02/16/2012 - Moraga, CA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Drew Viney dropped in a team-high 17 points while Anthony Ireland added 16 with seven assists as Loyola Marymount handed No. 21 Saint Mary's its first home loss in almost a year with a 75-60 decision.
Jarred DuBois finished with 15 points and Ashley Hamilton contributed 11 for Loyola Marymount (17-10, 10-4 WCC), which halted an 11-game losing streak to Saint Mary's.
"We won this game defensively," said LMU head coach Max Good. "We did a great job on their guards, and really kept fighting the entire night. And it was another team win for us. They played very well as a group tonight. The entire team contributed to this win."
Rob Jones recorded his 16th double-double of the season with 25 points and 15 rebounds for the Gaels (23-4, 12-2), who had their 16-game home win streak snapped. Saint Mary's had not lost a game at McKeon Pavilion since dropping a 71-70 decision to Kent State on March 15, 2011.
Ireland opened the game with a three-pointer, sparking a 9-2 run to give Loyola Marymount the early lead.
The Gaels battled back with an 11-2 spurt to take a two-point advantage, but the Lions responded with a 19-7 run to take a double-digit lead, 30-20, with less than six minute remaining in the first half.
Saint Mary's, though, closed out the half scoring nine of the last 13 points and trailed by a mark of 34-29 at the break.
A pair of Matthew Dellavedova jumpers followed by a Jones layup put the Gaels on top, 35-34, a little over two minutes into the second half.
But that would be the last time Saint Mary's would be on top, as the Lions responded with an 18-7 run to retake their double-digit lead, 52-42, just past the midpoint of the second half.
The Gaels would not get any closer than five for the remainder of the game as the Lions' defense, which forced 14 Saint Mary's turnovers in the contest, never let the Gaels put an extended run together.
Game Notes
Loyola Marymount improved to 4-4 in its last eight games against ranked opponents...Dellavedova had 10 points, six assists and five rebounds for Saint Mary's, leaving him one assist shy of becoming the school's all-time leader...The Gaels held a 41-32 rebounding advantage.

The 2009 AP NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year odds have been released and Denver Broncos' running back Knowshon Moreno has been made the opening favorite.
Moreno was selected in the first round of April's NFL draft and is expected to carry the rushing load for the Broncos this season. And with Jay Cutler now in Chicago, Moreno might be expected to be Denver's entire offense.
Betting Lines from sports betting lines have made Moreno a 5/2 favorite to win this year's Offensive Rookie of the Year Award. Fellow running back Chris “Beanie” Wells (Arizona Cardinals) is right behind Moreno at 7/2, while Donald Brown (Indianapolis Colts) and receiver Michael Crabtree (San Francisco 49ers) are 5/1 to win. Quarterbacks Mark Sanchez (New York Jets) and Matthew Stafford (Detroit Lions) are 7/1 and 8/1, respectively.
A couple of players who present some value are Josh Freeman, Shonn Green and Darrius Heyward-Bey.
Freeman needs to beat out Byron Leftwich to become the starting quarterback of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers but if he does, he has a lot or raw talent and could use the weapons around him (i.e. Kellen Winslow Jr. and Antonio Bryant) to be very successful in his first season.
Green enters a crowded backfield in New York, but considering both Thomas Jones and Leon Washington are unhappy about their contract situations and might holdout, the former Iowa product could become the Jets' primary back.
Everyone was shocked when Al Davis took Heyward-Bey with the eighth overall pick in April's draft, but the kid has a tremendous amount of talent and if quarterback JaMarcus Russell takes the next step this year, the former Maryland product could blossom. Plus, Heyward-Bey will be looking to prove the people wrong who said Oakland should have taken Michael Crabtree with the No. 8 pick.
And if you're looking for a deep sleeper, check out Pat White at 30/1. He enters the Miami Dolphins vaunted “Wild Cat” offense and could be a big time playmaker.
