Before making any Liberty vs. Lipscomb picks of your own, be sure to check out the 2019 ASUN Tournament championship predictions from the SportsLine projection model.

This model, which simulates every game 10,000 times, has raked in the winnings for those following its picks. During the past two years, the SportsLine Projection Model has returned nearly $4,200 to $100 players on its top-rated college basketball picks. It also entered Week 18 of the 2018-19 college basketball season on a strong 111-87 run against the spread. Anyone who has followed it is way up. 

Now the model has dialed in on Liberty vs. Lipscomb. We can tell you it is leaning over, and it also has a strong against-the-spread pick that cashes in over 60 percent of simulations. That one is available only at SportsLine.

The model knows Lipscomb is 3-1 all-time vs. Liberty and looking for its second successive trip to the NCAA Tournament. The Bisons have won two Atlantic Sun regular-season titles and one tournament championship.

Lipscomb, which set a program record for victories this season, is led by senior guard Garrison Mathews (19.8 ppg), who has been on a tear of late. He had 26 against Kennesaw State and amassed 32 points versus NJIT. Senior forward Rob Marberry (14.6 ppg) has also been hot, scoring 22 against both North Alabama and Liberty.

But just because the Bison are the defending tournament champs doesn’t mean they’ll cover the Liberty vs. Lipscomb spread on Sunday. 

That’s because Liberty — in its inaugural season in the Atlantic Sun after leaving the Big South — has been equally hot. The Flames have won four in a row and nine of their past 10.

For the second time in school history and first time since 1991-92, the Flames finished the regular season having not lost back-to-back games. Senior forward Scottie James (12.5 ppg) helped power the Flames into the title game, scoring 24 points against North Florida in a semifinal Thursday. He had 15 at Lipscomb last month.
