Sophomore Daniss Jenkins led the way for the Tigers with 18 points on 7-for-13 shooting, while senior Broc Finstuen added 14 points on 4-for-5 from the field, including 6-for-8 from the free-throw line.

SCOUTING THE LIONS:
- LMU, meanwhile, will be coming off a COVID pause that caused them to miss their last four scheduled contests.
- The Lions' last game came on Jan. 25 at Portland, in which they earned a 75-50 victory. LMU has also collected home wins versus San Diego and San Francisco in conference play this season. Prior to their win at Portland, the Lions suffered back-to-back losses to Saint Mary's and Santa Clara.
- In the first meeting between the two programs, Eli Scott led the Lions with 19 points on 7-for-14 from the floor.
