Loyola Marymount Lions

The Loyola Marymount Lions play at Gersten Pavilion in Los Angeles, competing in the West Coast Conference. The Lions bring Jesuit education and WCC basketball to the City of Angels. LMU's crimson and blue colors and Los Angeles location create a competitive identity.

Loyola Marymount reached the 1990 Elite Eight in a tournament run dedicated to Hank Gathers, who tragically collapsed and died during the WCC tournament. Bo Kimble shot free throws left-handed in Gathers' honor during the NCAA Tournament. The emotional run captivated the nation. The Lions have made five tournament appearances.
