NEWPORT NEWS, Va. - Two unbeaten Top 25 men's basketball programs converge Tuesday night at the Freeman Center.

The Captains will entertain 23rd-ranked Hampden-Sydney College in a 7:00 p.m. start. The Tigers are 2-0 to start the season.

Christopher Newport is coming off its home opener, an 86-69 home win over Wilson College (Pa.) on Saturday night at the Freeman Center. Fifth-year senior All-American Jahn Hines led the way with 20 points, followed by 15 from sophomore Toa Hollenbeck and ten from sophomore Isaiah Dozer, who also led the team with 14 rebounds.

Hampden-Sydney has won both of its games this year, most recently defeating seventh-ranked Randolph-Macon College, 84-77, last Wednesday at H-SC.
