Liberty Escaped

There was nothing impressive about the game on Friday night against Kennesaw State except that they were able to secure the win. Liberty was down 40-31, and it took 50 points in the second to even come away with a two-point victory. Liberty shot 50.9 percent from the field and 43.8 percent from behind the three-point line. Kaden Metheny was the top player, putting up 244 points, three rebounds, and two assists. Four different players ended up putting up at least 11 points. Two games ago against UTEP, it was more comfortable, and they won 81-60. 

Liberty sits with a 27-6 record. Liberty on the season is averaging 76.5 points while their defense is giving up 62.8 points per game. The offense has been good, but even more important the defense is going to need to step up here. Taleon Peter has been the top player averaging 13.8 points while shooting 58 percent from the field.

Jacksonville State Also Played With Fire

Jacksonville State also played with fire on Friday, but they were able to pick up the 70-68 victory over Middle Tennessee. At halftime, they were tied, but in the second half, they outscored them by two points, which was enough to pick up the win. Jacksonville State shot 45.3 percent from the field and 38.9 percent from behind the three-point line. Quel’Ron House was the top player putting up 20 points, two rebounds, and two assists. Three different players put up at least 11 points. In this game, getting out to a fast start is going to need to be a key. 

Jacksonville State has a 22-11 overall record. Its offense is averaging 74.1 points, while its defense is giving up 68.3 points per game. In the last game against Liberty, the offense wasn’t good enough, and they are going to need it to be a whole lot better here. Jaron Pierre Jr. is averaging 21.7 points while shooting 42.6 percent from the field and 39.3 percent from deep. 

Jacksonville State vs Liberty Prediction

This total is too high. The Liberty defense has been strong all season, and the first time these two teams faced off neither team finished with under 60 points. Jacksonville State is averaging 74.1 points, but they are going to really struggle to get going here. I do expect their defense to step up, and Liberty is going to end up being fine playing at a slower pace. This game is going to struggle to get to 125 points. Back the under.
