HAMPDEN-SYDNEY, Va. -- Hampden-Sydney College fourth-year head basketball coach Caleb Kimbrough has announced his program's upcoming 2022-23 Schedule that features 16 Old Dominion Athletic Conference (ODAC) games among 25 regular season contests, along with early-season tournaments away from home in November and December, respectively. The Tigers will open the campaign with a non-conference contest on the road at Greensboro (NC) College on Tuesday, November 8, at 7 p.m. in North Carolina.

"Every year we work to put together a schedule that will best prepare our team for ODAC play," said Kimbrough. "This year is no different. We have a great group of young men this year who are hungry to compete. Our non-league travel will certainly be challenging, but I know our guys are up for the task. We look forward to getting the most out of this team this season!"

Following the Greensboro contest, H-SC will travel to participate in the William Marshall Tip-Off Tournament hosted by Franklin & Marshall College in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. The Tigers will play Alvernia (PA) University on Friday, Nov. 11, and either host Franklin & Marshall or Cairn (PA) University on Saturday, Nov. 12—times to be determined.
