According to CBS Sports college basketball insider Jon Rothstein, Liberty is scheduled to play in a tripleheader in Charlotte on Nov. 13.
Liberty will play East Carolina, while Virginia will face Temple, and Virginia Tech will meet Davidson, in a non-conference basketball event. This will not be a tournament.
