The Lancers added a midweek, non-conference game against San Diego Christian on Wednesday, Jan. 20, and have completed the week with another non-conference game to make up for the two missed games due to Chicago State.
The Lancers were originally set to play Chicago State on the week, but CSU suspended its men's basketball activities, and as a result, those games were canceled.
This marks a first-time matchup between the Lancers and the Beach.
