[LU Armchair coach]

Liberty MBB rolls into New Mexico State with momentum. The Flames are confident, connected on both ends, and have already proven they can win close games when it matters. NM State will be tough at home, but Liberty’s discipline, shooting, and depth are the difference. The Flames flew west Monday with one focus: business. No distractions—just preparation, the Ritchie McKay way.

LU Armchair Coach prediction: 77–70 Flames.
15 straight. 13–0 in conference.
