Liberty has advanced to Sunday’s ASUN Championship game, the third consecutive season the Flames will be playing for a conference championship. If the Flames should lose Sunday and not advance to the NCAA Tournament, Liberty would have an automatic berth into the NIT.
Of course, we’re not here to talk about the NIT, we’re here to talk about Liberty’s NCAA Tournament bracket projections.
This week, Liberty is being projected in all 81 brackets included on Bracket Matrix and being pegged anywhere from a 12 to a 14 seed with an average of 12.59.

PlayoffStatus.com gives Liberty a 61% chance to make the NCAA Tournament. The Flames are most likely to receive a 12-seed according to this metric, as Liberty has a 44% chance at a 12-seed and a 16% chance at an 11-seed.
With Liberty’s loss last Saturday to Lipscomb, the Flames seem to be trending towards a 12-seed as being most likely. An at-large seems to be pretty much out of the equation. Must win Sunday.
