Sacramento State (3-4) at Loyola Marymount (4-3), 7 p.m., KXLU-FM (88.9)--The Lions can win three in a row for the first time in three years with a victory. Bench play has been a major factor in victories over Texas A&M; and UC Santa Barbara. Loyola reserves outscored their counterparts in those two games by a combined 74-31. Coach Steve Aggers said Robert Davis, a starter last season, has embraced the sixth-man role. Guard Kent Dennis, who had 17 points against the Gauchos, and swingman Keith Kincade have taken on larger roles with the Lions. Sacramento defeated Cal State Fullerton, 85-79, in overtime Thursday, but the Hornets are winless on the road.
