Nonconference

Loyola Marymount (8-6) vs. Akron (7-3), 5 -- The Lions will be without their two leading scorers, Brandon Worthy and Matthew Knight. Worthy (averaging 18.5 points) is out for the season because of a torn knee ligament and Knight (17.2) is skipping this trip because of a strained knee. Adoyah Miller will have to pick up the slack for a team that has lost four of its last six games. Akron, the Mid-American Conference favorite, has lost two of its last three games.
