2025 Tournament PreviewIn his second season, coach Ritchie McKay led Liberty to the C-USA regular-season and tournament titles, earning an NCAA Tournament bid for the first time since 2021. Simply put, the Flames can shoot the lights out. A whopping 47.7 percent of their field-goal attempts are from distance, and they convert at the fifth-highest rate in the country (39.0 percent). Liberty also limits opponents to just 28 percent from three-point range, the third lowest. Leading scorers Taelon Peter (13.9 ppg) and Kaden Metheny (13.5 ppg) have cashed 75 and 99 three-pointers, respectively, with Peter shooting a team-high 46.0 percent and Metheny 39.0. Four others have hit at least 20 treys, with three converting at more than 40 percent. Oddly, sharpshooting Liberty is poor from the charity stripe (65.4%, 348th). It also has a bottom-5 offensive rebounding rate, so the shots better fall. Liberty's first-round matchup will be the first Quad 1 opponent it has played this season.
