Lions to close out tournament against North Texas

C. J. Blackwell had a career-high 21 points Saturday

LMU took care of its business last night against NAIA opponent La Sierra, winning 87-45. Freshman C.J. Blackwell led the way with a career-high 21 points against the non-Division I foe.

Drew Viney, who had made his season-debut Friday night, did not suit up for LMU. He will likely be back on the court tonight, as I would assume the coaching staff didn't want to rush him back into the lineup for back-to-back-to-back games.

Jarred DuBois also missed the action, and was on the sidelines in a boot. According to the Los Angeles Loyolan, it was a precautionary measure.

The Lions will close out their Centeniial Classic Tournament today at 1:30 p.m. against North Texas. The Mean Green lost to a hot Columbia team yesterday. After lighting up the Lions Friday night, Columbia is now shooting a blistering 24-36 from behind the arc in the tournament.
