On Tuesday, I joined the Fast Lane with Ed Lane to discuss several Liberty Athletics related topics including baseball in the CUSA Tournament, men’s basketball non-conference scheduling, and the expansion of the NCAA Tournament to 76 teams
Our conversation centered around:
- How much of Liberty men’s basketball’s participation in the Wilmington, North Carolina Thanksgiving tournament a primer for CUSA play?
- Does the NCAA Tournament expanding to 76 teams create optimism Liberty can craft a stronger men’s basketball schedule?
- Is the expanded NCAA Tournament an effort to “get the smaller schools out of the way” by putting them in play-in games?
- What’s more likely to benefit Liberty Flames athletics: an expanded NCAA Tournament to 76 teams or expanded College Football Playoff to 24 teams?
- How can the Flames distinguish themselves in the CUSA Baseball Tournament?
