Lions lose 17 point lead, fall to 1-5 in WCC play

The Lions, who were up by 17 points in the second half, fell to University of San Francisco 61-60 tonight. With 12 seconds left on the clock LMU needed to score to win, but after driving to the hoop freshman guard Anthony Ireland decided not to shoot, giving up the ball to Ayodeji Egbeyemi who had to force up a prayer at the buzzer.

Drew Viney, who was on fire in the first half, sat out the majority of the second half with severe migraines. He finished with 11 points, all in the first period.

Larry Davis sat out the game due to illness.

Egbeyemi finished the game with his first career double-double.

The Lions drop to 1-5 in conference play while the Dons remain in second place at 5-1.

LMU will host Santa Clara on Saturday night for its annual homecoming game. Tip-off is at 5 p.m.
