What to Know

The California Baptist Lancers and the Long Beach State Beach are opening their 2022-2023 seasons against one another at 10 p.m. ET Monday at CBU Events Center.

Long Beach State ended up 20-13 last season and got to the first round of the NIT before being knocked out by the Brigham Young Cougars 93-72.

The Lancers are the favorite in this one, with an expected 4.5-point margin of victory. A victory is hardly a sure thing, especially this early in the season, so expect a good game.
