Projection: next four out
Liberty's resume has some strengths, particularly on defense, where they're showing solid metrics to contain opponents, which bodes well for the postseason. However, they've struggled against higher-ranked teams, as evidenced by their recent loss to Florida Atlantic and a close call with Kansas State. This showcases issues in offensive consistency, especially against stronger competition. Their upcoming stretch is crucial; games against WKU and Middle Tennessee are vital opportunities for signature wins that could boost confidence and their tournament profile. Conversely, slipping up against teams like Louisiana Tech or UTEP could further jeopardize their standing, leaving them on the outside looking in come Selection Sunday.
