NC State has failed to cover five of its last six games. This Flames team has more experience than NC State and can go toe-to-toe with them offensively. They’re currently 5th in the nation from beyond the arc, an area the Wolfpack struggle to defend. NC State does have a size and tempo advantage, but their offense can go stagnant at times. This is the Flames first true road game, but they have played two neutral games against two above average mid-major defenses. Liberty has the continuity and shot-making ability take advantage of a vulnerable NC State defense.
