RICHMOND, Ky.

The Bucs will play eight of their next nine games on the road, a month-long stretch that will include trips to Auburn, Morehead State, Vanderbilt, the South Padre Island Invitational, and an Atlantic Sun Conference swing to Mercer and Stetson.

For the first time since 1987, the Bucs starting lineup in the season opener included three true freshman, meaning this trip to EKU will be the first real test for the young squad.
