The Hampden-Sydney men’s basketball team came in No. 25 nationally in this week’s D3hoops.com Top 25 ranking. The awards didn’t stop there, as junior Davidson Hubbard was named to the D3hoops.com Team of the Week for games played January 16-22.

It’s the first time that the Tigers have been ranked in the Top 25 since December 1, 2013 (No. 20).

Hubbard averaged 25.0 points and 12.0 rebounds with two double-doubles during road wins at Randolph and Salisbury (MD) last week.
