The Lindenwood Men's Basketball team is coming off back-to-back wins over Central Bible University and East-West University last Thursday and Saturday. The Lions held both opponents to under 50 points while scoring at least 100 points in each contest. In Thursday's 120-46 victory over Central Bible, the Lions set a new Division I era program record for points scored in a single game, marking the most points scored under head coach Kyle Gerdeman.

Several Lions also recorded career-high performances throughout the two contests, including Kellen Robinson, Makhan Diouf, and Malek Archie. Robinson made his collegiate debut against the Saints on Thursday, scoring 16 points off the bench while shooting 70% from the floor and converting both of his three point attempts. Diouf and Archie followed Robinson's career-high performance by recording the first double-doubles of their respective careers in Saturday's 115-44 win over East-West University. Diouf led the Lions with a team-high 18 points and grabbed 10 rebounds, while Archie finished with 14 points and a career-high 10 rebounds in just 20 minutes of action. Parker Seithel also reached a career high with 11 rebounds in the contest against the Phantoms on Saturday as well.
