The Northern Arizona University men's basketball team will head to the Caribbean for a foreign tour that will feature three games against Bahamian opponents. The Lumberjacks will be fully immersed in an unfamiliar country, have to interact with people from various backgrounds and experience a culture different from their own.

The three-game schedule in Nassau will begin on Thursday, August 16 when the 'Jacks play IBA Elite in a 3 p.m. MST tip. NAU will follow with a match up against Star Basketball Club on Friday, August 17 at 4:30 p.m. MST before wrapping up the set of games on Sunday, August 19 vs. Providence Storm at 2 p.m. MST.

"We are excited for this opportunity to take our team overseas to the Bahamas," NAU head coach Jack Murphy said. "This trip will allow us to play some solid competition and for the players to enjoy some quality team bonding moments which will be a benefit as we enter the 2018-19 season."

NAU returns a total of 10 players from last season's squad and is joined by six newcomers, including three junior college transfers, one Division I transfer and a pair of incoming high school signees.
