The Bulldogs are going to find it difficult to break down Liberty’s defense on Friday. The Flames rank sixth in college hoops in points allowed at 60.8. Opponents only average 41.5% from the field and 32% from three. Liberty’s a legit Sweet 16 contender. They’ll do enough to upset the Bulldogs on the moneyline.
