The Lions improved to 9-3 in conference play tonight with a 76-62 win over Portland. It was the second win over Portland in the past two weeks for LMU, who will now travel to Gonzaga for the second game of a three-game road trip Saturday. Gonzaga will be coming off of a huge win over No. 13 Saint Mary's.
The Lions used quite the team effort to win their season-high fourth-straight game, with five players scoring in double figures. Godwin Okonji had his biggest game of the season, adding 10 points and nine rebounds. Drew Viney contributed 16 points, while Anthony Ireland added 15. Freshman C.J. Blackwell had an impressive 11 points after playing zero first-half minutes. LaRon Armstead also came up big, scoring all 13 of his points after the break.
The win puts the Lions half a game in front of BYU in the conference standings, good enough for sole possession of third place. Tonight's win was also the first for LMU in Portland since 2006.
