On Tuesday, the ASUN announced a revised men’s basketball schedule as the league looks to limit possible COVID-19 exposure and reduce travel expenses.

All teams will still face each of the other eight ASUN teams twice this season for a total of 16 conference games. However, both matchups against a given opponent will take place during a single weekend at a single location. All ASUN conference games are slated for Thursday and Saturday, beginning on New Year’s Eve.

In the revised schedule, Liberty will begin ASUN Conference play on the road at Lipscomb. In a rematch of the past two ASUN Tournament Championship games, the Flames will begin conference play in Nashville against the Bisons on Dec. 31 and Jan. 2.

Liberty will play their first ASUN home games at the new Liberty Arena on Jan. 7 and Jan. 9 when the Flames host Florida Gulf Coast. The Flames will also play Kennesaw State, North Florida, and Bellarmine at home, with all Thursday ASUN home games scheduled for 7 p.m. and all Saturday ASUN home games scheduled for 2 p.m.

In addition to Lipscomb, Liberty’s road contests in league play include Stetson, Jacksonville, and North Alabama.

Liberty will enter ASUN play with a 17-game home winning streak against conference opponents. The Flames will also be aiming to win 10 or more conference games for the third straight season which has only been achieved one other time in program history (2009-11).

The Flames are scheduled to begin the season no earlier than Nov. 25 as the NCAA has deemed that the start date in the COVID-19 altered season. Liberty’s non-conference schedule has not been released.
