Liberty Arena Hosts Showdown: Liberty Flames vs Mid-Atlantic Christian Mustangs
As the Liberty Flames prepare to face off against the Mid-Atlantic Christian Mustangs at Liberty Arena, fans can anticipate a game where past performance and home-court advantage set the stage for an exciting matchup. The Flames, known for their solid play last season, will look to continue their trend of success in front of a home crowd.
Last season's analytics reveal that the Flames had a commendable field goal percentage of 47, indicating efficient scoring from both inside and outside the arc. Their free throw percentage stood at 73, which could be crucial in close-game situations. With a true shooting percentage nearing 59, they demonstrated effective scoring efficiency considering all shots taken including three-pointers and free throws.
The team also showed proficiency beyond the arc with a three-point shooting percentage of 37. This long-range threat could stretch the Mustangs' defense and create opportunities inside. Additionally, with an average of over 16 assists per game last season, teamwork is clearly one of their strengths.
Defensively, they averaged around 15 personal fouls per game which suggests disciplined defense without giving away too many free shots to opponents. They also managed to secure nearly 31 rebounds per game—a testament to their ability to control possession and limit second-chance points for opponents.
However, it wasn't just about defense; with an average scoreline of approximately 75 points per game complemented by over six steals and more than two blocks on average each outing last year, they've shown that they can be disruptive on defense while maintaining offensive firepower.
The upcoming match promises to showcase these trends as the Liberty Flames aim to capitalize on their statistical strengths from last season while playing in front of their supportive home crowd at Liberty Arena.
Fans eager not only for victory but also for an exhibition of skilled basketball should mark their calendars. The action unfolds on November 7th at midnight UTC (November 6th local time) at Liberty Arena in Lynchburg VA; those unable to attend can catch live coverage via ESPN+ online network.
