Lunardi currently has Lipscomb as a 12 seed, which means they're on the edge of an at large. I think Liberty would need to win all but one regular season games to have a shot, so there is really no margin for error, but it's possible.
lol no ASun team is getting in as an at-large this year. Pac 12 probably has a better chance of getting 3-4 teams in than the ASun has at getting two. With Liberty's pathetic SOS and being in the mostly garbage ASun, which is at best an insignificant improvement over the Big South this year, there is little chance they make it as an at-large even if their only loss the rest of the way is in the conference title game.
They have already dropped down to 44th, only the second-ranked ASun team, and beating these ASun teams isn't going to move the needle much when all but three of them have a rank of over 200 and four over 300. Beating UCLA sounds nice because it's UCLA and is still a big accomplishment for the program, but UCLA only ranks 90th in NET. Maybe a new coach will right the ship for them, they certainly have much more talent than their record indicates.
