MINNEAPOLIS, Minn. – Following Saturday's first leg of the two-game series from Williams Arena, the two teams will match up again for a Monday night for a rematch. Both LMU (1-1) and Minnesota (2-0) held leads of at least nine points in the opening contest, before the Gophers pulled away to take the game in the second half.
 
The Lions, led by five scorers in double-figures for the second consecutive game, received an early lift from Keli Leaupepe which resulted in not only the early surge but also viral recognition for his hairstyle and do-it-all style of play. Leaupepe, a member of last year's West Coast Conference All-Freshman team, was featured on ESPN's Sportscenter, The Big Ten Network, and Barstool Sports, among others after going 5-for-7 from the field and 2-for-3 from long range and showing off his signature hairstyle.

Both Eli Scott (14 and 9) and Dameane Douglas (10 and 9) were a rebound shy of another career double-double. Scott is tied for ninth all-time in program history with 14 double-doubles entering his senior year. Mattias Markusson (nine) and Douglas (two) are the only other two active players with multiple double-doubles in their careers.
 
LMU won the battle for points in the paint and bench points by a basket each.
 
The game will once again air on BTN at 7:00 PST (5:00 PT).
