Head to Head
Teams Last 10
Liberty Flames
The Liberty Flames come into the ASUN championship game on a five-game winning streak. They beat Bellarmine and Eastern Kentucky at home in their first two games of this tournament. But they will need to get a win on the road over Kennesaw State if they want their season to culminate in a trip to the NCAA Tournament.
For the Flames, the question in this game will be whether their defense can stand tall on the road against the Owls. The Flames had no issues putting the ball in the basket against Kennesaw State earlier in the season, scoring 81 points in regulation. But Liberty gave up 88 points in that lone regular season matchup, and they will need to tighten up their defense significantly to reach March Madness.
Kennesaw State Owls
The Kennesaw State Owls come into the Atlantic Sun title game with a 25-8 record. They got the better of Queens University and Lipscomb in the ASUN Tournament, with both of those wins coming at home. Here, they are once again at home, as they are just a home win away from a conference title and a trip to the Big Dance.
Going into this game, the Owls are ranked behind Liberty in offensive and defensive efficiency by Kenpom. But the Kenpom ratings also show that the Owls have played a much more challenging schedule over the course of this season. That could come in handy in the high-pressure environment of this conference championship matchup.
