RIVERSIDE--- The California Baptist University men's basketball team will look to begin its season 2-0 as they welcome in the Tigers of Jackson State on Friday.
The Lancers are coming off a 74-57 victory over San Francisco State on Monday night to claim their ninth home opening win in the past eleven seasons. CBU was led in scoring by San Bernardino Valley College transfer Dominique Daniels Jr., who posted 22 points on 6/9 shooting from the perimeter. Daniels's 22 points tied the DI program record for most points scored in a debut, and his six threes were the most in a single game since 2022 when Ty Rowell connected on eight triples in a win at Lamar University.
