Game PreviewThe Liberty Flames hit the road for the fi rst time during the 2008-09 season on Tuesday, when they invade the Justice Center to square off with Big South Conference foe, the UNC Asheville Bulldogs. Tip-off is slated for 2 p.m.

Tuesday’s conference opener will be televised on ESPN with a simulcast on ESPN360.com as part of the network’s College Bas-ketball Tip-Off Marathon, with Dave Barnett providing the play-by-play and Bob Wenzel providing color analysis. There will be a radio broadcast which will air on the Flames Sports Network (fl agship WRVL 88.3 FM), with Jerry Edwards providing the play-by-play for his 28th season. Additionally, an Internet audio broadcast on Liber-tyFlames.com will be available.

Liberty In Big South OpenersToday’s game marks the 18th Big South opener for the Flames. Liberty brings a 4-13 all-time record in Big South openers into the contest. The Flames have opened a conference season against UNC Asheville on six previous occasions, all resulting in Bulldog wins. UNCA is 3-0 inside the Vines Center and 3-0 inside the Jus-tice Center against Liberty when opening Big South play. Today’s contest marks the third straight year the Flames have opened up conference play inside the Justice Center.

Curry Joins Elite Liberty CircleFreshman Seth Curry became the fourth Liberty freshman, and the third since the Flames moved to Division I, to reach the 20-point plateau in their collegiate debut when he tallied 23 markers against Montreat on Friday.

The fi rst Liberty freshman to accomplish the feat was Willard De- Shazor, who poured in 29 points against Tennessee Temple on Nov. 28, 1973. Chris Toomer scored 21 points against Maine on Nov. 23, 1990 in his fi rst collegiate game. Jay Boykin was the last Liberty freshman, until Curry, to reach 20 points in his collegiate debut. He scored 20 points against Drake on Nov. 24, 1995, when Curry was fi ve years old.

The previous three members of this exclusive Liberty club played all four years at Liberty, but Deshazor was the only player to reach the 1,000-point club (1,569). Toomer is next with 583 career points.

HEAD COACH RITCHIE McKAY

Ritchie McKay hit the ground running once he arrived on Liberty Mountain, quickly as-sembling a 2008 re-cruiting class that Bas-ketball Times ranked at No. 48 on its Top 50 list. Liberty joined eight other schools which are not a part of a BCS foot-ball power conference. Liberty marks Mc-

Kay’s fi fth head coaching stint, and his fi rst east of the Mississippi, after stops in the Big Sky, Mountain West, Pac-10 and WAC conferences. With the experience and success that McKay brought with him to Liberty, the true nature of how special his fi rst Liberty recruiting class can be, is refl ected in the national recognition it’s re-ceived prior to the sextet’s arrival on campus. With his recruiting accolades aside, McKay’s inaugural season at Liberty was one of improve-ments. McKay guided the Flames to their fi rst non-losing season in four years, setting three-point shooting records along the way. McKay’s squad had a penchant for hitting the trey, setting Liberty records in three-point fi eld goals (288) and at-tempts (772), while fi nishing the year with the third-best success rate (37.3 percent) in school history. Under McKay’s tutelage, an already talented Anthony Smith reached new heights. As a junior, Smith was the only player in the nation during the 2008 season to attempt at least 200 three-point fi eld goals and succeed on at least 50 per-cent of his fi eld goal attempts (51.5) and 40 per-cent of his three-point fi eld goal attempts (41.0). Under McKay’s guidance, TeeJay Bannister fi nished the season ranked No. 3 in the nation in assists (224 assists). Bannister’s assist mark is a Liberty Division I record, the second-best mark overall in the Liberty annals, serves as the second-best mark in Big South history. Bannister became only the fi fth player in conference his-tory to reach the 200-assist plateau in a season. McKay oversaw a successful campaign from for-ward Alex McLean as well. McLean was named to the Big South All-Conference fi rst team. The honor marked the sixth-straight year, Liberty has placed a player on the fi rst team, tying the second-best streak in conference history. The streak also serves as the longest current streak among conference teams. McKay earned his bachelor of arts degree in ath-letic administration from Seattle Pacifi c in 1987. A stellar player for the Falcons, McKay left the pro-gram as the school’s single-season and career re-cord holder for steals, and he was third in career assists. He still holds the school record with 10 steals in a 1987 game against Pacifi c Lutheran. McKay is married to the former Julie Summers. The couple resides in Forest, Va., with their two sons, Luke (9) and Gabriel (7) and a daughter, Ellie (12).

Liberty versus UNC AshevilleToday’s contest marks the 43rd all-time meeting between the twoschools in basketball. UNC Asheville leads the series, 25-17. The Flames have won fi ve of their last six meetings with UNC Asheville, inside the Vines Center. But, when traveling to the Justice Center, the Flames are 2-4 over their last six games.

All-Time Series Results

Overtime DroughtLiberty has played 72 overtime-free games since the Flames last ended regulation of a contest tied. The last time Liberty played in an overtime game was on Feb. 6, 2006, against UNC Asheville in-side the Vines Center. Liberty eventually dropped the game, 83-81.

The streak serves as the second-longest in program history and the longest during Liberty’s Division I era. The longest Liberty streak without an overtime contest is 134 games from Dec. 8, 1972 until Dec. 9, 1977. Liberty is 18-29 all-time in overtime games.

Winning a Season OpenerWith a 97-77 victory over Montreat on Friday, the Flames secured their fi rst win in a season opener since Nov. 17, 2000, when Liberty defeated Tusculum, 84-58, inside the Vines Center. Liberty is now 19-18 all-time in season openers.

Curry Ties Vines Center Record in DebutCurry’s seven steals against Montreat on Friday tied a Vines Center record that was originally set by Delawn Grandison on Jan. 7, 1999 against Tusculum and was last achieved by Maurice Watkins on Jan. 15, 2001 against Charleston Southern. Curry becomes one of seven players to record seven steals inside Liberty’s home edifi ce.

McKay Starts StrongRitchie McKay is now 10-3 as a head coach in season openers. He starts a new winning streak after his previous streak of four straight triumphs was snapped last year by San Diego State. Liberty fell to San Diego State, 62-50, at Fresno State’s World Vision Classic on Nov. 9, 2007. McKay previous loss in a season opener came in his inaugural game as the head coach at New Mexico, falling 76-68, at the hands of the Cal Golden Bears on Nov. 23, 2002. McKay also dropped his very fi rst game as a collegiate head coach at Portland State, falling at Mississippi, 56-54, in 1996.

Flames Facing New Foes This YearLiberty has the potential to face eight opponents the Flames have never previously met. Liberty’s non-conference schedule pits the Flames against Anderson, DePaul, Northern Colorado and Saint Louis. Due to Liberty’s Thanksgiving Classic, the Findlay Toyota Las Vegas Classic and the ESPNU BracketBuster, an additional three opponents could join the list. Those possible opponents are South Carolina State, Southern, USC Upstate and whoever the Flames draw in the ESPNU BracketBuster (opponent will be announced in February).

The Curry/Lynchburg ConnectionFreshman Seth Curry isn’t the only member of his family to appear in a college game on the Liberty campus. Seth’s father, Dell Curry, as a freshman, poured in a game-high 19 points, on 7-of-13 shooting, for Virginia Tech on Dec. 7, 1982, in the Hokies’ 71-53 triumph over the Flames.

The game featured two fathers of 2008 All-Americans. Dell’s older son Stephen is an All-American performer at Davidson, while the Flames’ Eric Gordon saw his son, Eric Gordon, Jr., picked in the fi rst round of the NBA Draft by the Los Angeles Clippers after an All-American season at Indiana. Liberty’s Gordon, scored six points and dished out two assists against Curry’s Virginia Tech squad on that cold December night in 1982.

My Brother is an All-AmericanFreshmen Seth Curry and Jesse Sanders each are younger siblings of All-Americans from last season. Curry’s older brother Stephen is currently an All-American performer at Davidson, nearly lifting the Wildcats to the 2008 Final Four. Sanders’ older brother Thomas earned All-American honors at Gardner-Webb after being named 2008 Atlantic Sun Player of the Year. The elder Sanders poured in 21 points and pulled down 10 rebounds in the Bulldogs’ 84-68 upset win at No. 20 Kentucky on Nov. 8, 2007.

Next on the Scoring List for Anthony SmithWith 1,164 career points, Anthony Smith sits in 15th place all-time in the Liberty annals for scoring. On Friday, Smith passed Eric Gordon (1,154), on Liberty’s career scoring list.

Gordon was a three-year letterwinner from 1982-84 and is the fa-ther of former Indiana All-American and the Los Angeles Clippers’ 2008 fi rst-round draft pick, Eric Gordon.

Next up is Greg McCauley (1,228), a four-year letterwinner from 1981-85.

Smith is a Preseason Mid-Major All-AmericanSenior Anthony Smith was named by CollegeInsider.com to its Preseason Mid-Major All-American list. Smith was the only player from the Big South Conference on the list and became only the second Liberty Flame to garner such preseason accolades from the prestigious website. Former Liberty standout Larry Blair made the list prior to the 2006-07 campaign.

Smith is Preseason Big South Preseason Player of the YearSenior Anthony Smith was tabbed by the coaches and media as the Big South Preseason Player of the Year. It marks the fi rst time the Liberty men’s program has been recognized with the honor.

Smith Can ShootSenior Anthony Smith was the only player in the nation in 2008 to attempt at least 200 three-point fi eld goals and succeed on at least 40 percent of his three-point fi eld goal attempts (41.0), while also connecting on 50 percent of his fi eld goal attempts (51.5).

He was one of fi ve players in the nation to accomplish the same feat while attempting at least 100 three-point fi eld goals. The other players were Mario Chalmers (Kansas), Lee Cummard (BYU), Malik Hairston (Oregon) and James Harden (Arizona State).

November RecordOverall, Liberty has posted a 70-68 record in November, includ-ing a 48-15 ledger at home, 10-38 record 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 24-11 record in the month of November.

New FacesLiberty returns 33.5 points of its 69.4 points per game from last season, and 56 percent of those points came from Liberty’s lone returning starter, Anthony Smith (16.0 ppg). Included in the returning points per game number is three total points from Tyler Baker, who appeared in one game before giving way to injury and James Spencer, a walk-on who tallied two total points. The fi nal returnees, Kyle Ohman, chipped in 7.7 ppg and Jeremy Anderson tallied 6.8 ppg.

Season Openers - HomeFriday marked the fi rst time Liberty opened a season at home since Nov. 19, 2004, when the Flames hosted New Hampshire. Liberty dropped the 2004 contest in a heartbreaker, 59-58.

Liberty Picked to Finish Fourth in the Big South ConferenceLiberty was tabbed to fi nish fourth in the preseason Big South Conference poll. Liberty received two fi rst-place votes, as seven different schools received nods as a possible contender to be the league’s top fi nisher. The preseason poll is voted on by the league’s coaches and media.

The Flames fi nished in fourth place a season ago, giving Liberty its fi rst non-losing season in four years. McKay enters his second Liberty season with the loss of four starters and a total of eight lettermen off last year’s 16-16 squad. A Basketball Times Top 50 recruiting class, the fi rst in Liberty or Big South history, could be a remedy for those losses.

Winthrop was picked to fi nish fi rst, followed by a closely contested vote for second place. Radford nudged Big South newcomer Gardner-Webb by one point. High Point was picked to fi nish fi fth behind Liberty, while Charleston Southern, VMI, Coastal Carolina, UNC Asheville and Presbyterian round out the remainder of the poll.

Seth Curry (above) tallied 23 points in his collegiate debut on Friday.

Game 1Lynchburg, Va.

Seth Curry had a banner night, scoring 23 points and ty-ing a Vines Center record with seven thefts as the Liberty Flames (1-0) defeated the Montreat Cavaliers (1-2), 97-77, in front 5,198 raucous fans. The win marks the fi rst season-opening win for the Flames since they topped Tusculum, 84-58, on Nov. 17, 2000, inside the Vines Center. Curry’s seven steals tied a Vines Center record that was originally set by Delawn Grandison on Jan. 7, 1999 against Tuscu-lum and was last achieved by Maurice Watkins on Jan. 15, 2001 against Charleston Southern. Curry becomes one of seven players to record seven steals inside Liberty’s home edifi ce. The Flames sprinted out to a 15-3 lead when Brolin Floyd nailed a three-point bucket from the corner at 13:28. Making his fi rst collegiate appearance, Curry scored Liberty’s fi rst fi ve points and seven of the Flames’ fi rst 12 during the run. Montreat managed one fi eld goal by Timmy Harper at the 17:53 mark, before being held without a fi eld goal until the 10:18 mark, when Seth Moore tallied a bucket in the paint. By that time, Liberty had extended its advantage to 21-6. The Cavaliers were able to cut the defi -cit to 10 points, 34-24, via an 18-13 advantage, capped by a Vincent Dombrowski three-point bucket at 3:45. Liberty quickly extended the lead back to 15 points, 39-24, cour-tesy of fi ve straight points by Floyd. A trey from the corner at 2:34 capped the mini surge. Liberty closed out the half on a 9-5 run, capped by an Anthony Smith bucket as the half expired. The Flames went into the break with a 48-29 lead. The Flames were led in the opening stanza with 14 points by Curry, followed by 10 points by Floyd. Liberty connected on 42.9 percent (18-of-42) from the fl oor and 33.3 percent (5-of-15) from beyond the arc. Montreat shot 33.3 percent (10-of-30) from the fl oor and 16.7 percent (2-of-12) from beyond the arc in the fi rst period. The Cava-liers came out of the break on an 11-5 spurt, capped by a MJ Njoku bucket at the 16:25 mark, cutting the score to 55-40. Liberty then reeled off seven straight points, taking a 20-point advantage, 60-40, after two free throws by Kyle Ohman at 15:36. The difference between the teams did not change much the rest of the contest, as Liberty fi nished with the 20-point win, 97-77. The Flames fi nished the night connecting on 47.8 percent (33-of-69) from the fl oor and 46.2 percent (12-of-26) from three-point range. Montreat tallied a 40.6 percent (28-of-69) success rate from the fi eld and 25 percent (7-of-28) from beyond the arc. Smith led the Flames with 25 points on 10-of-15 shooting, while mov-ing into 15th place on Liberty’s all-time scoring list, passing Eric Gordon (1,154). Smith pulled down a team-high nine rebounds in the victory. Floyd added 15 points and Ohman chipped in 14 points, as every player who appeared for the Flames tallied at least two points.
