INSIDE THE LIONS • LMU opened the 2013-14 season playing nine of its first 10 games away from home, and they start WCC play in a similar fashion. After running their home winning streak to five games with a home sweep of BYU and San Diego to start conference, the Lions are in a stretch of four straight away from Gersten Pavilion, playing seven of nine on the road. They began the four-game road swing with a pair of setbacks, including an 86-81 overtime heartbreaker at Santa Clara last Saturday. LMU is 10-6 on the season and 2-2 in WCC play. The 5-0 start at home equals the best start at Gersten Pavilion 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 76.7 percent on the season, and as of Jan. 5 the Lions ranked 9th in the nation. Free throws played a key role in the overtime setback at Santa Clara as the Lions shot below 78 percent for the first time in five games, going 13-for-19 (68.4 percent), while Santa Clara went 24-for-27 (88.9 percent), hitting 22 of 23 in the second half and overtime. • The Lions have had double-digit offensive rebounds in 14 of the 16 games on the season and lead the West Coast Conference with 13.7 per game. They went for 13 offensive boards in outrebounding Santa Clara 41-36 Saturday. 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 season-high 25 second chance points. 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 third overall in rebounding at 8.4 rpg, and is third in the WCC with 3.1 offensive rebounds per game. • The Lions have had more turnovers than their opponents just twice in 16 games this season, giving it away just seven times to open WCC against the Cougars. They are averaging just 12.19 turnovers per game this season and rank second in the WCC in turnover margin at +1.62. The Lions have averaged under 13 turnovers a game just twice in program history. They averaged just 12.97 in 2009-10 IRELAND CLIMBING UP: and set the record in 1983-84 at 11.98 per game. Career Points: 6. 1922
