The senior made domination look easy, his almost double-double was accompanied by a stingy defense that helped hold opposing shooters to just 40.6 percent from the floor. After fouling out in the loss to Loyola the game prior to this, Freeman-Liberty was in need of a bounce-back performance. This was just that.

Impact Freeman-Liberty recorded his second double-double of this season and still found time to score a career-high 33 points. The senior hustled for eight rebounds in the first half but couldn't find his stride scoring until the second half. With the game still close and only seven minutes remaining, he took the lead on a layup and immediately extended it with back-to-back three-point shots. Freeman-Liberty wasn't done there, he scored 14 points in the final four minutes of the game to put any comeback chances on ice. He has averaged 24.8 points, 9.3 rebounds, and 5.3 assists through the first four games this season.

Impact Freeman-Liberty had assists in each half and wasn't afraid to find the open man in key situations. He was primarily a passer when the game was close as the senior's seven assists helped elevate four of his teammates to double-digit scoring. He then went on to prove he was still a scoring threat by scoring 14 points in the second half. He will look to stay hot and keep his team involved against Rutgers on Thursday.

Sets season-high in points in loss Freeman-Liberty recorded 22 points (7-11 FG, 0-1 3PT, 8-9 FT), four rebounds, four assists and two steals in 37 minutes in the 76-68 loss to Seton Hall on Saturday.

Impact Freeman-Liberty was the sole reason DePaul made an effort in the loss Saturday. The guard carried the Blue Demons in the scoring department and added a few extras along the way. Since DePaul's first game of the season, Freeman-Liberty has gotten consistent minutes, but had not been consistently producing. Look for a possible turn in fortunes with the newly found form.

Impresses in DePaul opener Freeman-Liberty had 19 points (8-12 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 1-2 FT) to go along with eight rebounds, six assists and three steals in 33 minutes in Wednesday's victory over Western Illinois.

Impact Freeman-Liberty was granted immediate eligibility for the Blue Demons this season but had yet to see the court following the cancellation of DePaul's first four games. He was the second-leading scorer in this one only to Charlie Moore, but his four-category production made him the best fantasy asset. Being able to sustain this will likely depend on the availability of the rest of the team, as Darious Hall and Romeo Weems were out for this contest due to COVID-19 protocol, while Markese Jacobs continues to rehab a knee injury suffered last season. There may be less touches for Freeman-Liberty when that group returns, but the Valpo transfer still seems like a safe bet to stay in the starting five and be a key contributor this season.

The 6-4 guard started every game for Valparaiso last year, averaging 19.0 points, 6.1 rebounds and 3.2 assists over 33.2 minutes per contest.
