The two teams met in January in San Diego, when the Lions picked up their second WCC win with a 79-68 victory behind a strong offensive performance from Drew Viney.
The game is an important one for the Lions, who are looking to make a final push in the conference standings before the regular season concludes Saturday night. LMU currently sits one game behind both BYU and Gonzaga, who are facing off against each other tonight in Spokane, Wash.
The Toreros are led by one of the conference's best offensive freshman Johnny Dee, who last time lit the Lions up for 24 points while shooting 6-12 from three. Dee is an exceptionally quick shooter, and the Lions will surely look to do a better job locking him down.
The game tips off at 7 p.m., and can be seen live on lmulions.com.
Other games of interest for Lions fans will be the BYU/Gonzaga showdown on ESPN2 and Saint Mary's vs. Portland matchup on ESPNU. LMU fans should be rooting for Gonzaga and Saint Mary's victories, as explained in my column below.
