What happened: Betnijah Laney-Hamilton knocked down a 23-foot three-point jumper with 6:05 left in the fourth quarter, assisted by Marine Johannes. The make pulled the score to 61-83. The shot came late in a game that was already a comfortable margin.

Why it matters: Down 22 with the clock under seven minutes, the triple was more about closing the gap on paper than changing the outcome. For Laney-Hamilton, every catch-and-shoot rep matters as she continues to anchor the Liberty's perimeter rotation. Johannes feeding into a clean three reflects the ball movement the offense leans on when sets break down.

What to watch: Watch whether Laney-Hamilton sees the rest of the fourth quarter or if the Liberty bench empties early given the 22-point deficit. Garbage-time minutes could open looks for rotation pieces.
