LOS ANGELES, Calif. -- From the moment the LMU men's basketball tipped off against Montana at Gersten Pavilion Thursday night at 7:05 p.m., through their 4:00 p.m. PT)/7:00 p.m.(ET) tip with Notre Dame and the journey before and after, this 72-hour journey is not for the faint of heart.

And all of this comes right before finals for the Lions.

Follow the Lions through his lens throughout the next 72 hours. His photos and comments will be posted on through the Photo Gallery section of LMULions.com.
