The Lindenwood men's basketball team (7-9, 2-1 OVC) will return to Hyland Arena on Saturday for a 3:30 p.m. tipoff against Tennessee State (9-7, 1-2 OVC) for OVC action in St. Charles, Mo.

Lindenwood is coming off of an outstanding come-from-behind win over Little Rock on the road.  The Lions were down by 20 points in the first half, but roared back to earn their second conference victory.  Keenon Cole led the charge, as we went 8-of-10 from the field, including a perfect 5-of-5 from three-point range.  Chris Childs dropped a team-high 23 points, as he was 50 percent from the floor and made all eight of his free-throw attempts, including four in the final 10 seconds.

Lindenwood won its second-consecutive game for the first time this season, as the Lions were previously on a three-game losing skid.  After three conference games, Cole is boasting a scoring average of 17.3 points with 9.0 rebounds per game.  A big part of his success is an outstanding 10-of-11 clip from behind the arc.  Cam Burrell is averaging 11.1 points and 8.0 rebounds per contest, while Childs has collected 14.0 point per game.

Tennessee State enters St. Charles after falling by nine points to SIUE on Thursday.  The Tigers had a pair of 20-point scorers in Jr. Clay (22) and Marcus Fitzgerald Jr. (21).  Clay leads the Tigers with 17.4 points per game, while Fitzgerald Jr. is right behind him with 15.4 points per night.
