Lions head north, look to build streak

The LMU men's basketball team will look to build upon its overtime victory over Long Beach when they head up the coast of California to Santa Barbara, where they will take on the Gauchos at 7:05 p.m. The Lions (3-4) will face a UC Santa Barbara team led by former-Lion Orlando Johnson, who is currently averaging nearly 25 points per game. The Gauchos are 2-3, and most recently lost to Portland by double-digits.

Junior guard Jarred DuBois, who didn't play in Saturday's contest at Long Beach, is doubtful for tomorrow's game as well. DuBois has battled an ankle injury all year, and it seems it is finally bad enough to keep him out.

The LMU Athletics Department also listed Drew Viney as questionable for tomorrow's game. Viney suffered a calf injury in the Lions' game against Rider, and despite playing in the last two games, is unsure about his status for tomorrow. The loss of Viney would be huge for the Lions, as he is currently their leading scorer, averaging 16 points per contest.

Tomorrow's game caps a six-game road-trip for the Lions, and tips off at 7:05 p.m.
