Former Liberty guard Asia Boone has committed to Kentucky, she announced in an Instagram post.
This news comes just days after Boone had entered the transfer portal. A 5’8″ guard, Boone started all 67 games she played in at Liberty. As a freshman in the 2023-24 season, she averaged 10.1 points on 36.3% shooting from the field (9.4 attempts per game), including 36.8% shooting from 3-point range (5.0 attempts per game). She also chipped in 2.1 assists and 1.2 steals per contest. She was named CUSA Freshman of the Year.
As a sophomore this past season, Boone averaged 10.2 points on 40.3% shooting from the field (8.9 attempts per game), including 36.9% shooting from 3-point range (5.1 attempts per game) to go with 1.4 assists per game and was named second-team all-conference and earned a spot on the CUSA All-Tournament Team.
Boone helped lead Liberty to a 26-7 record this past season. The Lady Flames went 16-2 in Conference USA, earning a share of the league’s regular season title before winning three games in Huntsville, Alabama, including a win over reigning champ Middle Tennessee in the final, to win the conference tournament title. Boone and Liberty faced Kentucky in the Round of 64 of the NCAA Tournament just a couple weeks ago. She only logged five minutes before exiting with a foot injury. Liberty lost to Kentucky, 79-78. Boone had just 1 point and 1 rebound in her 5 minutes of action.
