Loyola At Gu

Tipoff: Gonzaga (15-6, 6-3 in West Coast Conference) takes on the Lions (15-7, 5-4) in a WCC game at 2 p.m. in the Martin Centre.

At a glance: GU’s 15-game homecourt win streak now ranks seventh in the nation. The Bulldogs dropped an 83-69 decision to LMU in Los Angeles last week as point guard Jim Williamson was on his way to WCC Player of the Week honors. Aside from Williamson, the Bulldogs must concern themselves with 6-9 center Ime Oduok, who leads the league in rebounds at nearly 10 a game. Portland had little trouble with Oduok on Thursday, though, as he fouled out in only 16 minutes of play with six points and just two rebounds.

Key players: Gonzaga - Paul Rogers, 16.5 ppg; Rogers, 8.0 rpg; Kyle Dixon, 5.6 apg. LMU Jim Williamson, 13.5 ppg; Oduok, 8.9 rpg; Jim Williamson, 4.5 apg.
