Liberty Lady Flames Set to Ignite Pete Mathews Coliseum Against Jacksonville State
As the Liberty Lady Flames prepare to face off against the Jacksonville State Gamecocks at Pete Mathews Coliseum, fans are eager for what promises to be a thrilling encounter. The upcoming game, scheduled for January 10th at 7:30 PM, is set against a backdrop of recent performances that provide insights into how the Lady Flames might fare.
In their last outing on January 6th, the LIB team showed resilience and tenacity despite falling short by two points in a nail-biter against Western Kentucky's Lady Toppers. With a final score of 68-66, it was evident that Liberty's offense can pack a punch when needed. The team excelled in paint scoring with an impressive 32 points and showcased their efficiency from close range with a two-point field goal percentage of 53 percent.
However, turnovers were the Achilles' heel for LIB as they racked up an alarming total of 24. This is an area where they will need significant improvement if they are to overcome their next opponents. On defense, Liberty managed to out-rebound Western Kentucky by grabbing 44 rebounds compared to WKU's 31 but will need more steals and blocks if they want to disrupt Jacksonville State's rhythm.
Looking further back at their December performance against Tennessee's Lady Volunteers reveals another layer of grit within this squad. Despite being overwhelmed with a scoreline of 90-55 on December 31st, there were flashes of brilliance from LIB in terms of shot-blocking where they tallied seven blocks compared to Tennessee’s five.
The most telling statistic comes from Liberty’s victory over Randolph Wildcats on December 30th; here we saw what this team is truly capable of when firing on all cylinders – securing a comfortable win with a scoreline reading Liberty’s favor at 69-49. Their shooting accuracy was commendable as well; sinking shots at an overall field goal percentage rate of around half (44 percent) while dominating inside scoring with an impressive tally in paint points (34).
The key takeaway from these past games is that while there may be inconsistencies in play style and execution, there lies within the Lady Flames' roster potential for dominance both defensively and offensively.
As we look ahead towards the clash at Pete Mathews Coliseum against JVST Gamecocks – who themselves have been preparing diligently – it becomes clear that fans should expect nothing less than full-throttle intensity from start to finish.
Supporters can catch all the action live or tune into broadcasts come game day on January 10th at precisely half-past seven in the evening local time. The stage is set for what could very well be one fiery showdown under Alabama skies!
