Oregon basketball vs. Liberty live score: March Madness prediction, where to watch
Oregon basketball vs. Liberty live score: March Madness prediction, where to watch It's been a long wait for the Oregon Ducks and Liberty Flames, but their respective starts to the 2025 NCAA Tournament are almost here. In the final game of the first round, both the Ducks and Flames will look to keep their season alive and advance to the second round, played on Sunday in Seattle. After a strong finish to the season, winning eight of their final nine games, Dana Altman and the Ducks enter this game as a favorite, according to the betting line and the tournament seed line. Led by dynamic big man Nate Bittle, Oregon's paint presence and strong defense should be fully displayed in a game where size could be the ultimate difference against Liberty. Meanwhile, the Flames pose a serious threat, especially in March. They got hot near the end of the season and went on to win the Conference USA Championship, clinching an automatic bid into the tournament. Regarding potential upset bids, the Flames fit the billing as a team that could shoot their way into the second round. This past season, Liberty hit 39% of their 3-pointers, which ranks as the seventh-best mark in the nation. Should they get hot on Friday night against the Ducks, it could have some fans pointing to them as a Cinderella candidate in the tournament. A game between No. 5 and No. 12 seeds in the tournament is always fun for fans, as it has produced many upsets over the years. This year, No. 12 Colorado State upset No. 5 Memphis, and No. 12 McNeese upset No. 5 Clemson. Oregon hopes to stop the recent trend and advance into the Round of 32.

While the Flames take and make as many 3-pointers as anyone in the country, if Oregon is able to spread their defense and contest shots, it will allow their size to take over the game.

Time, TV schedule for March Madness game The most anticipated four-day stretch in college athletics is finally here, with the 2025 NCAA Tournament getting underway on Thursday morning. For the Oregon Ducks, it is a long wait for their first-round game against the Liberty Flames to tip-off, seeing as they will play in the final game of the first round on Friday night. It should be a fun game for Duck fans, many of whom will be traveling up to Seattle for the game to root on their team. The matchup on the floor will be entertaining as well, with the styles of play contrasting in a way between Oregon and Liberty that could lead to a lot of fireworks. Liberty is a team that is going to try and shoot the lights out if nothing else. They have made 39% of their 3-pointers this year, which ranks as the sixth-best in the nation. However, size is an issue for them, as no player on the Flames' roster stands taller than 6-foot-8. Meanwhile, Oregon is built with size, led by 7-footer Nate Bittle, who has been playing the best basketball of his career this season. In a 5-vs-12 game, potential upsets always loom, but the Ducks are considered favorites for a reason.
