Hank Gathers Statue Unveiled at LMU: In February, LMU unveiled a statue to honor Lions men’s basketball team stand-out Hank Gathers. He competed for the LMU Lions from 1987-1990 and is still the all-time leading scorer and second in all time rebounding. He became West Coast Conference (WCC) POY, but passed away during his senior year after collapsing at a WCC Tournament game. The unveiling coincided with the 30th anniversary the LMU men’s basketball team’s Elite Eight run in the NCAA Tournament.
