Lions to face Bengals for second time this season

Senior LaRon Armstead has stepped up big for the Lions recently

The Lions will take on the Idaho State Bengals for the second time this season tomorrow at Gersten Pavilion at 7 p.m. The two teams met Nov. 23 in Idaho, as the Lions pulled off a thrilling double overtime victory with the help of sophomore guard Anthony Ireland's 25 points.

Since facing the Bengals, the Lions have gone 3-2, with a win over then-No.23 Saint Louis and disappointing losses to Columbia and North Texas. Since facing the Lions, Idaho State has gone 1-3, with a win over North Dakota and losses to Utah State, New Mexico, and most recently Boise State.

Jarred DuBois will hopefully be back in the lineup for LMU, who desperately missed his sure hand Sunday when committing 16 turnovers. All signs point to him returning to the court.

The Lions will be looking to pick up the home victory before heading out on a tough two-game road trip to take on Florida State and Morgan State.
