History
Men’s basketball at Longwood University has become the school’s most visible
and popular intercollegiate athletic program since playing its first game in
1976. During the program’s 35-year existence, the Lancers have earned over
465 victories. The program quickly established itself as a force, advancing
to the Division III Final Four. The following season, Longwood reclassified to
Division II, earning three more appearances in NCAA postseason tournaments
(1994,1995, 2001); posting 12 winning seasons, including three 20-win
campaigns.
