Liberty vs. UTEP Prediction

I’m on Liberty here. Normally I want the team on my side that’s going to hit their free throws, and Liberty’s the worst free throw team in CUSA. However, the Flames are rock solid offensively and also own the best three-point defense in the country, which is where UTEP likes to do a lot of their work. The Flames are rolling right now and are back to looking like the team we all expected to lead the way in CUSA and I think they get the win and cover on the road here. Give me Liberty.

Chris Ruffolo's Pick: Liberty -1.5
