LOS ANGELES – For the first time this season, LMU men's basketball has an opportunity against a nationally-ranked opponent. Ranked No. 16 in the country, Colorado State travels to the Bluff for one of the final non-conference games of the season.
 
The Lions defeated two nationally ranked-teams last season, taking down No. 6 Gonzaga and No. 15 Saint Mary's, and have an opportunity for a signature win at home this Friday at Gersten Pavilion.
 
Friday night's game will also feature several elements for the fans in attendance to celebrate Iggy's Holiday Bash.
 
Families can arrive early for a special photo opportunity with Santa Claus in the lobby before tipoff, while all children in attendance can join Santa on the court at halftime for a reading of "The Night Before Christmas."
 
All fans are also encouraged to bring a new, plush toy to throw onto the court at halftime for the Holiday Teddy Bear Toss. All collected toys will be donated to Children's Hospital Los Angeles.
 
The first 500 fans in attendance will receive an LMU Lions themed holiday beanie!
 
Tickets are available here.
