My seat mates are a late scratch and I'll be flying solo. If anyone wants two tix right at the concourse level, hit me up!

LMU is a well-coached team trying to continue their second-best (IIRC) season in history. Coach is Aarika Hughes, who played for Mark Trakh at U$C, then joined him on the bench at New Mexico as well as at her alma mater.
They are the WCC regular season champions, besting Gonzaga and Oregon State. They have a lot of experience with OT games, beating the Zags in Spokane in OT, beating OSU in OT, and during the WCC conference losing a close game to OSU.
Hughes plans around the following trio:
- Jess Lawson, Grad student. Started all but one game. 3-point threat, averages 15.1 PPG and 2+ steals.
- Andjela Matc, Senior from Serbia. Averages 10.4 PPG and one steal.
- Maya Hernandez, Junior from Archbishop Mitty, so I expect to see a lot of support there. Averages 10.4 PPG and nearly 2 steals.
The other two starters are both seniors (portal pickups, of course).
They play an up-tempo game on offense and disciplined defense. On paper, we should win this handily, BUT, they also play the type of game that makes me very, very nervous.
And they have some late-game inbounding plays that make me jealous.
Great preview, thanks! Sounds like we shouldn't be counting any second home game chickens unless/until they hatch. (which is of course in line with Board Woofing Gods practices anyway...)

I think Sunday. I think at home. Needs verification.

Yes, if Stanford wins, they’ll play winner of Quinnipiac or George Mason Sunday at Maples. They could potentially host next Thursday if they win both games and BYU loses before then.

Argh. She didn't run out. Maybe she picked up a bug.

Definitely missing Somfai, as LMU has more offensive rebounds than we have defensive rebounds. There's really a big drop in rebounding ability from Somfai to Eschmeyer, despite Eschmeyer being 2 inches taller.

LMU looks to be a fast, 3-shooting team… not lots of size. I can see why they beat Portland and Gonzaga in their league.
And Somfai is not here.

So - late tuning in. Did we get an answer on why Lara isn't in the house?

I'm watching on ESPN+ and the volume is really low. I have to turn up my TV to 35 to hear it, but when the commercials play it blasts my living room.
We are 4-6 from beyond the arc.
We give up a 9-0 scoring run and the lead is 40-30 at the half.
We suck at breaking the press.

We were doing okay against the press but LMU cranked up the physicality on the "they can't call all the fouls" principle.

Our offense is stagnant halfway through the 3rd Q. Only 5 points in this Q.
