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 concludes its three-game homestand, as they host the High Point Panther, Saturday night, inside the Vines Center. The Big South Conference match-up is set to tip-off at 9 p.m. Saturday’s contest will be televised on the Mid-Atlantic Sports Network (MASN) and the Flames Television Network with Ray Jones providing play-by-play, Tim Scarborough adding color commentary and Samantha Steele patrolling the sidelines.

Jenkins contributed 13 points and a career-high eight rebounds in the victory. The win snapped a mini two-game slide to start the conference schedule.

TeeJay Bannister broke Beau Wallace’s Vines Center single-game record (12) for assists with 13, before breaking his own record on Monday against Coastal Carolina with 15 assists. Alex McLean matched his Vines Center record for rebounds (17), which he set against Lipscomb last season. Liberty limited KCU to 15 second-half points, a Vines Center record for lowest output by an opponent in a half, breaking Averett’s (16) mark in a December 1993 contest. Liberty pulled down 59 rebounds, matching a Vines Center single-game record established against Averett in 1992. Liberty also broke a Vines Center single-game record for defensive rebounds with 42, breaking the previous mark (37) set against Radford in 2002. Non-Conference Wins Liberty entered Big South play with eight wins, the most since the 19992000 team collected 10 non-conference victories. Liberty entered Big South play with a winning record (8-7) for the first time since the 2001 team took a 7-5 record into league play. TeeJay Bannister Reaches 300 Career Assists After dishing out eight assists against Campbell on Dec. 28, TeeJay Bannister reached the 300 career assist mark. To date the senior has 374 assists during his collegiate career. Bannister registered 238 during his three years at Virginia. The senior currently has 136 helpers for the Flames this season and ranks No. 2 nationally in the category. Liberty Undefeated at Home Liberty is currently 9-0 at home this season and 7-0 in non-conference contests. With no remaining home non-conference games this year, the Flames went undefeated in home non-conference games for the first time since the 1995-96 season. That season, Liberty went 4-0 at home during the non-conference portion of its schedule. Since moving to the NCAA Division I level, Liberty has never gone undefeated at home during a non-conference slate when playing more than four non-conference contests. Alex McLean and His Three-Point Shot Alex McLean has three career three-point field goals. All three buckets have come at Longwood’s expense. McLean has gone 1-of-1 from behind the arc in each of his three appearances against the Lancers. TeeJay Bannister Lending an Assist TeeJay Bannister is dishing out 7.6 assists per game this year, which is currently ranked No. 2 in the nation. The average is the highest by a Flame since Kenny Gunn registered 6.5 helpers during the 1983-84 campaign. Bannister wasn’t born until the June following that season. Currently Bannister’s assist average is the highest of any senior in program history, topping Karl Hess and his 5.5 apg average in 1980, from the top spot. Liberty Shooting Well At Home The Flames have shot 53.2 percent (244-of-459) from the floor during their nine home games, all of which resulted in wins. Liberty has also hit 43.1 percent (87-of-202) of its attempts from behind the three-point arc during the same span. The Niagara game (Dec. 1) marked the only time this season Liberty eclipsed the 60-percent shooting mark. Anthony Smith Sets Record Anthony Smith set a Big South single-game record shooting 87.5 percent from three-point range versus Longwood (7-of-8) on Nov. 27. The conference record is based on a minimum seven threepoint field goals made. The game serves as the sixth-best individual performance in the nation this season. Matching a Record Anthony Smith tied a Vines Center record with his seven three-point field goals against Longwood on Nov. 27. Smith matched former teammate Larry Blair, who set the mark when he made seven treys against High Point on March 6, 2004. Alex McLean Scores 30 Alex McLean’s 33 points on Nov. 27 against Longwood tied for the sixth-best scoring performance by a Flame inside the Vines Center. His performance matched former teammate Larry Blair’s output against UNC Asheville on Feb. 6, 2006. Kyle Ohman Stepping Up Sophmore Kyle Ohman has scored 138 points through the Flames’ first 19 games this season. Last year, Ohman only scored eight points during Liberty’s 31 total games. Ohman has scored in 16 out of 19 games. Ohman was held scoreless at East Carolina on Nov. 17, again at Kentucky on Nov. 21 after battling illness all day and once more at Winthrop on Jan. 15. TeeJay Bannister and His Assists TeeJay Bannister has played nine games inside the Vines Center, including an exhibition game against Barton. Bannister has dished out 90 assists during those nine contests, good for a 10.0 assists per game average. Barton 14 Presbyterian 4 Ky.

Flames Played Seven Games in November Liberty played seven games in the month of November. That figure is the most games the Flames have played in November since the 1979-80 season. That year Liberty participated in eight contests in November on its way to a 28-11 record and the NCCAA National Championship. Big South Double-Doubles Alex McLean is third in the conference with seven double-doubles this season. Arizona Reid of High Point leads the league with 13. 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. McLean Collecting Double-Doubles Senior Alex McLean collected his seventh double-double of the season and 19th of his career when he scored 22 points and grabbed 12 rebounds versus Coastal Carolina on Monday. Here is a look at McLean’s double-double performances this season.

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. January Record Overall, Liberty has posted a 145-180 record, 95-54 at home, 46-123 on the road and 4-3 at a neutral location during the month of January. Since the 2000-01 season, Ritchie McKay has a 24-33 record in the month. 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. 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 86 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. Foul Trouble Senior TeeJay Bannister fouled out of the first three games in which he appeared this season. Bannister collected four fouls in the following five games he appeared in for Liberty. Games Bannister notched at least four fouls. San Diego State 5 Fresno State East Carolina 4 Kentucky Niagara 4 Campbell 5 4 4 Portland Longwood Virginia Tech 5 4 4 In the previous 76 career games in which he has played, Bannister fouled out only five times. All 76 of those games were played when Bannister was enrolled at Virginia. Anthony Smith’s Starting Streak Junior Anthony Smith has started 52-straight contests, dating back to his freshman year. The current streak started on Feb. 25, 2006, when Liberty traveled to High Point. The span is the longest for a Flame since Larry Blair started 65-straight contests, a streak that spanned three seasons. Blair’s streak started on Jan. 1, 2005, at Seton Hall and was snapped when he was left out of the starting lineup at High Point on Jan. 17, 2007. Ranking in the Conference Liberty ranks first in the conference in free throw percentage (72.6) and 3-point field goal defense (31.0). Alex McLean ranks sixth in the conference in scoring (16.2) while TeeJay Bannister holds the No. 2 spot for assists (7.1) Alex McLean Tabbed Big South Player of the Week Alex McLean was selected the Big South Conference Choice Hotels Men’s Basketball Player of the Week, for games played from Nov. 26-Dec. 2. McLean averaged 22.5 points and 9.5 rebounds for the week, leading Liberty to home victories over Longwood and Niagara. McLean scored 33 points on 13-of-19 shooting and grabbed 11 caroms against the Lancers on Nov. 27. The 33 points were a national high for the day. McLean also recorded two assists, one block and a steal, notching his third double-double of the season in 30 minutes of action. On Dec. 1 against Niagara, McLean tallied 12 points on 5-of-7 shooting and pulled down eight rebounds, helping Liberty defeat the Purple Eagles, a team that made the NCAA Tournament two of the past three seasons. Niagara reached the NIT in between those two NCAA postseason runs. McLean shot 69.2 percent from the field for the week on 18-of-26 shooting, while shooting 72.7 percent (8-of-11) from the charity stripe and chipping in 2.5 assists per game. This was McLean’s second time earning conference player of the week honors. The Big South named McLean its player of the week on Feb. 25, 2007, the week he set new career highs with 40 points and 19 rebounds at VMI. Away From Home Liberty started 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. Anthony Smith’s Rebounds Are Up Junior Anthony Smith is pulling down 1.4 more rebounds per game this season than last year (4.7 to 3.3). Smith’s rebound numbers are up, but his assists are down. Last season, Smith dished out 2.4 assists per game. So far this season, he is only averaging 1.0 assist per contest. Rell Porter Reaches 100 Career Games Senior Rell Porter has currently played in 108 contests during his Liberty career. The Liberty record for games played is 122, set by Larry Blair last year. Porter became the 25th player in program history to appear in 100 career games against Virginia Tech on Dec. 19. Should Porter appear in every game this year, he will reach 120 career games played 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). The Big South record is 123, set last season by Winthrop’s Craig Bradshaw and Philip Williams. Big South Highs Liberty shot 61.7 percent (29-of-47) from the floor on Dec. 1 against Niagara and 57.9 percent (33of-57) on Nov. 27 against Longwood. Those numbers serve as the two of the top four shooting performances of any Big South squad this season. The Niagara games serves as tops on the list versus a Division I opponent. 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. Shooting 60 Percent or Higher Liberty shot 61.7 percent (29-of-47) from the floor on Dec. 1 against Niagara. This was the first time Liberty has reached the 60-percent mark since Feb. 21, 2007 at VMI (64.4). The Flames reached 60 percent shooting in three games last year. This season, the team has reached the number during its eighth game, as compared to last year when the team hit the 60-percent mark on game No. 21. 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. McLean’s rebounding numbers are roughly the same this season, as he averages 8.7 rebounds per game this year. What a Difference a Year Makes A new coach means a new role for walk-on Kyle Ohman. Saturday will mark the 20th game of the season and could account for the 20th contest Ohman appears in this year. Ohman appeared in only 10 contests all of last season. B.J. Jenkins’ Production Goes Up with Minutes B.J. Jenkins has increased his playing time by 17.9 minutes per game since his freshman season last year. Production is up all around for Jenkins, who is enjoying an average 5.3 point increase in his scoring average. Jenkins is pulling down 2.7 more rebounds this season and dishing out 1.1 more assists. Jeremy Anderson Makes Debut Freshman Jeremy Anderson appeared in his first contest for the Flames this season on Dec. 15 at Campbell after battling an injury to his right foot. Anderson scored six points on 2-of-4 shooting, while playing 15 minutes. Road Woes The Flames have lost 32 of their last 36 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 Nov. 17.

The win served as Liberty’s first ever against East Carolina in six tries and the program’s first win against a member of Conference USA. The 55-53 victory over the Pirates served as the program’s second all-time win over a Conference USA program. Liberty in Home Big South Openers Jan. 19 marked the 17th home Big South opener for the Flames. Liberty is now 10-7 all-time in Big South openers, including winning six straight. Last year the Flames beat Radford 80-66. Liberty In Big South Openers The Jan. 12 contest at UNC Asheville marked the 17th Big South opener for the Flames. Liberty is now 4-13 all-time record in Big South openers after falling 74-70 to UNC Asheville. The Flames have opened a conference season with UNC Asheville on six occasions, all resulting in Bulldog wins. UNCA is 3-0 inside the Vines Center and 3-0 inside the Justice Center against Liberty when opening Big South play. Pirates Jump Start B.J. Jenkins B.J. Jenkins tallied a then career-best 22 points on Nov. 17 against East Carolina. The sophomore from Virginia Beach, Va., is now averaging 17.0 points over his two career games against East Carolina. Jenkins scored 12 markers last year against the Pirates, on Dec. 2, 2006. Jenkins’ performance helped garner him Big South Freshman of the Week honors on Dec. 4, 2006. Liberty Honors Dr. Falwell Inside the Vines Center In its continuing efforts to honor Dr. Jerry Falwell, the Liberty athletics department unveiled a new memorial to the University’s founder and former chancellor. During the Nov. 28 Convocation, inside the Vines Center, Liberty’s Director of Athletics Jeff Barber announced that the number 71 will hang from the rafters on a jersey to signify Dr. Falwell’s impact on Liberty University and its athletics department. The honoring of Dr. Falwell’s thumbprint on the athletics department began before the passing of the renowned visionary. During Homecoming 2006, Liberty retired the first ever football jersey in Dr. Falwell’s honor. After Dr. Falwell’s passing, a new tradition began with the start of the 2007 football season. Prior to the start of every home football game, a giant flag with the number 71 is hoisted up the flagpole in a mini-pregame ceremony. The number 71 signifies the year, 1971, when Liberty first opened its doors. The Nov. 28 ceremony took place prior to the featured Convocation speaker, Presidential candidate Mike Huckabee. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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. Smith, a 6-9 forward from Tucson, Ariz., transferred to Ironwood Ridge from Mountain View.

Billy White hit a jumper on the next possession to push the lead to 9-5 for the Aztecs. Once again, neither squad could find the basket until the 9:48 mark when Anthony Smith hit a threepoint bucket, cutting the lead to 9-8 with 9:48 left in the opening period.Smith then stole the ball from Kyle Spain, which led to TeeJay Bannister dishing an assist to Porter to give Liberty its first lead of the game, 10-9, with 8:55 remaining. San Diego State bounced back with six-straight points, with the run being capped by a Billy White dunk to take a 15-10 lead with 5:59 remaining. Liberty cut the lead back to two points, 15-13, on a Kyle Ohman three-point basket on the very next position. The Aztecs then made a push near the end of the half, taking a 10-point advantage, 2717, courtesy of a 12-4 spurt, finished by a three-point bucket by Lorrenzo Wade with 45 seconds left in the first half. Fresno State got hot to start the second half, going on a 14-3 run capped by a Ryan Amoroso jumper, extending its lead to 43-22, with 12:50 remaining. The Aztecs and the Flames went back and forth for the remainder of the game, concluding with a Liberty 6-0 run to finish the game, 62-50.

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.

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 led the entire game until the closing second of the contest. Liberty milked the clock with under a minute to play, 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 career-high 22 points on 9-of-15 shooting.

The Kentucky Wildcats had two weeks to mull over their 84-68 loss to Gardner-Webb in the 2K College Sports Classic. The time off worked against the Flames, as Liberty fell, 80-54, to Kentucky in its first game since the setback, inside the famed Rupp Arena. With the bad taste of its last contest against Gardner-Webb still in its mouth, Kentucky wasted no time getting started, opening the contest on a 12-2 run. The burst was finished off by Ramel Bradley’s second three-point bucket at the 14:55 mark. Liberty got things going with a little spurt of its own, cutting the lead down to eight, 20-12, with 6:58 remaining. The Flames received two free throws from Russell Monroe, another from TeeJay Bannister and Alex McLean, followed by buckets from Anthony Smith and McLean during the scoring span. Liberty continued to trim the margin, getting it to seven, 2417, after a Porter three-point bucket, followed by a McLean lay up at 3:27. But that would be as close as the Flames would get. Kentucky closed out the half on a 12-4 run, capped by a Joe Crawford three-point bucket with 34 seconds left in the first stanza, taking a 36-21 lead into the break. The Wildcats came out of the intermission gunning, quickly extending their lead to 17 when Patterson hit two free throws at 17:20, pushing the score to 42-25. The Flames never got closer, falling by 26 points. The Flames were led by McLean’s 15 points and five rebounds. Smith chipped in 10 points, while B.J. Jenkins scored nine points and grabbed four rebounds. Porter added eight points and grabbed five of the Flames’ 15 offensive rebounds.

With nine seconds on the clock, Tyrone Lewis tried to go in for a lay-up before being blocked on the backside by Ohman. Alex McLean grabbed the loose-ball rebound, prompting the game’s dramatic climax. McLean was fouled by Andrew Patterson with eight seconds left. Liberty was in the double-bonus, giving McLean two free attempts from the free throw line.

Liberty quickly pushed the lead to 15 points, 27-12, when McLean took a Jenkins pass to the basket at 5:05. The Flames were able to maintain the sizeable advantage for the duration of the first half, heading into the break with an 18-point advantage after a McLean bucket at 1:00.

McLean was a force down low, leading the Flames with 25 points on 11-of-17 shooting, while grabbing nine caroms, one short of his fourth double-double of the season. Game 10 Buies Creek, N.C. Despite 20 points by Alex McLean and B.J. Jenkins, the Liberty Flames saw their three game-winning streak halted, suffering a tightly-contested 73-70 setback to the Campbell Fighting Camels, at Carter Gym. Neither team gained much of an advantage early on, as the two squads traded baskets over the first four minutes of play. A threepoint basket by Jake Wohlfeil at the 15:21 mark gave the Camels the lead, which they would hold until the waning seconds of the first half. Five minutes later, TeeJay Bannister found McLean open and the senior connected on a jumper with 9:52 left to play in the first, cutting Campbell’s lead to three points, 15-12. The homestanding Camels proceeded to net the next eight points, closing the 8-0 run on a Preston Dodson jumper at the 7:16 mark to stake Campbell to a 23-12 lead. Following a pair of free throws from Jenkins and a lay-up by Rodriguez with 4:45 left before the break, Liberty strung together a 15-3 run over the remainder of the half. Liberty scored the first three points of the second half to open its first edge since netting the game’s opening bucket, 37-34 at 18:35. Jenkins tallied all three markers on a jumper on the Flames’ first possession of the half and, after a Campbell turnover and foul, hit 1-of-2 from the charity stripe. The teams exchanged the lead over the next three minutes play until two made free throws by McLean started a 9-3 run for the Flames at 14:09. Campbell erased the Liberty advantage over the next several minutes, taking back the lead, 5554, on a layup by Vejraska with 7:32 left. After a Rodriguez bucket moved the Campbell lead back to four in the final minute, Jenkins connected on a three-pointer with 29 seconds left to make it, 71-70. The Flames forced a turnover on the Camels’ next trip down the floor, setting up a chance to take the lead with 18 seconds left. However, Liberty would miss a jumper with seven seconds left and turn the ball over on a walk after getting the offensive rebound. Wohlfeil hit two foul shots in the closing seconds to seal a 73-70 victory for Campbell. McLean posted a double-double with 20 points and 11 rebounds.

The Flames jumped out quickly to a 5-0 lead, courtesy of a Rell Porter bucket and a Kyle Ohman three-point field goal at 17:23. Liberty then stretched the lead to four points, 7-3, when TeeJay Bannister tallied two points in the lane at the 15:20 mark. Virginia Tech took its first lead of the contest, 8-7, when A.D. Vassallo hit a three-point bucket from the wing at 12:36. The Flames regained the lead, 13-8, courtesy of back-to-back three-point buckets by Anthony Smith and Ohman, with Smith’s coming at 9:18. The Hokies tied the game for the third time at 21 when Vassallo was successful on both attempts from the charity stripe with 56.4 seconds remaining in the first stanza. Liberty took what would be its final lead of the contest going into the intermission when Ohman put back a Jeremy Anderson missed jump with 2.8 seconds remaining, giving the Flames the 23-21 halftime advantage.

Campbell charged with a 6-0 run, finished by a pair of free throws by Reggie Bishop, cutting the lead to 31-26, with 1:07 left in the first stanza.
