Liberty University Athletics issued the following announcement on Aug. 6
Liberty men's basketball head coach Ritchie McKay has announced that the men's basketball program will take a five-day foreign tour to Puerto Rico, from Aug.6-10. The trip features three exhibition games against the LBP All Stars and UCB.
This will be Liberty's first foreign trip since 2016, when Liberty made its way to Costa Rica. Every four years, the NCAA permits teams to embark on a foreign tour and gain experience by competing against international teams in exhibition games. Leading up to the trip, teams are allowed 10 practices.
Liberty returns three starters from last year's squad including ASUN Player of the Year, Darius McGhee. The Flames went 23-6 and appeared in the NCAA Tournament for the second straight season. Liberty looks to incorporate six newcomers during its trip to Puerto Rico in Stephen Burggraf, Gabriel McKay, DJ Moore, Brody Peebles, Bryson Spell and Joseph Venzant.
The exhibition games will not be televised but be sure to follow Liberty men's basketball social media for exclusive coverage of the Flames' visit to Puerto Rico.
