Panthers travel to Lindenwood for second game of 2020-21
Two days after finally playing their season-opener, the Drury Panthers travel to Lindenwood for their second game of the season.
Â
Drury lost their opener on Friday in a 96-89 loss to Missouri S&T at the O'Reilly Family Event Center. The Panthers had their first five games of the season postponed due to a positive COVID-19 test by one member of the squad. They were the last team in the Great Lakes Valley Conference to open the season.
Â
Lindenwood is 4-1 and is coming off an 84-72 win at 25th ranked Missouri-St. Louis on Friday. The only loss the Lions have suffered so far this year was a 76-63 setback at home to 18th ranked Truman State on Dec. 12.
Â
Sunday's game will only be the third meeting all-time between the two programs. Drury is 2-0 against the Lions in their history. In addition to last year's game, an 83-62 win for DU at the O' on Jan. 11, the Panthers have an 88-76 win against Lindenwood on Nov. 26, 1993, at Weiser Gym. Sunday's contest will be Drury's first-ever game at Lindenwood.
Â
Following Sunday's game, the Panthers will be idle until Jan. 3, when they host Maryville for a 3:15 pm game at the O'Reilly Family Event Center.
