FARMVILLE, Va. \u2013 A home slate that features a major Commonwealth matchup and two games against ACC foes are among the most anticipated games in the Longwood men’s basketball non-conference schedule<\/a>.

\nThe Lancers will host James Madison at the Joan Perry Brock Center in a matchup that features two of the most successful teams in the Commonwealth over the past few seasons.

\nIn addition, Longwood travels to the ACC’s Pitt and Wake Forest, along with a trip to Columbia for a game against an Ivy League foe, as part of a challenging non-conference slate, released by head coach Ronnie Thomas today.
