Roberts has the Johnnies scheduled for a touring trip through Canada in September. It's common practice for a coach to schedule such a trip when he believes his team is on the cusp of a breakthrough season.

"The trip can really help us integrate the new guys so that maybe we're a little ahead of schedule when the season starts," Roberts said. "The other important thing is to get Anthony Mason some games because he's coming back from (an ankle) injury. Those games should help him a lot."

Had we seen this announced before ? Does this take place of Mexico 2 years ago ?

When do they release dates / details ?

I believe the same team beat Virginia last season.
We have to get Virginia on the schedule.

They attempted to do this in Mexico but had to cancel the trip b/c of a Hurricane.
