Liberty Flames Secure Victory at Spectrum Center Against Charlotte 49ers

In a competitive matchup at the Spectrum Center, the Liberty Flames emerged victorious over the Charlotte 49ers with a final score of 71-59. The Flames' season record now stands at an impressive 1-0, while the 49ers fall to 0-1.


Liberty Flames VS Charlotte 49ers

The Liberty Flames showcased their offensive capabilities by shooting an impressive field goal percentage of 53 from both inside and beyond the arc. The team's two-point attempts were particularly effective, with a success rate of 63 percent. From three-point territory, they made ten baskets out of twenty-five attempts for a solid forty percent completion rate. However, free throw accuracy was less stellar for the Flames as they managed to convert only three out of seven attempts.


Defensively, both teams were evenly matched with each recording three blocks and nearly equal personal fouls; twelve for the Liberty Flames and eleven for their opponents. Rebounding was another area where the Flames held a slight edge over the Charlotte team, pulling down thirty rebounds compared to twenty-seven by their adversaries.


The home team's ball distribution was noteworthy as well; they tallied twelve assists throughout the game which contributed significantly to their scoring efforts. Despite committing nine turnovers equal to that of Charlotte's count, they maintained better control overall with an assist-to-turnover ratio of one point five.


One aspect where Liberty did not dominate was in steals – managing just one compared to four by Charlotte – but this did not significantly impact their ability to control game flow or outcome.


The next scheduled game for Liberty will see them face off against Furman Paladins at HTC Center in Conway on November 17th. Fans eager to support can tune into ESPN+ on that date as it promises another exciting college basketball showcase.
