Key Stats & Notes
Thoughts from Head Coach Ritchie McKay
"Great to see our students out tonight. It was great to see Caleb (Homesley) out there tonight, moving freely, which hasn't happened in a while. I wanted to give him a few minutes to shake off the rust. He had an impact on the game and did a really good job."
Up Next
Liberty will close out the week on the road when they travel to Phoenix, Ariz. to compete in the Jerry Colangelo Classic against Grand Canyon. Tipoff is set for 6:30 p.m. ET on Sunday and can be seen on ESPNU.
