Liberty’s baseball team is currently in Fort Myers, Florida where the Flames will look to bring home the ASUN conference tournament championship and secure its spot in the 2022 NCAA Tournament.
Should Liberty falter this weekend in Fort Myers, the Flames will have a very compelling case to be included in the NCAA Tournament as an at-large team. Certainly head coach Scott Jackson and his team are focused on winning the conference championship this week, but with the NCAA Tournament field being announced on Monday, here’s a look at how Liberty’s resume stacks up against several of the teams that are considered to be on the bubble.
The Division I NCAA Tournament field will be officially unveiled on Monday, May 30 at noon eastern on ESPN2.
