ST. CHARLES, Mo. — Lindenwood’s men return to Hyland Arena Thursday, November 5, looking for their first basketball victory after opening the season with a 98–59 loss at TCU.

The Lions host Central Bible College at 6 p.m. Both teams enter 0–1, according to Lindenwood’s home-opening preview. The matchup begins a two-game home stretch.

East-West University follows Saturday, November 7, with a 3:30 p.m. start. Lindenwood won the schools’ previous meeting 102–45, but that result belongs to an earlier roster and does not settle Saturday’s contest.

The TCU score leaves a 39-point opening deficit for the Lions to move past. The home games offer a different setting and opponents before Lindenwood’s schedule continues; neither result will erase the season opener.

Thursday and Saturday have different start times. Fans attending the early-season games should use the dates and times for the individual matchup rather than assume both are evening tipoffs.
