The Liberty Flames (7-4) return to Liberty Arena on Monday to take on Grambling State (6-4) in the final Division I regular season non-conference game for the Flames this season..
This game will be much more challenging for Liberty than originally anticipated when it was scheduled. The Tigers have already won more non-conference games than they have in any of the previous three campaigns, including marquee wins against Colorado and Vanderbilt. Three of their losses have come against top 100 teams, all on the road, against Grand Canyon, Arizona State, and Virginia Tech.
Grambling has been in Virginia the past couple days, as they played in Blacksburg on Saturday afternoon. They lost to the Hokies, 74-48.
