#1 Longwood Wins 2022 Hercules Tires Big South Men's Basketball Championship - Mar 7, 2022 
For the first time in program history, top-seeded Longwood captured the Big South Men's Basketball title and earned the automatic bid in March Madness with its 79-58 win over second-seeded Winthrop Sunday afternoon inside Bojangles' Coliseum.Longwood finds out who it will play in one week, on NCAA Selection Sunday. Spalding MVP Isaiah Wilkins (6'4''-G) had 19 points and 8 rebounds, Leslie Nkereuwem (6'7''-F) added 11 and Longwood outplayed tournament No. 2 seed Winthrop nearly from start to finish. Wilkins played both possessed and utterly cool at both ends of the court in a heart-and-soul performance that made him tournament MVP. After jumping to a 17-6 early lead - a far cry from Saturday's semi-final when Longwood was down 16 early - Longwood punched back after every Winthrop run. After the Eagles cut the lead to 17-10, the Lancers answered with 8 points in 63 seconds - a Nate Lliteras (6'7''-G) 3-pointer, and a Hill running jumper and 3-pointer spaced around two more defensive stops to go up 25-10. Moments later it was Wilkins' turn to take over with a pair powerful driving fast-break layups 15 seconds appoint, followed by a DeShaun Wade (6'2''-G) 3 that extended the lead to 20 3:39 before intermission. The Lancers were up 45-27 at the break. They shot 8-for-10 from 3-point range before halftime and had 22 points off turnovers to Winthrop's two. Winthrop chipped away at points in the second half. After the grueling three-game tournament, Longwood will have to rest and prepare to likely face one of the Top 10 teams in the country. Courtesy of bigsouthsports.com Big South Conf.
