie McKay in 2000 at Oregon State to run the
Beavers program. Barnhart and McKay both left Corvallis in 2002.
Barnhart took his current position at Kentucky and McKay left for the
head coaching position at New Mexico. The two remain good friends.
Liberty guard Justin Holland was high school teammates with former
Kentucky Wildcat, Randolph Morris. Holland and Morris both attended
Landmark Christian Academy in Atlanta, Ga.

Flames Facing New Foes This Year
Liberty's season opener against San Diego State was the first game of
four this season versus an opponent that Liberty had never previously
faced. In addition to the Aztecs, Liberty’s non-conference schedule pits
the Flames up against Portland, Coker and Nyack, all first-time Liberty
opponents on the hardwood.
Anthony Smith on Verge of 700-Career Points
Junior Anthony Smith became the 35th player in Liberty history to score
600 career points when he tallied 14 points at VMI on Feb. 21, 2007.

to reach the 700-point plateau.

Kyle Ohman Stepping Up
Sophmore Kyle Ohman has scored 34 points through the Flames’ first
four games this season. Last year, Ohman only scored eight points during Liberty’s 31 total games. Ohman was held scoreless in Liberty’s win
over East Carolina on Saturday.
Alex McLean Grabbing the Boards
Senior Alex McLean grabbed 8.9 rebounds per game last season. The
figure was the best rebounding season by a Flame since Jason Dixon
grabbed 9.0 caroms per contest during the 1995 campaign.
Playing Sweet Music
Senior Alex McLean did not play basketball in high school. Standing only
at 6-2 as a high school senior, the Bay Shore, N.Y., native played bass,
piano and drums in the school band. McLean is a concert bassist who
turned down the opportunity to study music at numerous schools on
scholarship, including Cal-Berkley and Hofstra, as well as, receiving
interest from Julliard, in favor of basketball.
Anthony Smith Chosen to Honor a Visionary
Junior Anthony Smith was one of 10 student-athletes who served as an
honorary pallbearer for the late Liberty University Founder and
Chancellor, Dr. Jerry Falwell. Ten Liberty University student-athletes
served as honorable pallbearers at the May 22 funeral, reflecting on Dr.
Falwell’s love for athletics.
Road Woes
The Flames have lost 26 of their last 30 road games, dating back to the
start of the 2005-06 season. Three of the wins during that span came last
season. A 66-63 victory at Charleston Southern on Jan. 22, a 118-108
victory at VMI on Feb. 21 and a 64-48 win at Radford on Feb. 24. The
victory in Lexington was the Flames first since Dec. 7, 1991, and the win
at Radford was Liberty’s first since Feb. 22, 1997. The fourth road win
was a 55-53 triumph at East Carolina on Saturday.
Tough Neutral Games
Dating back to the 2003-04 season, Liberty is 2-9 in neutral-site games.
Included during that span are appearances in the Great Alaska Shootout,
Arizona’s Fiesta Bowl Classic, the NCAA Tournament, the San Juan
Shootout, the BYU Holiday Classic and Fresno State’s World Vision
Classic.
TeeJay Bannister Named Top Newcomer to the Big South
TeeJay Bannister, a transfer from Virginia, was named by the Sporting
News as the top newcomer in the Big South Conference. This is the second-straight year a member of the Flames has earned such an honor.
Last season, Dwight Brewington, a transfer from Providence, earned the
same accolade from CBS Sportsline.com.
Making the List
Alex McLean was named to the Big South preseason all-conference team in Lindy’s and Athlon
Sports’ publications. McLean averaged 14.5 points per game, while finishing second in the conference with 8.9 rebounds per game, last season.
Anthony Smith joined McLean on the Lindy’s preseason all-conference team. Smith averaged 11.4
points and 3.3 rebounds per game, while being the only member of the team to start every game,
last season.
November Record
Overall, Liberty has posted a 69-67 record in November, including 47-15 at home, 10-37 on the road
and a 12-15 mark at a neutral location, in the 11th month of the year. Since the 2000-01 season,
Ritchie McKay has a 23-10 record in the month of November.
Flames Tabbed to Finish Sixth in Big South
The Liberty Flames were selected to finish sixth out of eight teams in the Big South Conference for
the 2007-08 season, as voted on by the conference’s head coaches, sports information directors
and members of the media.
Liberty is coming off a 14-17 season and a third-place finish in the Big South. The Flames went 8-6
in conference play a year ago, after being picked to finish fifth in last year’s preseason poll.
High Point (216) edged out three-time defending conference champion Winthrop (214) by a narrow
margin to be tabbed preseason favorite to win the conference championship.
The voting panel agreed on the top two choices, but spots three through six were closely bunched.
VMI (147) was picked to finish third, while Coastal Carolina (134 points) was picked to finish in the
fourth position. UNC Asheville (119) found themselves picked fifth, with Liberty (108) in the sixth
position.
Charleston Southern (63) and Radford (43) rounded out the preseason poll.
Alex McLean Scores 500th Career Point
Alex McLean tallied 12 points in Saturday’s win over East Carolina. McLean has now scored 510
points during his Liberty career, making the senior from Bay Shore, N.Y., the 46th player in program
history to reach this milestone.
Foul Trouble
Senior TeeJay Bannister fouled out of the first three games in which he has appeared this season.
Bannister collected four fouls in the only other game he appeared in for Liberty. In the previous 76
career games in which he has appeared, Bannister fouled out only five times. All 76 of those games
were played when Bannister was enrolled at Virginia.
Away From Home
Liberty starts the year playing five of its first six games away from the Vines Center. The last time
the Flames started a season playing five of six games outside of Lynchburg was the 2001-02 season.
That season the Flames played at Vanderbilt, Appalachian State and at the Hawaii Pacific
Thanksgiving Classic. Liberty went 1-5 during that span, on its way to a 5-25 season.
Rell Porter Has Eye on 100 Career Games
Senior Rell Porter has currently played in 94 contests during his Liberty career. The Liberty record is
for games played is 122, set by Larry Blair last year. Should Porter appear in every game this year,
he will reach 120 during the quarterfinal of the Big South Championship, which would place him tied
for second with Karl Hess (1977-1980) and Steve Isaacs (1980-83).
McKay Inks Highly Anticipated Recruiting Class
In his first recruiting class at Liberty, head men’s basketball coach Ritchie McKay and staff have
signed Seth Curry, Brolin Floyd, Sammy Jackson, Mike Lewis, Carter McMasters and Austin Smith
to national letters of intent for the 2008-09 academic year.
“I can’t remember ever having a class like the one we were able to attract our first year at Liberty,”
said McKay, who has been a head coach in the Pac-10, Mountain West, Western Athletic and Big
Sky Conferences.
“Typically it takes a little bit of time to establish yourself in an unfamiliar region of the country,”
added McKay. “What Liberty University offers a student-athlete is really reflected in the caliber
of the individual and the caliber of the player we were able to sign.”
Curry is the son of one of the NBA’s most prolific three-point shooters, Dell Curry. A 6-0 combo guard
from Charlotte, N.C., Curry has been a huge piece to Charlotte Christian’s success over the past few
years. As a junior, Curry averaged 13.0 points, 3.0 rebounds, 3.0 assists and 2.0 steals per game for
a team that had four starters in double figures in scoring.
Last season, Curry shot 50 percent from the field, earning CISAA all-conference honors. In his
three years on the varsity squad, Charlotte Christian has amassed an 83-15 record, reaching
the state final in 2006.
“Seth is a great kid and will make a great impact at Liberty as a freshman under the leadership
and guidance of Coach McKay,” stated Charlotte Christian head coach Shonn Brown. “Liberty
is getting someone special.”
Curry choose Liberty over his father’s alma mater, Virginia Tech, and Davidson, where his
older brother Stephen currently is playing, earning an All-American honors.
“I would have recruited Seth at any level,” said McKay. “He is a versatile guard who has a tremendous future ahead of him. Without question, he will make an immediate impact on our team and program.”
Floyd hails from Ocala, Fla., and plays for Shores Christian School. As a junior, the 6-5, 210-pound
guard, averaged 17.8 points, 6.6 rebounds, 4.5 assists and 3.2 steals, leading Shores Christian to
the NACA National Championship game.
Floyd, a McDonald’s All-America nominee, was MVP of his AAU Florida Elite team, while also
playing for Nike Team Florida during the summer of 2007. In the summer of 2006, Floyd was
the MVP of Running Rattlers AAU squad, which won the State Championship.
“I am excited about him going to Liberty,” said Shores Christian head coach Danny Smith. “He
loves the family atmosphere at Liberty and he loves the relationship he has developed with
Coach McKay.”Floyd chose the Flames over Clemson, Florida State, Miami and Western Kentucky,
among others.
“When you talk about finding a diamond in the rough, you can put a picture next to Brolin’s
name,” stated McKay. “Dale Layer came across Brolin out of obscurity in talent laden Central
Florida.
“I can’t tell you how excited I am that Brolin will be in a Liberty Flames uniform. He has a great
body, size, strength and athleticism and a desire to be great. Along with a few other freshmen,
I anticipate Brolin to have a major immediate impact on our team and program.”
Jackson is a 6-5 forward out of Jacksonville Junior College in Jacksonville, Texas. The
Arlington, Texas native is currently playing his second year of junior college ball, after prepping
at Bowie High School.
As a freshman last season, Jackson averaged 9.1 points and 5.8 rebounds per game, while
shooting 52 percent from the floor and 53 percent from three-point range. Starting 27 games
for Jacksonville, Jackson earned honorable mention all-region honors. Through the first five
game of this season, Jackson is averaging 10.4 points and 6.5 rebounds per game.
“Sammy is a tremendous young man with high character and work ethic,” said Jacksonville
Junior College head coach Greg Young. “He is competitive, tough and I enjoy being around
him. Liberty is a great fit for Sammy and both he and his family are excited about the blessing
of playing for Coach McKay and his staff.”
“Sammy is an undersized forward who has the skill of a guard, but the toughness of a center,
creating one of those match-up nightmares,” said McKay. “Sammy is the only JC player we
recruited, because we wanted to build our program with youth. But we could not pass up on his
maturity, leadership ability and the uniqueness in regards to his attributes. We expect him to
make an immediate contribution.”
Lewis signs with the Flames out of Charis Prep in Goldsboro, N.C., the same prep school
Where Liberty’s Armon Jones spent the 2006 season. Lewis, a 5-7 guard from Upper Marlboro,
Md., was a four-year starter at Suitland, averaging 18.4 points, 7.0 assists and 3.0 steals per
game as a senior. Lewis led Suitland to a 22-5 record as a senior, falling in the regional
championship game to Eleanor Roosevelt, 55-53.
Last season at Charis Prep, Lewis averaged 14.0 points per game, while his assist to turnover
ratio was 3-1.
“I am very pleased Mike is going to continue his academic endeavors at Liberty and his athletic
career under Coach McKay,” said Charis Prep head coach Carlos Peralta. “I know Mike will
benefit greatly from both. Mike is a very good point guard and he will have a great career at
Liberty, helping continue its success on the court.”
“Mike reminds of one those spark plugs on the court,” said McKay. “I couldn’t pass up on him.
Mike is tough, has the ability to shoot, find open guys and stretch the defense. Mike will
become a fan favorite, because his perceived size limitation will be overcome by the size of his
heart and abilities.”
McMasters hails from Chattanooga, Tenn., where he will be a 2008 graduate of Grace
Academy. The 6-11 forward averaged 14.0 points, 11.0 rebounds and 5.0 blocks per game as
a junior at Grace, helping his team to the regional finals. The all-state honoree alters the
game, evident by his 20 shots redirected last season.
“Carter alters the game,” said Grace Academy head coach Jon Mattheiss. “Teams would stop
shooting around him. Liberty has themselves a high-quality player, one who will be even better
at the collegiate level than he has in high school.”
McMasters picked Liberty over Auburn, Chattanooga, Clemson, Kentucky, Michigan, Purdue,
Virginia and Virginia Tech, among other programs.
“When we first got to Liberty, we were told by many that you couldn’t shoot for the stars,” said
McKay. “We felt with our system and the immediate need at Carter’s position, we would hit a
home run by signing him. Carter is a tremendous offensively skilled player with great passing
ability, who can stretch a defense. He is a good shot blocker with great timing. We are elated
to have someone of his caliber be a part of our family, as we help carry this program forward
and establish a tradition.”
Smith, a 6-9 forward from Tucson, Ariz., transferred to Ironwood Ridge from Mountain View.
While at Mountain View as junior, Smith averaged 11.6 points and 6.8 rebounds per game.
Smith picked Liberty after being pursued by Pepperdine, Richmond, San Francisco and
Washington State.
“I have known Austin for a few years and I really trust him,” said McKay. “He has natural ability
and athleticism that our fans will really like. He is skilled, can shoot the ball, has a great work
ethic and the fact we can attract Austin from Tucson to Lynchburg, speaks to Liberty University
and all it has to offer.”
“In all my years of coaching, God’s sovereignty allowed us to get student-athletes to help our
program advance, but also allowed us to help develop these individuals as students, players
and men,” commented McKay.

Game 3
Fresno, Calif.
Liberty fell in its final game of Fresno
State’s World Vision Classic to the Portland
Pilots, 73-62, inside the Save Mart Center.
In a closely play first half, the Pilots held
the advantage on the scoreboard the
majority of the period. The Pilots drew first
blood, taking a quick 4-0 lead after a Luke
Sikma jumper at 17:47. After pushing the
led to 8-4 at the 16:18 mark on another
Sikma basket, Liberty tied the game, 8-8,
for the first time since the opening tip-off,
when TeeJay Bannister scored coming out
of the first media timeout, with 15:17
remaining in the opening stanza. After a
turnover by Portland’s Kramer Knutson,
guard Anthony Smith gave Liberty its first
lead of the contest with a driving lay-up at
14:35, for a 10-8 Flames’ advantage. The
Pilots came roaring back with a 12-3 run, to
take a 20-13 lead, capped by a wide-open
three-point bucket by Nik Raivio at 11:01.
The Flames fought back on the heels of a
13-5 run, cutting the lead to 32-31 with 3:12
remaining. Two Robin Smeulders’ free
throws with 35 seconds left sent the Pilots
into intermission with a 34-31 advantage.
Sloppy play by the Flames, including three
turnovers, helped the Pilots extend its lead
to nine points, 53-44, with 10:58 remaining.
Portland later extended its lead to 63-50 on
a three-point bucket by Jared Stohl, with
7:58 remaining. Liberty was able to trim the
Pilot lead back to nine points, 66-57, on a
Smith layup with 2:32 remaining. It was as
close as the Flames would get in the contest’s closing minutes, as Portland closed
out the game with a double-digit victory, 7362. McLean led the Flames by collecting
his second-straight double-double with 19
points and 10 rebounds.
Game 4
Lynchburg, Va.
After only being back in Lynchburg for
roughly 24 hours, the Liberty Flames
showed no signs of fatigue, as they cruised
to a 64-49 victory over the Coker Cobras,
inside the Vines Center. Due to a canceled
flight on Sunday night in Fresno, following
the Flames’ trip west for Fresno State’s
World Vision Classic, Liberty’s squad was
not fully back home until 6 p.m., on Monday
night. Early in the game, Coker’s Lukas
Varaga picked the pocket of B.J. Jenkins
on the first possession of the contest, leading to a basket to stake Cobras to a quick
2-0 lead. But, the advantage was shortlived as the Flames quickly shifted into
high-gear. Liberty raced to a 22-6 lead,
courtesy of a 22-4 run, capped by an
Anthony Smith bucket at 9:47. The Cobras
halted the run with a three-point basket by
Ryan Fulwood at the 9:32 mark, cutting the
score to 22-9. The Flames cruised down
the court on the next possession, matching
the three-point bucket with a Kyle Ohman
marker at 9:10, pushing the score to 25-9.
Coker temporarily halted the streaking
Flames, going on a 10-2 run, which included three-point buckets by Fulwood and
Blake Terrell. The quick surge was capped
by a Sebastian Lacayo basket in the paint
at 6:12, cutting Liberty’s advantage to
points, 29-19. Both squads went point-forpoint for the final six minutes of the first
stanza. Rell Porter grabbed an offensive
rebound off a Smith miss and stuck it back,
allowing the Flames to enter the intermission with a 41-30 lead. The Flames turned
up the heat on the Cobras exiting halftime,
quickly extending the lead to 53-35, at
13:56 remaining, courtesy of two Ohman
three-point buckets and five-straight points
by Alex McLean. Ohman continued his hot
shooting, hitting two more three-point buckets, pushing the Flames’ lead to 61-42 with
6:06 left in the contest. Coker managed a
7-1 spurt, capped by another Fulwood
three pointer, at 3:28. And that would be as
close as the Cobras would get, as Coker
managed just one point over the remaining
three minutes of play. Smith led the way
with a game-high 15 points and 11
rebounds. Smith’s double-double is his first
of the year and third of his career. Ohman,
who started his first collegiate game, set
career highs with 15 points, including
three-point field goals.

Game 5
Greenville, N.C.
Alex McLean rebounded a TeeJay
Bannister miss and laid the game-winning
bucket in with eight-tenths of a second
remaining, sending Liberty to a 55-53 victory over East Carolina, Saturday night
inside the Minges Coliseum. Liberty
jumped out to a 10-4 lead over the Pirates,
courtesy of a Bannister jumper in the lane
at 11:33. The Flames then did not score for
nearly four-and-a-half minutes, at which
time McLean hit 1-of-2 free throw attempts.
However, the Pirates were cold from the
field themselves, managing only two points
during the Liberty dry spell. McLean’s solo
successful attempt from the charity stripe
pushed the Flames’ lead to 11-6, with 6:59
remaining in the half. East Carolina was
able outscore the Flames, 11-8, for the
remainder of the half, trimming Liberty’s
halftime advantage to 19-17. Scoring
picked up at the start of the second half, as
B.J. Jenkins scored 11 of the Flames’ first
13 points, increasing the lead to 32-26, with
16:13 remaining. Liberty stretched its lead
to 12 points, 38-26, after a McLean bucket
in transition at 11:45. The next eight minutes were in the Pirates advantage, 18-12,
with two made free throws by Darrell
Jenkins cutting the lead to 50-44, at 3:23.
The final three minutes of play proved to be
exciting. After Bannister canned a layup at
2:56, pushing the lead back to eight, 52-44,
East Carolina scored five-straight points.
The run cut the Flames’ lead to three, courtesy of Jenkins’ jumper with 1:29 remaining. Porter was then fouled by Gabe Blair,
sending the Liberty senior to the line for
two shots. Porter sank the second attempt,
giving the Flames a narrow 53-49 lead. On
the following possession, Jenkins went the
length of the court, draining a three-point
basket with 52 seconds remaining, cutting
the Flames’ lead down to one point, 53-52.
Liberty milked the clock on its next possession, but an Anthony Smith miss from
behind the arc at the shot clock’s expiration
fell right into the hands of Brock Young, the
freshman guard for the Pirates. Young
pushed ball down the court on a fast break,
and was fouled by McLean in the lane with
18 seconds remaining. Young went to the
line for two shots, sinking the first, tying the
game, 53-53. Liberty called a timeout in
between attempts and the freeze worked,
as Young missed his second attempt.
McLean grabbed the rebound and sent the
outlet pass to Bannister with 16 seconds on
the clock. Bannister pushed the ball toward
the hole, setting the stage for the buzzer
beater. Bannister dribble penetrated and
shot a fade away in the lane with three seconds left. McLean and Blair battled for the
rebound, but McLean had inside position.
The Liberty senior then laid in the game
winner with eight-tenths of a second
remaining, sending the Flames to a 55-53
victory. Jenkins led Liberty with a careerhigh 22 points on 9-of-15 shooting.
