The Gonzaga Bulldogs (16-7, 7-3 WCC) look to get back on track Thursday when the Loyola Marymount Lions (14-8, 6-4 WCC) bring their five-game winning streak to the McCarthey Athletic Center for a West Coast Conference tilt in Spokane. Tip-off is set for 6 p.m. PT/9 p.m. ET.

The Zags enter the matchup having lost three of their last five contests, the latest a 62-58 setback to Saint Mary's on Saturday. Gonzaga trailed by 14 in the first half, took the lead midway through the second half but couldn't muster enough offense down the stretch while going 2-for-12 from the field over the final 9 minutes of regulation.

On the other side, the Lions (14-8, 6-4 WCC) have been one of the WCC's hottest teams as of late. With its come-from-behind win over San Diego last week, LMU has won five straight games in WCC play — the program's first such streak since 1991. Four LMU players finished in double-digit scoring, led by Myron Amey Jr.'s 16 points, while Jevon Porter had a double-double of 14 points and 12 rebounds.

Porter was named WCC Player of the Week for the second time this season after he recorded back-to-back double-doubles while putting up 13.0 points, 11.0 rebounds, 2.5 steals, 1.5 assists and 1.0 blocks in LMU's two wins.

Gonzaga won the first meeting of the season in a 96-68 final from Gersten Pavilion on Jan. 4. Graham Ike, the team's leading scorer, put up 27 points and nine rebounds. Khalif Battle added 26 as the Zags scored 56 points in the paint and went 52.8% from the field overall.
