Lockdown
LMU's back-to-back wins over Seattle (62-59) and UCSB (57-55) marked the first time since the 2011-12 season when the Lions earned two straight wins decided by one-possession. Previously, the Lions came away on top with two straight 57-54 decisions over Youngstown State Nov. 25 and New Mexico Dec. 1.

Locking the Lid
The Lions surrendered just three points against UC Irvine in the first quarter in a 58-39 win in its opening game of the LMU Thanksgiving Classic on Nov. 25, setting a new program record for fewest points allowed in a quarter, besting its mark of allowing just eight points a season ago against the Anteaters on Nov. 28, 2015. LMU'S 39 points allowed in the game marked its lowest opponent total since a 65-39 win over Jackson State Nov. 11, 2007.

Light it Up
Cheyanne Wallace's 20 points against San Diego State on Nov. 20 marked her sixth 20-plus point game of her career. Wallace also notched a career-high 26 points against Saint Louis on Nov. 13.

From Downtown
Leslie Lopez-Wood broke the all-time 3-point career record a season ago and holds 222 to her name. The senior has lead the Lions in triples in each of her three seasons, and also set the single season mark with 82 makes from beyond-the-arc a season ago.

Scouting Cal State Fullerton
After starting the season with four straight defeats, the Titans have taken their past two matchups to stand at 2-4 on the year.

Iman Latham, a transfer from Nevada, and Jordan Jackson, a transfer from Central Florida, are the lone Titans averaging double figures with 16.8 and 10.5 points per game, respectively. Head coach Daron Park is in his fourth season at the helm and has amassed a 30-68 mark, including a 14-34 record in Big West games.

The Series
LMU trails 6-12 in the all-time series, though it has gotten the upper hand recently as five of its wins have come in the previous eight matchups. The Titans are rebuilding after seven players, including four starters, departed the program following the conclusion of the 2015-16 season.
