LOS ANGELES - With the start of December, LMU enters the final weeks of the 2016 fall semester, and what comes with it is lots of studying and lots of basketball. Come take a break with the Lions in Gersten Pavilion the first 10 days of December as the Lions will play four games heading into finals week. Here is our #LIONSTRONG What To Watch For (#W2W4) for Dec. 2-10.

#W2W4: Dec. 2 - Women's Basketball vs. UC Santa Barbara

Women's basketball will begin the Study Break of Basketball on Friday, Dec. 2 when they host Big West rival UC Santa Barbara at 7 pm. It is THE CAGE night at the game with special give-aways for Cage Members. The game is free for Little Lions Club members.

#W2W4: Dec. 5 - Men's Basketball vs. Boise State

The men's basketball team returns to action following an impressive 78-62 win over Portland State by taking on one of the favorites in the Mountain West Conference, Boise State. The showdown went down to the wire in Boise last year with the Broncos stealing the game on a last second three-point play. The rematch tips-off at 7 pm on Monday, Dec. 5 and begins with THE CAGE PREGAME CELEBRATION at 6 pm. It is a special "Puppies at Pregame" with local shelters bringing by puppies to pet as a stress reliever for finals. "On Another Note" will perform the national anthem and the Lions Pride Dance Team will perform at halftime.
