Loyola Marymount plays six of its eight West Coast Conference games on the road starting Thursday night against No. 5 Gonzaga in Spokane, Wash., but the Lions have an air of confidence about them.
"We have everything to gain and nothing to lose," Loyola Marymount coach Mike Dunlap said. "Every conference game is an important point, and we want to look at each game as a new chapter. We're looking forward to playing Gonzaga."
They know they are so close to having a better record than their 8-7 mark overall and 1/3 in conference play going against the Bulldogs, who are 15-0 and 3-0.
