"The final game of the night was Crespi pulling out a 65-61 win over Loyola when Isaiah Barnes scored while falling down with 15 seconds left for the game-clinching basket. Despite the loss, Loyola claimed fourth place in the seedings while finishing in a three-way tie for fourth with Crespi and St. Francis. The Cubs, though, are 14-14 and will need a win Saturday against the winner of Thursday's Bishop Alemany (No. 8) vs. St. Francis (No. 5) game to keep alive their Southern Section playoff hopes. You need a .500 or better record to be considered for an at-large berth."
"Harvard-Westlake 90, St. Francis 56: Joe Sterling got back his shooting touch, making seven threes and finishing with 27 points. Amir Jones added 17 points for Harvard-Westlake. St. Francis did not play center Cherif Millogo. Sherman Oaks Notre Dame 81, Bishop Alemany 48: The Knights claimed second place in the Mission League and an automatic spot for the Southern Section playoffs. Zach White had 26 points and 10 rebounds. Notre Dame played without NaVorro Bowman."
The Mission League tournament opens Thursday after final regular-season results determined seedings. Crespi defeated Loyola 65-61 when Isaiah Barnes scored a falling-down, game-clinching basket, leaving Loyola, Crespi and St. Francis in a three-way tie for fourth. Loyola sits 14-14 and must win Saturday against the Bishop Alemany vs. St. Francis winner to preserve Southern Section playoff hopes; teams need at least a .500 record for at-large consideration. Thursday matchups include Bishop Alemany (No. 8) vs. St. Francis (No. 5) and Chaminade (No. 7) at Crespi (No. 6), with winners advancing to face Harvard-Westlake. Harvard-Westlake rolled 90-56 behind Joe Sterling’s seven three-pointers.
