Projection: likely out

Liberty's resume indicates some significant challenges ahead of them. While they have a handful of quality wins, like the narrow victory against Kansas State and the strong showing against Middle Tennessee State, their overall performance has been inconsistent. Their close loss to Western Kentucky and defeats against teams like Louisiana Tech and UTEP raise concerns about their ability to compete at a higher level consistently. Their modest offensive rankings, which are significantly lower than their defensive capabilities, suggest they struggle to score effectively against stronger opponents. Upcoming games against tougher teams will be crucial. Winning these matchups, especially on the road, is essential to bolster their chances for tournament consideration, but the pressure remains high given their current standing and the mixed results against their conference foes.
