Liberty Lady Flames Set to Host UTEP Miners at Liberty Arena
As the Liberty Lady Flames prepare to welcome the UTEP Miners to the Liberty Arena, fans are eager for what promises to be an exciting Women's Basketball matchup. The game is set against the backdrop of recent performances that have seen a mix of outcomes for the Lady Flames.
In their last three games, the Lady Flames have shown resilience and capability. A commanding victory over Grand Canyon Antelopes with a scoreline of 65-52 showcased their defensive prowess as they racked up 10 steals and forced 17 turnovers while also maintaining a strong presence in rebounding with 37 total rebounds. Their offensive efforts were equally impressive, converting on an exceptional 61 percent from beyond the arc.
However, consistency remains a challenge as evidenced by their subsequent games. A tough outing against Richmond Spiders saw them fall short despite scoring 73 points and achieving a high free throw percentage of almost 87 percent. Turnovers were a concern in this game, with 20 giving away valuable possessions.
The most recent game against Radford Highlanders was another defensive battle but ultimately ended in defeat for Liberty with only 45 points scored – their lowest in this stretch. They struggled offensively, shooting just 27 percent from the field and an uncharacteristic low three-point percentage of just ten percent.
Despite these ups and downs, playing at home at Liberty Arena has been advantageous for the team historically. The support from home fans can't be underestimated and could provide an extra boost needed to return to winning ways.
Looking ahead to facing UTEP Miners, it will be crucial for Liberty Lady Flames to tighten up their ball handling and improve shot selection if they are going to capitalize on home-court advantage. Fans can expect intense competition as both teams vie for victory on February 3rd at six o'clock in Lynchburg's own Liberty Arena – where every bounce of the ball will matter greatly in determining which team comes out on top.
For those unable to attend in person, details regarding broadcast networks or streaming services will likely become available closer to game day so fans can follow all action live wherever they may be.
