Three-point prowess on display Metheny accumulated 21 points (7-15 FG, 5-10 3Pt, 2-2 FT), one rebound, three assists and one steal across 33 minutes during Saturday's 79-67 victory over Jacksonville State. Impact Metheny hit five triples in the Conference USA title game after draining seven in the semifinals. With that kind of perimeter shooting, all it could take for Liberty to put a better team on upset notice in the NCAA Tournament's first round could be for the Flames' second-leading scorer to start feeling it from downtown. Shooting 39 percent from beyond the arc on the season (on 7.7 three-pointers attempted per-game, no less), Methany can help Liberty close gaps in a hurry and extend leads quickly with a barrage of perimeter shooting.
