Men's basketball releases non-conference schedule

The LMU Athletics Department released its men's basketball 2011-12 non-conference schedule today. Along with the schedule announcement, season tickets are also now available.

Games at UCLA and Florida state highlight the slate.

As reported earlier, the Lions will host a tournament in early December, and it was reported today that it will be called the 2011 Centennial Classic. It is the first tournament held in Gersten Pavilion for the Lions since the 1992-93 season.

"We are very excited to be hosting a tournament at home this season," said Head Coach Max Good in the press release. "The tournament is a great way to add to our home schedule, one in which this season is a tough one. Add to that trips to UCLA, Idaho State, Florida State and Morgan State, and we have a schedule that will really challenge us and help us prepare for a WCC schedule that just got a whole heck of a lot tougher."

WCC play will then begin a week earlier this year (with the addition of BYU to the conference), with conference action starting Dec. 29.
