Following the men's basketball contest last night, head coach Hilliary Scott had the following to share with the Lynchburg community, "On behalf of the LC Men's Basketball Program, we would like to thank everyone who attended the game last night. It was the best atmosphere that we have seen in Turner Gym in a long time. Thanks for helping us to victory! We appreciate all of your support throughout the year and we hope that we made you proud. Go Hornets!!"
