LOS ANGELES -- Due to demand for one of the biggest home schedules in school history, the season ticket renewal window for the 2016-17 LMU men's basketball season has been extended. Fans have until Wednesday, Oct. 19 to renew and purchase season tickets before seats are released for special ticket packages and individual game tickets for the Lions' loaded 18-game home schedule, including games against UConn, Boise State, Gonzaga, Saint Mary's, BYU and more.

Sales for individual game tickets and special ticket packages will be delayed until Oct. 19 to accommodate season ticket renewals and purchases.
