LMU Men's Basketball will play their second game of the 2026-27 season on Friday night in front of their home crowd. The Lions welcome Lincoln University to Hank's House, a team that LMU beat 137-54, in last year's season opener. The 137 points scored were the most by the program since 1991 helping the Lions claim an 83-point victory.
 
Given last year's result, the offensive showing from Wednesday night could carry over to this one as LMU scored 95 points against a team coming off an NCAA Tournament bid in Queens University in Wednesday's season opener.
 
Zion Sensley and All Wright each scored 22 points in defeat, the third-best scoring output of any WCC player to open the new campaign. Both LMU newcomers hit four threes and were a perfect 6-for-6 from the free throw line.
 
This year's LMU team has eight transfers and only four returning players to last year's 15-win roster. The Lions were able to face opposition in two opening season exhibition games ahead of the true season opener.
 
Newcomer All Wright was named to the West Coast Conference Preseason team during the offseason. Wright shared team-high honors with 13 points and three assists in the exhibition game against UC Santa Barbara.
 
Johnson enters the year with 87 career wins over his first six years, and within reach of making significant moves this season. Johnson is five wins away from taking over a top-3 position and has a chance with a strong year to pass William J. Donovan's program-record 107 wins. Only Paul Westhead and Donovan have won 100 or more games as Head Coach of the Lions.
 
The game will be broadcast on ESPN+ with Ben Wilson and Bill Herenda on the call.
