Road trip concludes with WCC's best

The Lions will play their final road contest of the 2011-12 regular season tomorrow when they travel to Moraga, Calif. to take on the No. 16 Saint Mary's Gaels. The Gaels sit atop the West Coast Conference standings with an 11-1 record, having lost last Thursday to Gonzaga in Spokane. With a win, Saint Mary's guarantees itself a top-two conference finish.

LMU is also coming off of a loss in Spokane, and now sit at 9-4 on the season, half a game behind BYU for the third spot. The matchup against Saint Mary's will be the Lions' fifth against a ranked opponent this season, having previously beaten ranked UCLA and Saint Louis teams. This is also the Lions second contest against the Gaels this year, having lost to them in Gersten Pavilion 71-64 on Jan. 26. LMU has not beaten Saint Mary's since 2006. Saint Mary's is currently 16-0 at home this season.

LMU will look to continue an already-impressive season Wednesday with a win over the Gaels. The team's nine WCC wins are already the most since the 1990-91 season, and after facing Saint Mary's the team will still host two conference games at home.

The game can be heard live on KXLU 88.9 at 7:30 p.m. or watched on tape delay on Prime Ticket at 10 p.m.
