St. THOMAS, VIRGIN ISLANDS, January 9, 2026 – The University of the Virgin Islands (UVI) men's basketball team is preparing for a three-game road swing in South Carolina. The Buccaneers will play three games in four days as they take on Morris College, Clinton College, and wrap up their road trip with a matchup against Voorhees University.
UVI (2-7) returns to action for the first time since its December 17 clash with Olivet Nazarene University at the Seahawk Christmas Classic in West Palm Beach, Florida, hosted by Keiser University.
The Buccaneers, who are currently 0-3 in away games this season, look to turn the tide in their favor with the opportunity to even their record on the road.
The Buccaneers' first opportunity to secure a road victory this season will be against Morris College in Sumter, South Carolina, on January 9 at 7:30 p.m. EST. The matchup will mark the first time that the two teams have faced off since the 2022-23 season, where the Buccaneers emerged victorious 81-76.
The following day, they will travel to Rock Hill, South Carolina, for a 3:00 p.m. battle with the Clinton College Bears. The last time these two teams met was in a double overtime thriller at the 2023 YES USVI HBCU Classic, with Clinton narrowly escaping with a 92-90 win.
On January 12, the Buccaneers will conclude their road trip by facing Voorhees University at the Leonard E. Dawson Health and Human Resource Center in Denmark, South Carolina. The familiar foes are both members of the Historically Black Colleges and Universities Athletic Conference (HBCUAC). Tip-off is scheduled for 6:00 p.m.
