Former Indiana guard Jasai Miles scores 24 while LSU transfer Mazi Mosley adds 21 as Loyola Marymount's new-look backcourt flashes major potential ahead of the 2026-27 season.

LOS ANGELES — If Loyola Marymount's latest intrasquad scrimmage is any indication, the Lions may have found two major pieces capable of pushing them into the West Coast Conference title conversation.

Power Four transfers Jasai Miles and Mazi Mosley combined for 45 points and nine three-pointers, putting together the two most impressive offensive performances on the floor.

Miles, who arrives at LMU after playing at Indiana, led the way with 24 points, while Mosley, a former LSU guard, finished right behind him with 21.

For LMU, it was exactly the type of early performance the program hoped to see from two players who arrive with high-level college experience but now have an opportunity to take on significantly larger roles.

Jasai Miles Goes for 24

Miles delivered the highest-scoring performance of the scrimmage and did it efficiently.

He finished 8-of-14 from the field, knocked down 4-of-6 from three and went 4-of-6 at the free-throw line.

That's 24 points on 57.1% shooting from the floor and 66.7% from beyond the arc.

The performance is particularly intriguing because Miles has already demonstrated that he can produce when given a significant role at the Division I level.

Before his stop at Indiana, Miles played at North Florida, where he emerged as an All-ASUN performer and averaged 15.4 points and 6.8 rebounds during the 2024-25 season.

His opportunity was more limited after making the jump to the Big Ten, but LMU could provide the perfect situation for Miles to once again become a featured piece.

At 6-foot-6, his combination of size, scoring and experience gives the Lions a versatile perimeter option who can impact the game in multiple ways.

And if the shooting displayed in this scrimmage carries over, Miles becomes an even more difficult matchup.

Mazi Mosley Lights It Up From Deep

Mosley was every bit as impressive.

The former LSU guard poured in 21 points while shooting 8-of-12 from the field, but it was his perimeter shooting that immediately jumped off the box score.

Mosley buried 5-of-7 three-pointers, an incredible 71.4% from beyond the arc.

He didn't attempt a free throw. All 21 of his points came directly from the field.

That type of shot-making could be a major addition for LMU.

Mosley arrived at LSU as a highly regarded prospect after playing at Prolific Prep, but like many talented young players entering a Power Four program, immediate opportunities were limited.

Now he returns to Los Angeles with a chance to turn potential into production.

The early returns certainly look promising.

Mosley's ability to stretch the floor could completely change the spacing of LMU's offense, particularly when paired with a bigger guard like Miles who can score at multiple levels.

Miles and Mosley Combined for 45 Points and Nine Threes

The numbers become even more impressive when the two performances are put together.

Miles and Mosley combined to shoot 16-of-26 from the field, good for 61.5%.

From three-point range, they were a scorching 9-of-13, or 69.2%.

Add Miles' four made free throws and the two Power Four transfers accounted for 45 points.

That's not simply two players having solid scrimmages.

That's potentially the foundation of an offense.

LMU as a team finished with 42 made field goals on 89 attempts (47.2%), including 13-of-36 from three (36.1%), according to the provided scrimmage box score.

That means Miles and Mosley alone accounted for nine of LMU's 13 made three-pointers.

They were responsible for nearly 70% of the team's made threes.

LMU Has More Than Just Two Weapons

The encouraging part for the Lions is that the production wasn't limited to Miles and Mosley.

Andy Sigiscar was perfect from the field, going 5-of-5 and adding 6-of-8 at the free-throw line for 16 points.

Donovan Rivers scored 12 points on 5-of-9 shooting.

Aaron McBride added 9 points while shooting an efficient 4-of-5 from the field, while All Wright also scored 9, with seven of those points coming at the free-throw line.

That balance matters.

If Miles and Mosley become LMU's primary offensive threats while the Lions consistently receive efficient production from the supporting cast, this roster becomes much more difficult to defend.

Can LMU Make a Run at the WCC?

An intrasquad scrimmage isn't a conference game, and nobody is hanging a banner based on a preseason box score.

But it can provide an early indication of roles, chemistry and which newcomers may be ready to make an immediate impact.

For LMU, Miles and Mosley couldn't have provided a much stronger first impression.

Both have already experienced basketball at the Power Four level. Both came to LMU with something to prove. And both now have an opportunity to become significantly bigger pieces of a program looking to climb the WCC standings.

The conference title conversation will ultimately be settled against the league's best teams, not during an October scrimmage.

Still, adding two Power Four transfers who can combine for 45 points while hitting nine threes is exactly the type of talent infusion that can accelerate a program.

Miles brings the proven college production.

Mosley brings the upside and elite shot-making potential.

And if what LMU saw in this scrimmage becomes anything close to the norm once the games count, the Lions may have landed a pair capable of making them an immediate factor in the WCC championship race.
