The Lions, who have dropped four straight, will take on a hot Santa Clara team tonight in LMU's homecoming game. The Broncos come into Gersten pavilion having won three straight conference decisions. The game tips off at 5 p.m.
After beginning WCC play with a loss to San Francisco, the Broncos have gone 4-1, beating Portland and Gonzaga at home last weekend in one of the team's biggest weekends in recent years. They are led by WCC Player of the Year candidate Kevin Foster, who is averaging 18.8 points per game. He also put up 36 points in the team's win over Santa Clara.
The Lions, on the other hand, have been struggling. After holding a 17-point lead on Thursday at home against San Francisco, LMU eventually lost by one. Both Larry Davis and Vernon Teel were battling the flu, with Teel playing 12 fewer minutes than he averages and going just 2-3 from the floor. Davis didn't play. The Lions were also without leading scorer Drew Viney in the second half, who was battling severe migraines. The rest of the Lions were unable to secure the victory in his absence.
The Lions, who are now 1-5 in conference play, will again look to turn things around tonight.
