Liberty Flames to Host Delaware State Hornets at Liberty Arena

As the Liberty Flames prepare to welcome the Delaware State Hornets to Liberty Arena, fans are buzzing with anticipation for what promises to be a thrilling encounter. The Flames have shown remarkable resilience and skill in their recent games, and this upcoming matchup on November 26 is expected to showcase their continued dominance on the court.


Liberty Flames VS St. Andrews Knights

In their last game against the Bradley Braves on November 23, LIB displayed a strong defensive performance with 5 blocks and managed to secure a win with a score of 55-44. Their ability to convert from inside the paint was evident as they shot an impressive 46 percent from two-point range. Furthermore, they outrebounded the Braves by a significant margin of 41-28, which played a crucial role in their victory.


The Flames' assist-to-turnover ratio stood at 1.36 against Bradley, indicating efficient ball movement and decision-making under pressure. This aspect of their game will be critical when facing DSU's defense.


On offense, LIB has been consistent from beyond the arc as well; hitting nine three-pointers against Bradley shows they can stretch defenses and create scoring opportunities from deep. This balanced offensive threat will pose challenges for any opponent trying to contain them.


However, it's not just about offense for LIB; their defense has been equally impressive. In an earlier game on November 19 against Southern Miss Golden Eagles at home in Lynchburg – where they narrowly lost with a score of 72-76 – they still managed an admirable defensive effort with three blocks and four steals while keeping turnovers down.


The Hornets should not be underestimated though; every team brings its unique challenges and strategies that could disrupt even the most well-oiled machines like LIB. But given recent performances by both teams, it would take something special from DSU to upset the Flames in front of their home crowd.


As we look ahead towards this exciting clash between these two teams, all eyes will be on how well LIB can execute its game plan while adapting defensively against whatever DSU throws at them.


Fans eager not to miss any action should mark their calendars for November 26th when these two teams face off at Liberty Arena in Lynchburg at 5:00 PM local time (EST). Unfortunately for those who cannot attend in person, there are no broadcast networks listed for this event; however dedicated supporters are sure not let that dampen their spirits as they rally behind The Flames!
