As the Liberty Lady Flames prepare to host the Sam Houston State Bearkats at Liberty Arena, fans are abuzz with anticipation. The upcoming clash on February 17 promises to be a spectacle of skill and strategy, as both teams vie for dominance on the court.

The Lady Flames have been showing a consistent performance this season, which was evident in their recent victory against Grand Canyon Antelopes on December 20. With a commanding score of 65-52, the team demonstrated their prowess in both offense and defense. Their shooting accuracy from beyond the arc was particularly impressive, hitting an astonishing 62 percent of three-point attempts. This kind of sharpshooting will be crucial against SHSU.

In contrast to their stellar performance against Grand Canyon, the Lady Flames had a less favorable outcome when they faced Radford Highlanders on December 13. Despite their best efforts, they fell short with a final score of 45-57. It was an off night for LIB where they struggled with field goals at only 27 percent and were outplayed in terms of assists and turnovers.

However, it's important to note that every game is a new opportunity for redemption. The team's resilience was tested once more when they went up against Richmond Spiders on December 16; although LIB scored an impressive 73 points thanks to remarkable free throw accuracy at an astounding rate of 87 percent, it wasn't enough to secure victory over RICH's overwhelming offense that led them to fall by a scoreline of 73-99.

Looking ahead at SHSU's visitation, one can expect Liberty Lady Flames' coach Carey Green has been meticulously preparing his squad for this encounter. A key factor will be how well LIB can control turnovers while maximizing opportunities from steals – areas where they've shown competence throughout past games.

The defensive tenacity displayed by LIB will need to shine through once again if they are going to contain SHSU’s offensive threats. With home-court advantage and having displayed superior rebounding abilities in recent matchups – averaging more rebounds per game than their opponents – there is reason for optimism among fans that Liberty Arena could witness another triumph for the home side.

As we count down towards tip-off scheduled at Liberty Arena in Lynchburg on February 17th at 7:00 PM local time (EST), fans should mark their calendars not just for what promises to be an enthralling contest but also as an opportunity to support their beloved team live or tune into coverage available through local sports networks or streaming services offering live broadcasts.
