If you like me were somewhat impressed by both LMU and Santa Clara’s men’s teams, tonight’s results won’t be a surprise.
In an exciting contest, 5th seeded Loyola-Marymount defeated 8 seed San Francisco 70-66 in a game that was in question until the last few seconds. The Dons and the Lions battled back and forth all evening, ending the first half knotted at 31. The biggest lead of the contest was USF up by five at the 7:11 mark in the second half. With 42 seconds left in the game, Eli Scott made a layup to give LMU a 65-64 lead.
