If someone had told me before the game that the Lions, without three starters including Drew, would stay within ten points of the Gauchos I probably would have taken it. However, having seen the game, I am again disappointed.
With 9:56 left to play in the game, the Lions found themselves down 53-52. Just four and a half minutes later, LMU was down by 17, after playing an atrocious stretch of basketball. And a bad stretch like that is, unfortunately, something Lions' fans have now seen in most of the team's games this season.
With Drew and JD both out, the Lions needed someone to step up big offensively if they were going to have a chance to win. Well, Larry Davis did that, giving the Lions a career-high 27 points while knocking down 6-7 from three-point range. Considering the Lions got that kind of explosive offensive from a substitute starter and were still unable to pull out the victory against a so-so team is not promising.
The 3-5 Lions will now return home Saturday, will they will get a much-needed rematch against Cal Poly at 7:00pm.
