* SAN FRANCISCO (11-16, 4-8) at LOYOLA MARYMOUNT (8-17, 4-8), 7, KXLU-FM (88.9)--The records may not reflect it, but this is a key game for two struggling teams. The winner will take over sole possession of fifth place and would avoid either Gonzaga or Pepperdine in next week’s WCC tournament. Loyola has a shot at reaching double digits in victories after winning only two games last season.
