On Sunday, March 10, 2024, the Longwood Lancers cruised to an 85-59 win over UNC-Asheville to earn their second Men's Basketball Big South Conference tournament championship in three years. Trey Hicks was rehabbing a knee injury and planned to watch the game from the sidelines. But with Elijah Tucker out with a leg injury and Johan Nziemi disqualified early in the second half, Trey volunteered to play and sacrificed a year of eligibility. Trey describes his Longwood journey from the joy of earning a basketball scholarship and advancing to the NCAA Tournament to the lows of season altering injuries.
