The Liberty Flames (23-6) head to Middle Tennessee State (20-9) tonight in a Conference USA battle. Both teams are fighting for one of the top spots for the conference tournament. This is important as the only way to get into the NCAA tournament for these teams will be by winning the conference tournament. The Flames have already defeated MTST back in early January. They jumped out to a 17-point lead at the half and never looked back as they won 73-63 at home. Despite being outrebounded 41-34, the Flames used efficient shooting to pick up the win. Most recently, they had a 6-game winning streak snapped by Kennesaw State at home on Sunday. They will need to shake that loss off here on the road against a surging Blue Raiders team. MTST has won 5 of their last 6 games and are currently on a 3-game winning streak. Those 3 wins have not come easy as they have won them by a total of just 10 points. They are susceptible to losing at home as their 3 losses there already prove this. In order to avoid a regular season sweep by Liberty, the Blue Raiders are going to need to force tough shots and keep Liberty from shooting their average of 48.5% from the field, which is 23rd in the country.Limited Offer.

Our Middle Tennessee State Blue Raiders vs Liberty Flames Prediction
Liberty has one of the best shooting percentages from the field and from long range in the country. Their recent loss to Kennesaw St is likely to light a fire under this team heading into what is arguably their most important game of the season before they finish with Western Kentucky who beat them earlier this season. For that final game to mean something, they will need to 1st take care of business tonight against MTST and that is what we expect.
