Grizzle said:LM beat BYU 83-71. BYU has beaten Seattle Pacific 86-72 and Wash. St. 76-68. Don't know if any of those teams are any good.

I remember a few years ago UM got worked by Alaska at the same tournament for their third loss in a row and then upset 17th ranked Stanford in their next game!
Too early to tell, I think...
Seatown- The GRIZ beat Loyola by 7 at Loyola during Kennedy's first year here. That Loyola team finished the year 11-20. Obviously, the GRIZ did not have much overall success under Kennedy but did have the talent to suprise from time to time (e.g. beating Stanford).SeatownGrizzly said:As for the Griz win at LMU, that's a quality win. LMU isn't a WCC powerhouse, but they are very tough at home and took both Gonzaga and Washington to the wire last year, and also upset St. Maries. And they beat BYU in Provo just a few nights ago.
IMO, this is a game the Griz would have lost by 20 in the Kennedy era. The Griz have struggled against WCC teams in recent years. Nice to see them pull this one out on the road.
Loyola Marymount Lions
- The Lions will have a new face on the sidelines as Rodney Tention became the 23rd head coach in the history of the Lions' program on April 5, 2005.
- Tention inherits one of the most experienced squads in the conference as the Lions roster is filled with 9 upperclassmen. In addition, LMU returns 12 of the 13 players from last year's squad.
- The Lions should boast one of the best inside-outside tandems in the conference in junior forward Matthew Knight and junior guard Brandon Worthy. Knight enjoyed a break out sophomore campaign, averaging team-leading totals of 15.4 ppg and 5.9 rpg, while Worthy ranked second on the team in scoring (11.8 ppg) and first in assists per game (3.7 apg).
- The Lions travel to Provo, Utah to take on BYU (11/18) in their season-opener.
