We are nearing the end of November, which means it's time to get a jump on the Conference season! Eight GLVC men's basketball teams will take to the hardwood on Thursday, while seven league contests are slated for Saturday. Maryville and Missouri-St. Louis will host Illinois Springfield and McKendree over the three-day span, while Quincy and Truman State are set to welcome Rockhurst and William Jewell. Also in action on Saturday will be Missouri S&T at Drury, Indianapolis at Lewis, and Bellarmine at Southern Indiana.
Prior to league action on Thursday, GLVC teams will take part in non-conference play over the first three days of the week. On Monday, William Jewell welcomes Missouri Western to Liberty for a 7 p.m. CT tip. Missouri S&T hits the road to Southeast Missouri State on Tuesday, while Southern Indiana hosts Oakland City. Just one game on the docket for Wednesday, as top-ranked Bellarmine welcomes in Lindenwood, which will join the GLVC as a full-time member next season.
All home games are scheduled to be streamed across all GLVCSN platforms, including GLVCSN.com, GLVCSN iOS and Android mobile apps, and GLVCSN OTT apps on Roku, Amazon Fire TV, Apple TV, and Android TV.
