FARMVILLE, Va. – Longwood men's basketball returns plenty of experience heading into the 2022-23 men's basketball conference slate, and they will need it against an 18-game gauntlet as the Big South released its conference schedule on Tuesday afternoon.
The reigning Big South champs will attack the full schedule with a roster that includes returning starters Big South Honorable Mention and All-Tournament team member
DeShaun Wade,
Zac Watson,
Jesper Granlund and Big South First Teamer and Tournament MVP
Isaiah Wilkins. Along with those four, the Lancers also return mainstays
Leslie Nkereuwem,
Nate Lliteras and
DA Houston, and they've added impact transfer
Walyn Napper (Southern Mississippi).
Following the non-conference season, which will be released at a later date, the Lancers will dive into conference play. Longwood will square off against the other nine teams in the Big South twice apiece.
The gauntlet begins on Dec. 29 when the Lancers host High Point, and it features plenty of matchups with familiar faces.
Longwood squares off with Winthrop twice in a rematch of the Big South Championship Game. The Lancers host Winthrop on Jan. 7 before making the return trip to Rock Hill, S.C. on Feb. 1.
Other highlights include two matchups with in-state rival Radford. Longwood heads to the Highlanders on Jan. 25 before hosting their Commonwealth counterpart on Feb. 18.
