Homecoming Features Lions and Toreros The 2016 LMU Homecoming Game will be this Saturday, Jan. 23 as the Lions (9-10, 2-6) will take on San Diego (6-12, 1-6) at 3 pm. The day will start with the annual LMU Alumni Association Tailgate Party in Alumni Mall at 1 pm. The game will be broadcast by Time Warner Cable SportsNet and can be heard on KXLU 88.9 FM. THE MATCH-UP • LMU will host San Diego to wrap-up the first half of West Coast Conference action on Saturday. The all-time series is even at 45-45. The 91st meeting will be the 2016 LMU Homecoming Game and will feature the annual tailgate party at 1 pm. LMU will wear their Crimson Uniforms for the match-up and the teams will switch roles when they return the game in San Diego in one week. The Lions have won the last two meetings at Gersten Pavilion, including the last meeting on Feb. 5, 2015 (70-61). INSIDE THE NUMBERS • LMU continues to lead the league in turnover margin at +2.5, ranking second in the WCC in creating 14.6 turnovers a game by their opponent while turning the ball over just 12.1 times per game, third in the WCC. The Lions are also tops in the league in offensive rebounds at 12.4 per game (tied with USF), second in free throw shooting at 73.0 percent and second in the league in steals at 7.2. The Lions, who had 22 assists Thursday, are third in the league at 15.7 per game and third in assist-to-turnover ratio at 1.3. • Junior Adom Jacko had his fifth double-double of the season with a career-best 26 points and 12 rebounds on Thursday against BYU. He finished the game hitting 11-for-12 from the field, good for a .916 shooting percentage. The effort ties the LMU program record for shooting in a game. Victor Lazzaretti with 11-for-12 against Pepperdine on Feb. 25, 1987 and Mike Yoest did it against Marquette on Jan. 6, 1988. Jacko is fifth in the WCC with his five double-doubles and moved to seventh in the conference with a shooting percentage of 54.6. He is also 10th in scoring at 14.8, ninth in rebounds at 6.6 and third in offensive rebounds at 2.8. Jacko’s first double-double, a 22-point and 10-rebound effort in the season opener, was the first double-double by an LMU player in his first game as a Lion against an NCAA Division I program in 35 years. • Offensive rebounding was a big catalyst last Saturday in the win over Santa Clara. The Lions outrebounded the Broncos 38-23 and held a 21-3 edge in second chance points. The Lions had 14 offensive rebounds and improved to 7-1 on the season when they have more second chance points than their opponent. Shamar Johnson had five offensive rebounds and is ranked 10th in the WCC with 2.0 orpg. Adom Jacko is 3rd with 2.8 orpg. On Thursday, BYU out-rebounded the Lions 42-32. • Free throw shooting was another factor as the Lions missed just three free throws in 32 attempts. They went 17-for-19 against the Dons, hitting all six in the final 30 seconds to win the game. Against Santa Clara, they went 12-for-13, going 7-for-8 in the final two minutes to keep the Broncos from staging a come-back. Freshman Munis Tutu went 8-for-8 on the week, hitting all four of his attempts in the final 20 seconds against USF. On Thursday, the Lions were just 7-for-12 from the free throw line while BYU was 14-for-20. • Senior David Humphries posted a career-best 20 points on Thursday, hitting 6-for-11 from the field,
