Home Opener Up Next as Clayton State Hosts LeMoyne-Owen at The Loch

MORROW, Ga. – After opening the season on the road last weekend at the Embassy Suites PBC/SAC Challenge in Charlotte, North Carolina, Clayton State (1-1, 0-0 PBC) hosts LeMoyne-Owen College (0-3, 0-0 SIAC) in their home opener on Thursday, November 17. Game time is set for 7 p.m. at The Loch.
 
The Magicians enter at 0-3 following losses to Shorter (83-69), Union (82-60) and Tougaloo (92-70) while the Lakers return home following a split against a pair of South Atlantic Conference opponents. They downed Anderson 64-62 before falling to a strong host Queens team by a score of 81-71.
 
While LOC is a familiar foe to head coach Jimmy Link and players Nathan Powell, Marquise Clark and Alfonso Davis from their time at Paine, the meeting will be the first between the Magicians and Clayton State. Those four individuals faced LeMoyne-Owen on a regular basis as part of the Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Conference.
 
Full live coverage of the game will be available through live stats and live video on www.ClaytonStateSports.com. A full recap will also be available directly following the contest.
