The venue itself could play into the hands of the Lady Flames; historically strong performances at Liberty Arena have been bolstered by fervent home support. With an assist-to-turnover ratio that has seen improvement over recent games and solid shooting percentages inside the arc, fans can expect them to leverage these strengths.
As we look ahead towards this matchup, it is clear that maintaining strong defense while capitalizing on scoring opportunities will be key for Liberty University's team. Fans can catch all the action live on December 20th at 7:00 PM local time as these two teams clash on court right here in Lynchburg’s own Liberty Arena.
