HAMPDEN-SYDNEY, Va. -- Hampden-Sydney College, ranked No. 16 in the latest D3hoops.com Top 25 and No. 2 in Region VI of the all-important NCAA Division III Regional Rankings, has earned the No. 2 seed for the 2023 Old Dominion Athletic Conference (ODAC) Men's Basketball Tournament, and will play a Quarterfinal game on Friday night, February 24, at 6 p.m. at the Salem Civic Center in Salem. The Tigers will play the winner of a first round contest between No. 7 seed Virginia Wesleyan University and No. 10 seed Shenandoah University. All H-SC games throughout the tournament will be broadcast and can be heard locally on WVHL Radio, Kickin' Country 92.9 FM, and will also be available worldwide on the Internet at wvhl.net or via the TuneIn Radio App, pre-game airing 30 minutes prior to tip-off—each game will be available to watch, as well, on the ODAC Sports Network.

The Tigers of fourth-year head coach Caleb Kimbrough finished their regular season with an overall record of 20-5, including 14-2 in the ODAC—equaling their highest seed for the tournament since 2013. H-SC completed the regular season with 18 wins in its last 20 games. The Tigers are enjoying their finest season in 10 years, recently attaining its highest national ranking, while ranked second in the latest NCAA Regional Rankings. In addition, the NCAA announced its Top 16 overall seeds as of Feb. 16, and H-SC was at No. 11. The Tigers' 20 overall wins, as well as the 14 conference wins, are the most under Coach Kimbrough. It's also the program's highest win totals since 2012-13 (23-5, 14-2)—the last season that H-SC advanced to the NCAA Tournament—while only the fourth 20-win season for the Tigers in the last 20 years.
