Games against Clemson, Virginia, George Mason and the Findlay Toyota Las Vegas Classic highlight the 2008-09 Liberty men’s basketball schedule, as announced by head coach Ritchie McKay.

“Our 2008-09 schedule came together very well,” said McKay. “I was excited we were able to create some balance in our schedule, however with an inexperienced team that will have seven freshmen, we will have some major challenges during the non-conference portion of our schedule, which ultimately will accelerate our growth process.”

The contract with Clemson includes the Tigers making a return trip to the Vines Center, marking the first ACC school to play the Flames in Lynchburg. Virginia Tech played in the Vines Center prior to their ACC days.

sweet

[jcmanson]

I guess Davidson fell through the cracks

[JDUB]

2 ACC teams and George Mason. They'll get to see some good competition fast, and I assume we'll make some decent dinero from those games too?

[sweetnahmah1]

I guess Davidson fell through the cracks

Yeah what happened?

[SuperJon]

Preseason NIT I think.

[sweetnahmah1]

ok

and a Big East team

[jcmanson]

We play a conference game (G-W) 12/6 at home and then travel to Clemson to play on 12/7.

[SuperJon]

Ok, this was dumb. I posted before realizing they took pictures of all of the new players too.

[LUconn]

Our 2nd game is a conference game. That's so retarded.

[jcmanson]

Nov 14-15 is turning into a pretty good weekend. Women open their season at home against VCU to open the WNIT, the men start their season, and then our final conference football game.

[bigsmooth]

SJ had it pegged about davidson. i remember the first time LU went to littlejohn back in the day. that is a cool arena.

So bball plays d1 already, before Clemson, etc?

[LUconn]

Liberty plays in division 1. Please pull up a chair and stick around a while.

[tinytim]

I feel like a dufus. thanks for the insight.

[jcmanson]

Don't feel bad, unfortunately many people around the 'burg think we are not D1, but we are and in every sport.

[tinytim]

Awesome, thanks for your understanding

Don't feel bad, unfortunately many people around the 'burg think we are not D1, but we are and in every sport except hockey

Don't feel bad, unfortunately many people around the 'burg think we are not D1, but we are and in every sport except hockey which isn't a university sport so never mind

Don't feel bad, unfortunately many people around the 'burg think we are not D1, but we are and in every sport except hockey which isn't a university sport so never mind, except for the fact that it is played on campus by only students of the university and, for someone who thinks that basketball is not D1, this could be a potential area of confusion
