Fargo's CBB Saturday Five Banger (6-5 YTD)

Analysis: This is a play on the LIBERTY FLAMES as part of our CBB Saturday Five Banger. This is the second game in the Field of 68 Tip-Off and the first for Liberty which has opened the season 3-0 and this will already be their third game away from home. The Flames were the biggest disappointment in C-USA last season as they were picked to contend but finished 7-9, part of 18 wins overall and it snapped an eight-season run of at least 20 wins. They look to start a new streak this season led by a pair of All C-USA players and most importantly, they have already learned how to win on the road where it won just twice all of last season. This is also a fade of Florida Atlantic as it is coming off a game less than 24 hours before this tip as it lost in double overtime to College of Charleston so this is a tough bounce back game especially being favored. This is also a team in rebuild mode as head coach Dusty May is gone as he has departed for Michigan and replacing him is John Jakus, a former Baylor and Gonzaga assistant. The Owls lost 10 players from last year, three to graduation and seven to the portal so give them credit for the strong performance last night but tonight will be different. 10* (651) Liberty Flames
