Pick

I’m sticking with Liberty here. The Flames have been one of the best in the ASUN this season, and while I do like what FGCU brings to the table here, I just can’t help but notice a lot of the struggles they’ve had on the road this season, including conference play and those issues aren’t ones you want going on the road to take on Liberty, who are outscoring teams by 18.4 PPG in their last 5 games. I’ll lay it and play it with Liberty here.
