Group 2
Longwood

Florida A&M
Presbyterian
The match-ups at this point are still unclear. The Lancers will head on the road to face two teams from Group 1, which should be announced soon. After the two initial match-up Longwood will travel to Las Vegas to take on either Cornell or Florida A&M in the four team, division tournament. One interesting tidbit is this tournament could mean a potential second game versus Presbyterian next season. Right now the Lancers are only set to play the cross-divisional Blue Hose once. If the match up plays out it would likely not count towards Big South standings.
This will be the Lancers fifth trip to either of the two Las Vegas tournaments. Their last trip to the Las Vegas Invitational resulted in a loss Southeast Missouri State and a win over Delaware State. The Lancers are 4–4 all-time in Las Vegas.
