Longwood Basketball Post-Season Central

A LOOK AT LONGWOOD & LANCER BASKETBALL

Sustained Success
Longwood men’s basketball has posted five straight winning seasons—the program’s first stretch of sustained success like this in more than four decades. What was once a breakthrough is now the expectation.
Back-To-Back
Longwood women’s basketball has recorded consecutive 20-win seasons for the first time since the powerhouse Shirley Duncan era more than two decades ago. A new era of excellence has arrived.
New Leader, Same Standard
In his first season at the helm of Longwood men’s basketball, head coach Ronnie Thomas has already tied for the second-most wins by a first-year coach in program history—joining Griff Aldrich in the record book.
Depth That Delivers
It’s not just a starting five—it’s a full roster that impacts winning. Longwood women’s basketball ranks fourth in the nation in bench scoring, averaging more than 30 points per game from its reserves.

Presswood
For the second straight season, Longwood women’s basketball ranks seventh in the nation in steals, turning relentless pressure into instant offense. When Longwood forces a turnover, it usually turns into two points the other way.
Team United
After a 22-win season, Longwood women’s basketball didn’t lose a single player to the transfer portal—a rarity in today’s game and almost unheard of outside the Power 4.
A Venerable Institution
Longwood may be a new(er) star on the college basketball scene, but it’s one of America’s hundred-oldest colleges, with an idyllic campus and devoted alumni. Here’s everything you need to know about Longwood.
The Heart of Virginia
Longwood’s home town, Farmville, may not be what you picture from the name. Instead, it’s a proud, charming and historic two-college town that has no doubt rallied to the Lancers this year.
