Can Liberty Lady Flames Reignite Their Spark Against Sam Houston State Bearkats at Liberty Arena?

As the Liberty Lady Flames prepare to host the Sam Houston State Bearkats at the Liberty Arena on February 17th, fans are eager to see if their team can bounce back from a recent slump. The Lady Flames have shown a mixed bag of performances in their last few outings, with a strong win against Grand Canyon Antelopes but stumbling against Radford Highlanders and Richmond Spiders.

In their victory over Grand Canyon, the Lady Flames dominated with a 65-52 scoreline, showcasing an impressive three-point shooting accuracy of 62 percent and an overall field goal percentage of 46. They also demonstrated solid defense with ten steals and three blocks while maintaining an assist-to-turnover ratio above one.

However, consistency has been an issue for the team. In their loss to Radford Highlanders, they only managed to score 45 points with a disappointing field goal percentage of just 27 and a particularly poor showing from beyond the arc at ten percent. Turnovers were also problematic as they gave up possession eighteen times.

The game against Richmond Spiders further highlighted areas for improvement as they conceded 99 points while scoring 73 themselves. Despite improving their free throw accuracy to an excellent 87 percent and maintaining a decent field goal percentage of 48, defensive lapses allowed too many points off turnovers.

Looking ahead to the matchup with Sam Houston State Bearkats, it's crucial for the Lady Flames to tighten up defensively and find more consistency in their shooting if they want to secure another home win. Fans should expect them to leverage home-court advantage where they've previously shown resilience.

The game is scheduled for February 17th at Liberty Arena in Lynchburg, VA. Tip-off is set for 7:00 PM local time (EST), and fans can catch all the action live as it unfolds on game day.
