The Liberty Flames are a fun team to watch, as they love to run the floor and often consider defense to be an afterthought, but that approach should be successful at home tonight when they host the James Madison Dukes in the quarterfinals of the College Insider Tournament.

The Flames overwhelmed Rider 79-64 in the first round of this tournament in a game that was not even that close, as Liberty built up a lead of more than 20 points in the first half and maintained it most of the way.

According to the Pomeroy Ratings, Liberty averages 1.043 points per possession on 65.9 possessions per game, mainly because they rank 25 in the entire country in two-point field goal percentage at 52.9 percent. It is no fluke that this team is now 23-11 overall, including 15-2 here at home where the Flames are outscoring their opponents by an average of +6.6 points, more than good enough to cover this small number.

This makes for a tough matchup for James Madison, as they rank 206 in the country in two-point field goal percentage defense at 48.8 percent, and we just do not see how they can slow down the Liberty offense here. Sure, the Dukes have a winning road record of 7-6 straight up, but they do not face any teams that resemble the style that the Flames plays as they come out of the more deliberate Colonial Athletic Association.

Look for the home team to run James Madison off the court here tonight.
