The Cyclones men's and women's basketball seasons officially start Nov. 1, and both teams are ready.

The men have their season/home opener against Daley College on Nov. 1 while the women open the season at the Parkland College Tournament on Nov. 5. The women don't have their home opener until Nov. 15 against Truman College.

Both teams are looking to build on the successes of last season and go deeper into the playoffs. The men have three top sophomores back in Kobe Adams, Anthony Taylor and Trace Williams along with talented and tall recruits. The women have a taller squad with key returners in Reagan Cameron, Larisa Milenkovski, Mary Chronopoulou and Janiyah Hilliard along with some skilled transfers and incoming freshmen.

All home games will be held in the Cyclone Center in the Health, Fitness & Recreation Center (Building H) and livestreamed on the Cyclones' YouTube page.
