Liberty has started conference play at 13-3 following a split in their two games this past week at Kennesaw State and Jacksonville State. The Flames, picked as the preseason favorite to win the ASUN for a fourth time in five years, continue to be in a tie for first place in the conference alongside Kennesaw State after the Owls were upset on Saturday by Queens.
