Shane’s Free Pick
These two teams just faced off and it was Liberty that secured the 99-61 victory. Liberty’s defense was quite impressive in that game, but I’m not so sold that they are going to be able to do that again here. The Aces are an elite offensive team and they are going to have no issue running up the score here. The Aces are going to get their revenge here. Back Las Vegas against the spread.
