ANNVILLE, Pa. – The Lebanon Valley College men's basketball team released their 2022-23 schedule which includes seven opponents who qualified for last year's NCAA Tournament. The Dutchmen will play 11 of their 25 games inside Sorrentino Gymnasium while also competing in three different tournaments.
 
Lebanon Valley will begin a challenging slate of games with an exhibition game at Division I Bucknell University on November 7 in Sojka Pavilion. While only counting as an exhibition for the Dutchmen, the game will serve as the season opener for the Bison. The Dutchmen will officially open their season by hosting the annual Rinso Marquette Invitational on November 11 and 12. LVC will play Delaware Valley University on Friday night in the second game and then will face either 2021-22 Atlantic East champion Neumann University or New Jersey City University on Saturday afternoon. The following weekend the squad will play in another tournament that features two reining conference champions. The Dutchmen will play host and Landmark champion Susquehanna University on November 18 before facing either Coast to Coast champion Christopher Newport University or Washington & Lee University on Saturday afternoon. CNU made it all the way to the Elite Eight last year including defeating Susquehanna in the second round before falling to Marietta College
 
The Dutchmen will then host Elizabethtown College on the Tuesday before Thanksgiving before beginning their final season of conference play in the Middle Atlantic Conference Commonwealth with a home game against Albright College on November 30. December begins with a Saturday afternoon road trip up to Wilkes-Barre to take on Wilkes University. The team head down to face York College of Pennsylvania and then host defending conference champion Hood College. LVC will travel to Gwynedd Mercy University before heading home for Christmas break.
 
Right after Christmas the Dutchmen will travel south to sunny Daytona Beach, Florida to play a pair of games against NCAA qualifiers from the Ohio Athletic Conference at the Florida Sunshine Shootout. LVC will face runner-up and at-large bid selection University of Mount Union on December 28 at 7 p.m. before facing OAC champion and Final Four participant Marietta two days later on December 30. The team will finish out the regular season with 13 conference games in 2023 starting with a trip to Stevenson University on January 4. The squad will then host Alvernia University before going on the road for games at Widener University and Messiah University. The first rotation of conference games wraps up with a home game against conference runner-up and NCAA at-large qualifier Eastern University.
