LMU leading Gonzaga 50-45 with 14 min. left...

There's a lot of time left, but, LMU just went on a 14-4 run, and they may be on the verge of an upset. I don't understand how this team has only won 4 games in the WCC. They are a really young team, aren't they? Good athleticism...

58-51 Lions, 8:47 to go...

Up 8 now with 5 minutes left. It's looking good...

3:44 still 8 points

Too bad this one isn't on TV...

I was just looking for it, I'll stop now.

At least I can keep up with it with ESPN's RealTime. (although I don't know how RealTime it actually is.)

1:59 to go... LMU 68, GU 62

two minutes 6 points.

I think it's too much time

LMU 70, GU 64 with 41 sec left. looking good for LMU

LMU 74, GU 66 16 sec left, Guess who would be crying at this point.

Mesa? Is that you?

Wow...their first win over a ranked team in 20 years...since 1990. That's a team I don't want to face in the first round of the WCC tourney. Wins over GU and Notre Dame and only 5 wins in the WCC so far. Talk about inconsistent...

Congrats, LMU!

Sacre and Bouldin -- 3/17 for the night combined

I was able to get it up here, haha of what I watched (I can't do entire games of Craig Ehlo, even when it is funny listening to him stammer when the Zags lose) the Zags just looked really really flat and LMU, well, wasn't!

What's up with Stephen Gray this year? This is definitely not his first underwhelming performance this year....

No Geez that is my new best co-friend with Robs Jacket, we have some strong opinions about the "farm team" up North in the middle of nowhere (ie...baseball) but for me it is partly in jest. I'm not as mean-spirited as Angie and some of the Egos up there,and actually have some acquantiances who are Rabid Bulldog fans who I'm friendly with. It is just so fun to have fun with dominant programs whos fans think for some reason they were on the court with Fitz,Monsoon, and Pewey coaching or my fav. player Batista .(or RJ's fav Morrison,ha,ha).

Great win for my friends Fanblade, Ironlions down at LMU, we can only hope the victory took alot out of Vinney, Young, and the rest so like Pepperdine we can sneak in there and preform well again Saturday .


The "Real" MesaPilot1,lol

Thanks MesaPilot and other pilot fans cheering us on! What a huge win for our program. I remember winning in 2007 when we had a really... tragic season and things were quite bleak afterwards. Things don't look so dire this time around. I think it is good for the WCC when the "dwarves" can show they will not be auto-wins.

The inconsistent play that some mention from the lions is due to a roaming injury bug that has taken out most of our key players for big games. If two or three are on the bench we are a disaster. When our key plays are healthy and on the court we are beating USC, ND, and GU. I hope our game against you all this weekend will be more competitive than the flogging we received up North.

Replay is on FSN-NW right now...

It was on TV on my folk's satellite dish. But late in the second half they went to a Pac-10 game just starting instead of finishing the Zag game. We figured that caused many angry phone calls!

Thanks for the words of support Pilots. Was a huge game for our program. I hope we use the momentum and give you guys a better game then the pounding we recieved up there!

Yes IronLions,

It appears the "Pilotnation" has arisen from the PSU and Idaho defeats, and the drubbing by the Huskies. Hopefully this will be a catapult for you guys to finish the season strong.

As I was flipping back and forth between the games,I noticed a little "tiff" between Kevin Young and the coach. What was that all about? I don't won't to dwell on it to ruin your guys great win but it was great to see
Coach Max take the reigns and let all the players know who was in charge.


Continued good play, except Saturday
