FARMVILLE, Va. – Longwood Men’s Basketball Head Coach Griff Aldrich revealed the team’s 15-game non-conference schedule today.
 
The Lancers, the reigning Big South Champions for the second time in three seasons, will begin their run to defend their title and advance to March Madness in November.
 
The non-conference schedule features eight home games in the Joan Perry Brock Center and seven outside of Farmville, including a trip to the U.S. Virgin Islands for the Paradise Jam on November 22-25.
 
In the 15 games, Longwood will face off against foes from more than seven conferences, with teams from the ACC, American Athletic Conference, CAA, Horizon League and more.
 
The month of November is busy, with a host of home games that begins on opening night when the Lancers host Randolph College on November 4.
 
Longwood then welcomes Morgan State to the Joan Perry Brock Center on November 9 for a major highlight during Homecoming weekend at the University.
 
The Lancers wrap up the four-game homestand with Milwaukee (November 13) and UT-Martin (November 16) before hitting the road.
 
A four-game stretch away from home follows, with a trip to Binghamton on November 19 kicking things off.
 
The team then heads to St. Thomas in the U.S. Virgin Islands for the Paradise Jam in the 25^th edition of the classic tournament. Longwood will open the tournament on ESPN against fellow March Madness foe UAB on November 22, with two more games to follow over the next few days. Other teams in the field include Liberty, Kansas State, Illinois State, McNeese State, Louisiana, and George Washington.
 
In December, Longwood returns home to host four straight games. To open the month, the Lancers play Regent (December 1) before hosting both the University of Maryland Eastern Shore (December 5) and Mary Baldwin (December 8).
 
The homestand concludes with a matchup against North Carolina Central on December 14, the first of two meetings between the two teams for a second straight year.
 
Longwood then closes non-conference play with three straight road affairs, with a trip to former Big South foe Campbell to begin the gauntlet on December 18 and a return trip to North Carolina Central (December 20). One final non-conference tilt awaits afterwards with a trip to SMU on December 28.
