BOX SCORE

SALEM, Va. -- Sophomore guard Tugg Bizzelle (Baltimore, MD) scored 12 points off the bench, and sophomore guard Peter Moye (Charlotte, NC) added eight points, four rebounds and two assists, but Hampden-Sydney College dropped a 69-41 decision to nationally-ranked No. 1 Randolph-Macon College in the 2026 Old Dominion Athletic Conference (ODAC) Men's Basketball Tournament Semifinals on Friday evening at the Salem Civic Center in Salem. The #4 seed Tigers led 27-26 at halftime, but the #1 seed Yellow Jackets outscored the Garnet & Grey 43-14 in the second half for the win. H-SC completes its season with a final record of 17-10, while RMC improved to 25-2, and was led by Theo Antinori with a game-high 15 points off the bench and 13 points from Malcolm Hodges.

"I'm proud of this group," said seventh-year head coach Caleb Kimbrough. "Fighting for a four seed and making it to the semifinals of the ODAC Tournament is not easy, and we did it with a young group that grew up a lot this season. But I also want to be clear … it's not okay to lose the way we did today. It's not okay to fall short of the standard we've set in this program. We don't measure ourselves by effort alone. We measure ourselves by growth and by results. The encouraging part is that we're not far. This season built something. Our young core now understands what this stage feels like. They understand the physicality, the detail, the toughness required to win in March. Adversity either exposes you or prepares you. I believe it prepared us. This one hurts and it should hurt. That means we care. But this program isn't defined by one season. It's defined by how we respond. We'll take this personally. We'll grow from it. And we'll be back."
