2 New Attitude Has Lions Program on the Rise Entering Season NEW ATTITUDE Patience with a get it done right attitude is the best way to sum up the Loyola Marymount University men s basketball program heading into the season. The Lions accomplished more than most picked them to achieve in their first year under Head Coach Steve Aggers. However, as the Lions move into year two of the program they have discovered a new attitude. Under Aggers, who was named by CollegeInsider.com as the West Coast Conference Coach of the Year last season, the Lions earned a seven-game swing, the fifth best in program history. It was the second best under a first-year head coach at LMU, only second to Paul Westhead s eightgame swing in The turnaround has the Lions, and for the first time in many years the community around them, looking for bright things to come. We have been able to change the attitude and culture of the program into more of a success oriented and positive can do atmosphere, said Aggers. I like the changes we have been able to make in one short year. We have made major strides but still have a lot of work to do to get the program where we all want it to be. Patience is the operative word as we all realize that the turnaround of this program was not going to be accomplished in one short year. We will all keep working hard and working smart and being consistent with what we are trying to accomplish. What the Lions 5Robert Davis led the Lions in scoring last year and is one of the seven seniors returning for the season. accomplished in the season turned some heads in the West Coast Conference. They finished the season 9-19 and 5-9 in the WCC, earning a fifth place tie with San Francisco. The finish in the WCC was opposite of what the coaches (tied for 7th) and the media on the West Coast (8th) picked of the Lions. I was very proud of how our student-athletes represented themselves, our program and our University this past season. We restored the pride in LMU basketball and our guys did a great job on the court, in the classroom and on our campus, said Aggers. We have made great progress in all areas with the best yet to come. The biggest strides came in conference play. They earned two sweeps, taking both games from Portland and Saint Mary s. It was the first sweep of a conference opponent since they swept Pepperdine in 1996 and the first double sweep since the 1990 Elite Eight team. And as the Lions began to remove the ghosts from previous years, the fans of LMU took notice. The Lions home crowds at Gersten Pavilion more than doubled, giving the Lions the best attendance at home since 1996 when the Lions were I am very excited about the changes we have made and the improvements we have been able to make in our first season, said Aggers. We were able to reconnect with our student body and get the students to return to our games in support of the Lions. We also made progress in winning the support of our alumni and loyal fans from the past. We knew that if we displayed an entertaining style of play and our guys played together and played hard that fans would come to see us play... and they did. It is only going to get better for LMU as seven seniors and a balanced group of underclassmen will make up a much deeper Lions roster on a team still centered around a Team First attitude. It will be interesting to see where the leadership for our team comes from, said Aggers. We have seven seniors and a nice nucleus of returning players that will be familiar with our program, the system and what we expect of our players. THE SENIORS All seven of the returning seniors averaged more than 11 minutes per game. The group of seniors consists of Philipp Czernin (G/F, 6-6, 210, Sr., Pacific Palisades, CA), Robert Davis (G, 6-2, 200, Sr., Tempe, AZ), Greg Lakey (F, 6-9, 235, Sr., Lynwood, CA), Tyler McClenahan (G, 6-0, 170, Sr., San Jose, CA), Sean Mollins (F, 6-7, 220, Sr., Redondo Beach, CA), Eurskine Robinson (G, 6-0, 180, Sr., Palmdale, CA) and Marcus Smith (G, 6-0, 185, Sr., Vacaville, CA). The Team First concept was evident in the unselfish play and balanced scoring from last year s squad. Five players averaged more than eight points per game, seven players led the team in scoring for a single game, and the Lions finished 18 games with three or more scoring in double figures. With the balanced attack, it is no surprise that all seven seniors bring something different to this year s squad. The Defender Of the experienced core of players, Marcus Smith returns after earning honorable mention all-conference accolades and academic allconference honors. He is the first player to achieve both feats in the same season since Peter Cornell in the season. After starting non-conference play in his first season at LMU with a scoring average of under five points per 5Greg Lakey will try to rebound from major foot surgery to return to the level of play that saw him score a season-high 29 points last year. game, Smith turned it up with a 10-point average in conference play. In addition, he drew some of the toughest defensive assignments last season and was a finalist for WCC Defensive Player of the Year. He was, however, voted defensive player of the year by his teammates. He led the team with 31 steals. Offense Robert Davis, who will be entering his third season of play for the Lions over the past four years (he played his sophomore season at Chandler Gilbert J.C.), led the Lions in scoring with 11.9 points per game. Despite standing only 6-2, Davis averaged 4.2 rebounds per game, fourth on the team. He was ranked 11th in the WCC in scoring. Size At 6-9, Greg Lakey is the tallest returning player for the Lions. His 29 points against Sacramento State earned him Player of the Week honors in the WCC (Dec. 9), the first in over two years for the program. Lakey finished third on the team with 10.4 points per game and 4.6 rebounds. He finished 15th in the WCC in scoring and 8th in free throw percentage (.732). The Point Point guard Eurskine Robinson was fifth in the WCC in assists, averaging more than three per game. He also ranked fourth in assist/turnover ratio at Robinson also averaged 29 minutes a game, second most behind Davis (29.9) LMU Basketball

3 Little of Everything Playing in all 28 games on the season, Philipp Czernin showed a little of everything. The best evidence of it was against Sacramento State. He finished the game close to a triple-double with nine points, nine assists and eight rebounds. He finished the season averaging 6.1 points, 3.0 rebounds, and 2.1 assists. Most-Improved Sean Mollins, who was a walk-on from DeAnza College, gave the Lions some much needed depth on the front line. He finished the season scoring 4.4 points per game, increasing it in conference contests with a 6.8 average. He was voted as the most improved player by his teammates last season and hit the game winning shot with four seconds left in the Lions first conference win since the season over WCC preseason favorite San Diego. Surprise Walk-on Tyler McClenahan was another walk-on that proved to give the Lions much needed depth and a solid backup for Robinson. He earned a pair of starts playing in 11 minutes a game and finished fourth in the country hitting 50 percent of his three-pointers (17-34). THE YOUNG NUCLEUS Kent Dennis (G, 6-3, 195, So., Los Angeles, Calif) and Keith Kincade (G/F, 6-6, 215, So., Norwalk, CA) will come off their required redshirt season with a year of practice in the Team First system. They are expected to have an instant impact. Dennis, who recorded 25 points, eight rebounds, six assists and five steals at Grover Cleveland High School, played 19 games for West Virginia his freshman season. He averaged 11 minutes and 3.7 points per game. Kincade, also heavily recruited, came out of Dominguez High School where he averaged 14 points a game for the 32-3 state champions, played in 20 games for the Mountaineers and averaged 3.2 points per game. As a senior at Dominguez he was named California Division 2 State Player of the Year on the state championship team. 5Eurskine Robinson ran the point last year for the Lions and will be an onthe-court leader again this season. Fellow sophomore Sherman Gay (F, 6-7, 200, So., Carson, CA) is also coming off a year of experience, his first on the collegiate level. He averaged only 1.6 points and 1.7 rebounds per game, but earned valuable playing time in conference play, including a career high 11-point effort against Gonzaga, who advanced to the NCAA Sweet 16. After only returning two players with experience in his first year at the helm of the program, Aggers will have eight with playing experience and 10 who have been in his system for a year. Adding to those 10 players will be the first full recruiting class under coach Aggers, and the biggest need heading into the season seemed to be addressed: size. THE NEWCOMERS The Lions signed four players and three of them measured in at 6-8 or higher. The group will include two incoming freshman, Charles Brown (G, 6-0, 170, Fr., Hercules, CA) and Andy Osborn (F, 6-9, 220, Fr., Longmont, CO). Joining the pair of freshman will be junior transfers Miroslav Neskovic (F, 6-9, 230, Jr., Uzice, Yugoslavia) and Jason Dickens (F, 6-7, 230, Jr., Tucson, AZ). We are very happy with our first full recruiting class. We were able to address some pressing needs by adding youth for class balance and more size on the font line, said Aggers. We also got a quality young point guard who has a bright future in our program. The Lions first two signees were Brown and Osborn, committing during the early signing period in November. Brown led De La Salle High School to the Northern California championship game and a 27-5 record. Osborn led Longmont High School to the Colorado quarterfinals and a record of 22-1 while ranking among the state s top-five in points, rebounds and blocks. He was voted runner-up for the State of Colorado Player of the Year. Neskovic, who is a native of Uzice, Yugoslavia, is transferring to LMU from Casper Junior College in Wyoming. Another 6-foot, 9-inch forward, Neskovic led the Wyoming Conference with 17 points and 6.6 rebounds per game while shooting 52 percent from the field. He finished the season as a first-team all-conference selection. Dickens will transfer to LMU from Davidson College and will redshirt the season due to NCAA transfer rules. Dickens was third on the team in scoring, averaging 10.6 points per game. He led the squad shooting 50 percent from the field (87-174) and was fourth on the squad with 4.7 rebounds per game. In playing 27 games and averaging 17.7 minutes per game as a freshman, he finished the season averaging 6.3 points and 3.1 rebounds. The Lions also will add walk-on transfer Chris Trumpy (G, 6-2, 195, So., Victoria, Canada) to the roster. He will also redshirt due to the transfer rules, coming from the University of Victoria. If you add those players to the two redshirts that we recruited last summer, it makes for five good young players, four of which will be in the freshman or sophomore class. We have gotten the train back on the tracks and now we can work at making bigger strides toward improvement, said Aggers. DEMANDING SCHEDULE Another challenging schedule awaits the Lions for the season, including the very demanding West Coast Conference portion and a preseason tournament that will give the Lions a chance to play more than 30 games this season. In addition, the Lions will be on television nine times this season, including the Guardian s Classic. We have challenged our team by adding the preseason Guardian s Classic Tournament, said Aggers. It is similar to the preseason NIT. It will get us some great competition and national television exposure. In addition to the preseason tournament, the Lions will have another tough nonleague schedule. However, this season, Lion s fans will have opportunity to see even more great basketball in Gersten Pavilion. A tougher non-league schedule will help us to find out who we are and give us an idea of what we can become and accomplish if we work hard together. The Lions will host UNLV, Big West Champions UC Irvine, Idaho State, Cal State Sacramento, UC Santa Barbara and NCAA Elite 8 participant USC. Our fans will be given a great opportunity to see some quality opponents in Gersten. On the road in non-conference action, the Lions will take on Texas A&M, Montana, Long Beach State, Cal State Fullerton, and Portland State. The conference portion of the schedule will start with a road trip to the Bay Area and then a homestand against Portland and the defending champs, Gonzaga. The end of January will feature road games at San Diego, Santa Clara and Pepperdine. The Lions will return home for five of their final seven in Gersten Pavilion. They will finish the season against Santa Clara and San Diego at the end of February in Gersten. In addition to the Guardian s Classic games, the contests at Santa Clara, at Gonzaga and both games against Pepperdine will be on FOX Sports Net. ESPN Plus will broadcast the game against UNLV and ESPN will broadcast the WCC Championship game. 5Marcus Smith earned All- Conference honorable mention honors in LMU Basketball

And after one season, the Lions have put a foundation in place that earned Aggers national praise. Placing the emphasis on a Team First program that will stress attention to every detail, Aggers led the Lions to a seven-game turnaround and a fifth place tie in the West Coast Conference. It was the second best turnaround for a first-year head coach in program history. The effort earned Aggers the CollegeInsider.com Coach of the Year honors in the WCC. His first season produced a deceiving 9-19 overall record and a 5-9 mark in the WCC. However, it was seven more wins than the year prior and Aggers did it with very little to work with. His first season saw only two players return with experience at the Division I level. With only eight scholarship players and three walk-ons, Aggers produced a team that found themselves believing in the Team First concept and fighting in every game. Under the guidance of Aggers, the Lions were competitive in every game except at Gonzaga and at USC, with both teams reaching the Sweet 16 and USC advancing to the Elite Eight. Of the Lions losses, eight were by eight points or less. Here is what else the Lions accomplished in their first season under Aggers: First sweep of two WCC opponents (Saint Mary s and Portland) since the Lion squad that went to the Elite Eight. First WCC Player of the Week (Greg Lakey) since two Lions shared it on Jan. 18, A 50 percent increase in overall attendance and 70 percent increase in student attendance. Also the largest average home attendance (more than 1500) since 1996 when the Lions were 11-3 at home. First player (Marcus Smith) to earn both All-Conference and Academic All-Conference honors in the same season since the season. First back-to-back road wins (Sacramento State and Loyola- Chicago) since There were 10 players who scored in double figures at least once in a game, tied with the season for the most in the last decade of Lions basketball. Had two players (Pablo Machado and Marcus Smith) on the 10-man Academic All-Conference team for the first time since the season. Steve has a fantastic record of rebuilding programs, stated LMU Director of Athletics William Husak. He has been successful on every level of the coaching profession, but more importantly his emphasis on academics is very impressive. He also has a very strong and reputable track record in the recruiting arena which is very important to our program. Prior to LMU, Aggers had a phenomenal five-year run at Eastern Washington. Guiding the Eagles to a share of their first Big Sky Conference title in school history in the season. EWU finished the season at overall and 12-4 in conference play.

8 What they are saying about Coach Aggers ÒI have known Steve for over 15 years and think a great deal of him as a person and a coach. He did a fantastic job rebuilding Eastern WashingtonÕs program and deserved the opportunity to do the same at Loyola Marymount. I have a lot of confidence he will do even better things at LMU. It is, in my estimation, a sleeping giant here on the West Coast. LMU is lucky to have a coach the caliber of Steve and theyõll have success because of him.ó 8Jim Harrick Georgia Head Coach ÒSteve has done a great job of turning this into a situation in which they will win ball games. People who come in here (Gersten Pavilion) are going to have to play all-out to win.ó 8Dick Davey Santa Clara Head Coach ÒIt was my sincere pleasure to have played for Coach Aggers from He is a solid recruiter, motivator and coach. Playing for him, I learned to fully appreciate the true meaning of commitment on the court and in the classroom. He helped me turn dreams into goals into reality. I am indebted to him as my mentor and friend for the values and intangibles he taught me.ó 8Mick Richter MD Former Player of Aggers ÒEverything I do as a coach, in practice, in games or even in staff meetings has been influenced by the time I spent working with Steve. Traits of loyalty, dedication, goal setting, care and trust have always been a part of me, but after working with Steve, these characteristics have more value. When you see them lived out and successful, one places a greater belief in them.ó 8Eric Hjort Former AggersÕ Assistant Heritage (CO) High School Head Coach A native of Laramie, Wyo., Aggers graduated with a bachelor of science degree in 1971 from Chadron State College in Chadron, Neb.
