Early Season Heads to Rocky Mountains The early 2015-16 college basketball season will send LMU men’s basketball to the Rocky Mountains where they will face Colorado State on Nov. 19 with a 6 pm (PT) tip-off. The Lions will face the Rams for the first time since 1982 and only the fifth time in program history. The game will be aired live on KXLU 88.9 fm and through the LMU Sports Network thanks to Livestream and the MW Network. THE MATCH-UP • This will be the fifth meeting in the series between LMU and Colorado State, the first since the Lions earned a 63-61 win on Dec. 20, 1982, which was the Lions’ final season at Alumni Gym on the LMU campus. Head Coach Mike Dunlap was an assistant for the Lions that season, working for head coach Ed Goorjian... This will be only the second meeting in Fort Collins, the other coming on Dec. 18, 1968. The Rams won 76-57. The first meeting was on Dec. 23, 1966 and the follow-up was on Dec. 15, 1967... Colorado State opened the 2015-16 season with a thrilling 84-78 victory at Northern Iowa, Nov. 14, as part of the Mountain West-Missouri Valley Challenge. It was CSU head coach Larry Eustachy’s 70th victory at the helm of the Rams. It snapped UNI’s 18-game home winning streak...

The two-game road trip then started with another Big West foe, the defending champion UC Irvine Anteaters. The Lions fell, 77-53, Sunday evening. • Adom Jacko led the Lions in both contests, earning a double-double, scoring 22 points with 10 rebounds in the opener. The Lions’ aggressive defense forced 18 Titan turnovers and finished the game with a 17-7 edge in point off turnovers. LMU also had 17 offensive rebounds, helping them attempt 15 more shots than the Titans. Cal State Fullerton shot 53.4 percent in the second half to nearly erase an 11-point deficit. However, the Lions hit 7-of-8 free throws in the final minute to ice it. • The Lions forced another 17 turnovers against UC Irvine, but unlike the opener where they only had 10 themselves, they turned the ball over 16 times. The Anteaters led the points off turnovers category, 17-13. The Lions shot just 27.4 percent in the setback and in the two games have hit 31.3 percent. In the two games the Lions have hit 38-for-48 from the free throw line (79.2 percent). Adom Jacko led the Lions in scoring and rebounds for the second straight game with 17 and six. Junior Brandon Brown had 14 points, five rebounds and three assists. Jacko and Brown combined to hit 11-for-26 from the field. The rest of the team went six-for-36.
