2/27/2019 12:00:00 AM | Men's Basketball
Liberty's historic season has reached the end of the regular season as the Flames travel to NJIT for the final game of the regular season before heading into the ASUN Championship. Liberty will look to make history and become the first team in school history to reach 10 true road wins as they face an NJIT team who is also having a historic season with a school record 20 wins. A win for Liberty would at least give the Flames a share of the ASUN regular season title with Lipscomb as both teams sit in a tie for first place at 13-2.
