Both LMU and San Diego's last memory of a basketball game was a loss to Gonzaga. LMU was crushed by 45 points on Thursday and San Diego lost by only two on Saturday.
This will be game two of four during a week span for the Toreros, who will face Brigham Young on Thursday then Saint Mary's on Saturday. The Toreros put up a good fight against the #6 (then #7) Zags on Saturday so this will be a nice break from high level competition, despite the fact that they're playing an odd Monday game, before returning to facing the top dogs of the WCC later this week.
Loyola Marymount has been struggling pretty much all year. The Toreros had been struggling for the last few weeks. For the Lions this was, until seeing the near upset on Saturday, circled as the game that could help turn their season around. Unfortunately, the Toreros seem to have learned to apply the style of play they used to beat the lower level WCC teams (like LMU) earlier this season to the high level teams. That does not bode well for the Lions.
As always, this WCC game will feature two great guards. Both of these great guards are under six feet tall. Christopher Anderson for the Toreros is 5'7'' and Anthony Ireland for the Lions is 5'10''.
Maybe one of the reasons we had so much trouble with San Diego is because we couldn't FIND their pg, lol.
ReplyDeleteI wonder if a pregame ritual with these two dimimuative guards is to sing "hi ho, hi ho, it's off to work we go"
