According to the D1 Docket, Liberty will play host to Maryland Eastern-Shore on November 27, 2021 at Liberty Arena. This is the third confirmed non-conference home date so far for this coming season as the Flames will also host Missouri on December 2 and Delaware State on December 6. Liberty will pay Maryland Eastern-Shore $60,000 for the game, according to the D1 Docket.

Maryland Eastern-Shore did not play during the 2020-21 season, electing not to play amid the COVID pandemic. The Hawks finished 5-27 overall and 4-12 in the MEAC during the 2019-20 campaign in Jason Crafton’s first season as head coach. Liberty is 4-0 all-time against the Hawks, last facing them Nov. 10, 2019 where the Flames won 66-55 in the Vines Center.

The Flames’ schedule is getting closer to being finalized. Additionally, the Flames will play at LSU on Nov. 15, face Stephen F Austin in Dallas on Dec. 11, play East Carolina in Charlotte on Dec. 17, and compete in the Diamond Head Classic in Hawaii Dec. 22-25. In Hawaii, Liberty will face Northern Iowa to begin the Diamond Head Classic and then play either Stanford or Wyoming. Other teams participating in the tournament include BYU, South Florida, Vanderbilt, and Hawaii.

Liberty’s 2021-22 ASUN men’s basketball conference schedule was announced recently, as well. Here’s a look at the Flames’ schedule for this coming season based on games announced. Liberty could play as many as six more non-conference games than what has been announced.
