INSIDE THE LIONS • LMU began the 2013-14 West Coast Conference by running their home winning streak to five games with a home sweep of BYU and San Diego. They began a four-game road swing with a 75-61 setback at San Francisco to snap a four-game winning streak. The Lions are playing four games in eight days to start WCC play. They are 10-5 on the season and 2-1 in WCC play. It is the Lions’ best start since 1995-96 season when they began 11-4. The Lions improved to 5-0 at home, equaling the best start at home since winning the first five in 2006-07. • The Lions hit 84.6 percent from the free throw line (22-26) at San Francisco on Thursday, hitting better than 71 percent in a game 12 times season. They are tops in the WCC overall hitting 77.2 percent on the season. As of Dec. 29 the Lions ranked 8th in the nation. Since returning home the last four games, the Lions are hitting 82.2 percent from the charity stripe (74-for-90). • The Lions had a season-high 20 offensive rebounds good for 23 second chance points in the win over UC Riverside. They equalled that total with 20 against La Sierra, going for a seasonhigh 25 second chance points. The Lions have had double-digit offensive rebounds in 13 of the 15 games on the season and lead the West Coast Conference with 13.7 per game. The Lions grabbed 17 offensive rebounds to cut a 23-point deficit to five against NIU, and against Long Beach State the Lions had 19 offensive boards and held a 45-30 edge on the glass. They used five of their 19 offensive rebounds in the final minute to get the win at LBSU. Freshman Gabe Levin is second in the WCC with 3.2 offensive rebounds per game. • The Lions have had more turnovers than their opponents just once in 15 games this season, turning the ball over just 16 times in two games to start WCC play, giving it away just seven times on Saturday against the Cougars. They are averaging 12.27 turnovers per game this season. The Lions have averaged under 13 turnovers a game just twice in program history. They averaged just 12.97 in 2009-10 and set the record in 1983-84 at 11.98 per game. The Lions are second in the WCC in turnover margin at +1.80. • Senior Anthony Ireland continues to pace the Lions in all areas of the floor. In the first two WCC contests of the season, he chipped in 17 assists while averaging 12 points per contest. He had his 37th 20-point game against La Sierra and his start against USF was the 108th of his career, making him just the fourth player in LMU history to reach the century mark (joining Mark Armstrong - 109, Mike Yoest - 103, and Jim Williamson 101). With 272 points, 82 assists and 26 steals to start the season, Ireland moved ahead of Jim Haderlein for seventh all-time in LMU history with 1,848 career points. He also moved to fourth with 466 career assists and seventh with 173 career steals.
