Freshman Anthony Ireland has averaged an impressive ten ppg this season | Julia Pine |
The Lions, however, would like to start playing solid basketball before the WCC Tournament in Las Vegas and are coming off of a narrow victory over Pepperdine on Wednesday. While the game wasn't pretty, it was the kind of game the Lions have been unable to win all season. "Our goal is to be at our best when we hit the West Coast Conference tournament," Head Coach Max Good told the Los Angeles Loyolan after the win.
Portland State is led by Charles Odum, who is averaging a team-high 14.4 points per game, and shooting an impressive 45 percent from three-point land. The Vikings are 1-1 against WCC teams this season, having beaten Pepperdine in Novemeber before losing to Portland in December.
One result of the BracketBuster contest will be the fact that Portland State will travel to LMU in the next two seasons for a game at Gersten Pavilion.
This is the Lions final non-conference game of the year before wrapping up conference play next weekend in the Bay Area with games against Santa Clara and San Francisco.
The game can be heard live on LMULions.com or 88.9 FM.
