Liberty Wins Big South Men's Basketball Championship


CONWAY, S.C. -- No. 5 North Liberty captured its first VisitMyrtleBeach.com Big South Men's Basketball Championship title since 2004 Sunday afternoon, upsetting No. 1 South Charleston Southern, 87-76, inside The HTC Center. Guards John Caleb Sanders, Davon Marshall and Tavares Speaks combined for 65 points during the final step of the Flames' most improbable journey to the conference championship.

Liberty (15-20), which never won more than three straight games during the regular season, earned its third Big South title with four tournament victories in six days. The Flames ousted host Coastal Carolina and both the Big South North (High Point) and South Division (Charleston Southern) champions along the way. Head coach Dale Layer's Flames become just the second 20-loss team ever to qualify for the NCAA Tournament, joining Coppin State (16-20) in 2008.
