At the beginning of the year, there were pretty much two nice stories rolling out of the West Coast Conference: the San Francisco Dons and the Loyola Marymount Lions. The Zags already dispatched the Dons on their home court, and it is time to show the Lions what is up when they roll through Spokane.

LMU defeated Georgetown early in the year, and that is really the big cherry on top of the schedule that overall wasn’t that good. The Lions played two non-D1 teams, the most allowed by the new WCC scheduling. The storybook year fell apart with a nasty, nasty win to UC Riverside.

WCC play hasn’t been too kind to LMU either. The Lions have lost to both Pepperdine and Saint Mary’s, and it looks like Gonzaga is going to put LMU on its first losing streak of the season.
