Liberty Flames Set to Battle Western Kentucky Lady Toppers in Huntsville Showdown
As the Liberty Flames prepare to face off against the Western Kentucky Lady Toppers at the Von Braun Center, fans are eager for what promises to be a riveting encounter. The Flames' recent performance has been a testament to their resilience and skill, particularly highlighted in their last game on March 9 against the same team.
In that game, Liberty emerged victorious with an impressive 84-77 win over WKU. The Flames showcased a remarkable shooting efficiency from both inside and beyond the arc, hitting 76 percent of their two-point attempts and maintaining a solid 42 percent from three-point range. Their free-throw accuracy was near flawless at 91 percent, which could be pivotal in close encounters.
The Flames also dominated on rebounds with a total of 38 compared to WKU's 20, indicating superior control under both baskets. However, it wasn't just about scoring; Liberty's defense was equally formidable with three blocks and limiting turnovers to just one team turnover throughout the game.
On the other hand, WKU is not a team that can be taken lightly. Their ability to steal (11 steals) and convert points off turnovers (22 points) poses a significant threat. They also demonstrated strong second-chance scoring capabilities with ten second-chance points in their last meeting.
Despite these strengths from WKU, it's important to note that Liberty has shown they can handle pressure well. In another recent match-up on March 7 against Middle Tennessee Blue Raiders where they faced defeat (52-67), Liberty still managed an impressive defensive rebound count of 25 out of their total of 40 rebounds.
Looking ahead at this upcoming clash on March 13th at Von Braun Center scheduled for a tip-off at 3:00 PM EDT, it is clear that if LIB maintains its shooting prowess and tightens up ball security even further while continuing its dominance on rebounds – especially defensive ones – they stand an excellent chance of repeating past successes against WKU.
