SAN DIEGO (Interstat) — Two West Coast Conference teams looking to halt late-season slides will meet Saturday when the San Diego Toreros host the Loyola Marymount Lions at Jenny Craig Pavilion. Loyola Marymount (13-15) arrives after a heartbreaking 90-89 road loss to Pepperdine on Feb. 14, a game in which the Lions surrendered a late lead. San Diego (11-17) seeks to regroup after a 92-79 home loss to San Francisco on Feb. 15. Both teams have lost four of their last five games. The Lions will lean on guard Myron Amey, who is coming off a 25-point performance against Pepperdine and has averaged 17.5 points over his last six contests. His backcourt play will be pivotal for an LMU squad that won the first meeting between these teams decisively, 83-63, on Feb. 7 in Los Angeles. San Diego aims for home-court revenge, led by guard Toneari Lane. He scored 16 points in 39 minutes in the loss to San Francisco and had 21 points in a road win at Pepperdine on Jan. 28. The Toreros will need more consistent production from him and supporting scorers like Adrian McIntyre and Dominique Ford to improve upon their offensive output from the first matchup. The game features two of the conference’s lower-tier teams battling for positioning ahead of the WCC tournament. Loyola Marymount’s recent performances, despite the record, show offensive capability, including an 84-75 road win at San Francisco on Feb. 4. San Diego has struggled with consistency but has shown flashes, including an overtime win against Pepperdine. Tipoff is set for Saturday afternoon in San Diego. Loyola Marymount visits Washington State next on Feb. 25, while San Diego begins a road trip at Oregon State on the same date.
