On Monday night at Gersten Pavilion, it was not turnovers that would cause the loss, as that as been the case many times this season. It was the pure superiority of the visiting team, the most likely eventual WCC champion, St. Mary's Gaels.
The Gaels had simply too much fire power for the Lions to handle as they cruise to a 80-49 win to improve to 22-3, 9-1 in the WCC. The Gaels remain in a first place tie with Gonzaga. The Gaels won the first meeting between the two schools, and the team will rematch on March 1 at Gonzaga in Spokane, Wash.
The Lions fall to 5-21 and 2-8 in the WCC. The Lions were led by Orlando Johnson with 14 points and 6 rebounds. The Gaels were led by Patrick Mills with 22 points, 17 of which came in the first half.
