LMU will head out on its final conference road-trip of the season tomorrow, when it takes on Santa Clara at 8:30 p.m. The game, which can be seen live on ESPNU, is the second meeting of the year between the two teams. Santa Clara took the first meeting, 79-72.

Currently tied for seventh in the conference with a 2-10 record, the Lions are looking to turn things around before heading to the WCC Tournament in Las Vegas March 4. LMU is hoping a healthy Drew Viney will be on the court for the Lions in March, as he returned with a bang last week after missing three games due to migraines. Viney is currently third in the conference in scoring, averaging 16.0 points per game.

The Lions are coming off of a disappointing loss to Portland State in a Sears BracketBuster game and a win over Pepperdine in the team's last conference game. Santa Clara is coming off of back-to-back losses at Gonzaga and Portland, but currently sit tied with Portland for fourth place in conference with a 6-6 WCC record.
