Update to BPI is that we are 77. This is where we started the year at. Of course our resume is on the 120s meaning our record is much worse than the team is, but basically this team has performed as expected.
The BPI predictor has us finishing second in conference and a decent shot at making the tournament although La Tech is the favorite slightly over us. (They are 76 in the BPI).
This post did not age well. That's not your fault, Kricket...
Liberty is now 6th place in a 9-team conference. Not good. The loss in our most recent game to last place FIU is a bad look. Liberty has won just one of seven road games in conference. Yikes!
I have no reason to believe the Flames will perform well in the conference tournament. My only hope is that the players and coaching staff learn a lot from this season and use the disappointments to catapult to success next year.
1-7 on the road in conference is certainly not what we are accustomed to, but it is not at all atypical in the ASUN this year. Toughest conference in the NCAA to win on the road.
As far as the tourney is concerned, keep in mind, it is on a neutral court. While the final results have not been what we would want, we have demonstrated we can compete with the top teams. We also have more experience in neutral court games than most because of all the tournaments/classics we played in pre-conference (and did very well in).
