NASHVILLE, Tenn. - The Kennesaw State play their second Atlantic Sun Conference game of the season on Saturday afternoon, when they take on the Lipscomb Bisons beginning at 1 p.m. EST.
The Owls (2-4) will be trying to snap and two-game slide and bounce back from a difficult, 52-98 loss at Belmont on Thursday night, surrendering the first 11 points of the game to lose their footing early on. While they were a respectable, 20-for-50 from the floor (40.0 percent), with Markeith Cummings leading the way with a 21-point effort, the Black and Gold were stymied by Belmont's spectacular ball control, dishing out 30 assists while turning the ball over just four times.
In Lipscomb (4-4), the Owls are facing a team they have dropped three of their last five contests to and are 5-7 against all-time. The Bisons are coming off of a, 79-72, loss to Mercer on Thursday evening to open up conference play. They were picked to finish sixth in the A-Sun in the preseason polls. The Owls will be trying to snap an 0-5 all-time record against the Bisons at Allen Arena when they take the floor on Saturday.
Saturday afternoon will be a special day at Allen Arena, as Lipscomb's athletic department will be honoring their legendary former coach, Don Meyer. Meyer, who was 665-179 over 24 seasons at the helm of the Bisons, will have the court at All Arena be officially named "Don Meyer Court" in his honor.
