Projected seed: 12 (automatic qualifier)

Liberty’s résumé is anchored by meaningful road wins at Dayton, WKU, New Mexico State and UTEP and bolstered by comfortable home wins, including a blowout of Coppin State and solid nonconference victories over College of Charleston and Florida Atlantic that show the team can win in different settings. Those highs are tempered by a humbling road loss at NC State and two neutral-site setbacks to Towson and Bradley that raise legitimate questions about how the Flames handle stronger opposition, yet a remaining slate that features a return against Florida International a home clash with WKU trips to Kennesaw and Jacksonville State and late opportunities against Sam Houston State and Louisiana Tech gives Liberty clear chances to erase the blemishes and add signature wins, which is why the team sits where it does.
