Coming off a 5-18 season that saw the Storm go 5-10 in the North Eastern Athletic Conference, the Keuka College men’s basketball team will open the 2012-13 season on the road in the annual Gettysburg (Pa.) College Tip-Off Tournament, Nov. 16-17.
The Storm is led third-year head coach Thad Phillips, and Keuka will make its 2012-13 debut against host Gettysburg at 6 p.m. Friday night, Nov. 16 before playing either Kenyon College or Rowan University on the second day of the Tip-Off Tournament.
The Green and Gold then takes on Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT) in the home opener at 8 p.m., Nov. 20 before facing Hilbert College at 8 p.m., Nov. 26.
The Storm travels to Hartwick College for a 7 p.m. clash on Nov. 30 before opening NEAC play with an 8 p.m. home game against Morrisville State on Dec. 5. The Mustangs captured the NEAC regular season and postseason titles last year before losing in the first round of the NCAA Division III tournament.

Keuka kicks off the 2013 portion of the schedule with three straight road games: at Penn State-Berks (Jan. 6); at Lancaster Bible College (Jan. 7); and at Houghton College (Jan. 9).
When the Storm plays Gallaudet (D.C.) University at 3 p.m. on Jan. 12, that game starts a crucial stretch of seven of the next nine games at home between Jan. 12 and Feb. 6. During that stretch, Keuka hosts Penn State-Harrisburg (Jan. 13), Wells College (Jan. 16), SUNYIT (Jan. 26), SUNY Cobleskill (Jan. 27), Penn State-Abington (Feb. 3) and Cazenovia College (Feb. 6) while traveling to Cazenovia (Jan. 23) and Morrisville State (Jan. 30).
The Green and Gold closes out the regular season at SUNYIT (Feb. 9) and at Wells (Feb. 16), while the annual NEAC postseason tournament runs Feb. 23-24, 2013.
