Final Road Trip Begins at Pacific The final road swing of the 2015-16 regular season will begin with a series that has been dominated by the road team. LMU men’s basketball will head to the Bay Area for the second time this season for the final road trip of WCC play, starting with Pacific on Thursday, Feb. 11 at 7 pm. The game can be seen on TheW.tv and heard on KXLU 88.9 FM. THE MATCH-UP • This will be the 54th meeting between LMU and Pacific and the last nine meetings of the series have gone to the road team. In the first meeting of the season between the two on Jan. 9 at Gersten Pavilion, the Tigers came away with a 60-58 win. It was their fifth straight in Los Angeles. The Lions, who won in Stockton last year in overtime 76-71, have won the last four at the Spanos Center. Pacific, who is not eligible for the 2016 WCC Championships due to self imposed restrictions, are the surprise of the WCC slate this season under Itnerim Head Coach Mike Burns. They are 7-15 overall but improved to 5-7 in WCC play with a stunning 77-72 win at BYU last week. The Tigers outrebounded the Cougars 41-36 and held BYU to 33.9 percent shooting, just 23 percent in the second half. In the first meeting on Jan. 9, It was another defensive struggle as Pacific’s Jacob Lampkin hit the game winner with 58 seconds left and the Tigers earned their only steal of the game at the buzzer for the winner. The game featured 10 lead changes and eight ties as neither team held a lead more than eight. Alex Kobre led all scorers with 19 points, hitting 4-for-6 from three. The Tigers hit 9-for-21 from long range (42.9 percent) and finished the game shooting 45.5 percent. The Lions struggle from the field again, shooting 36.7 percent from the field and 23.8 percent from three (5-for-21). INSIDE THE LIONS • The West Coast Conference named LMU junior Adom Jacko as Player of the Week for Jan. 25 after he averaged 24.5 points and 8.5 rebounds in two games at Gersten Pavilion against BYU and San Diego. And he has continued his hot play within the WCC. He has led the Lions in scoring for six straight games, going for 20 or better in those contests. He is the first player to do so since Haywood Eaddy went six straight games of 20 or more between Jan. 15 - Jan. 30, 1999. On Saturday against Portland, he went for 35 points and seven rebounds, hitting 13-for-20 from the field. He attempted and made his first three of the season and went 8-for-10 from the free throw line. It was the best single game scoring effort since Drew Viney had 35 against San Diego on Feb. 25, 2010. He has 11 20-point games this season and within WCC games he is averaging 19.1 ppg, increasing that to 24.5 ppg the last six games. • On Jan. 23 against the Cougars, Jacko finished the game 11-for-12 from the field, equaling the all-time LMU record for shooting percentage in a game (91.6 percent - 10 or more attempts). Victor Lazzaretti went 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 in double-doubles and moved to seventh in scoring at 16.8 ppg, 4th in shooting at 55.9 percent, ninth in rebounds at 6.5, 7th in blocks at 0.9 bpg and 8th in offensive rebounds at 2.5. 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. • LMU continues to lead the league in turnover margin at +2.5, ranking first in the WCC in creating 14.2 turnovers a game while turning the ball over just 11.7 times per game, tied for second in the WCC.
