Cal State Fullerton rebounded from a demoralizing loss at Arizona to defeat Montana, 100-91, on Friday night. You don't play "must win" games in November, but this was one that the Titans (4-1) desperately needed. Frank Robinson looked lost at Arizona on Wednesday, but had 30 points against Grizzlies. Josh Akognon added 26 as the Titans shot 56 percent from three point land (14-of-25) for the game. (The Titans shot 52 percent from the field overall.)Where the hell was this on Wednesday night? Arizona is obviously one of the top teams in the country, but there should been a little bit more fire from this team. You want players who relish the spotlight, not run from it, so there is a little disappointment here. The Titans, as evidenced by Wednesday night, are nothing without Robinson and Akognon. Fullerton can't have games where they disappear and expect to have a winning season. Or at least a season that extends past the semi-finals of the Big West tournament.
Still, this team could have easily gone into the tank after such a demoralizing loss and the key here was to just get the win. Even if you have to give up 91 points to do it. You know this must have been a very important game to coach Bob Burton who played Scott Cutley for 30 minutes after he returned early from an ankle injury. Marcus Crenshaw also had another solid game with 13 points and five assists. Crenshaw was third on the team with 29 minutes, but he is clearly the catalyst for the Titans and needs to be on the court at all times.
(Thanks for Dr. Buzan for the scoring updates tonight, too.)Dusquesne 97, Cal State Northridge 74: How embarrassing must it be to lose to a team whose name you cannot pronounce? Just kidding kids, the name is pronounced: Douche-Knee. Seriously, next time you see a Dusquesne fan (if there is one) say, "Hey, you went to Douche-Knee."
This would have been a good win for the Big West to get over on the Atlantic 10, but this just wasn't to be. Porn Star State committed 26 turnovers in the loss. You just don't expect that from a Bobby Braswell team. Oh wait, you do.
Pepperdine 86, Texas Pan-American 84: Three members of the Texas Pan-American team defected to Malibu, never wanting to go back to Texas again. Or at least Edinburg, Texas.
New Mexico State is currently beating Chicago State in the Lou Henson Classic. Henson was the former NMSU coach who had to retire because of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. Let's go ahead and declare the Aggies the winner in this game so I can go catch Goodfellas on TV. Be sure to catch the box score here. (Update: New Mexico State wins 94-61.)
The Aggies are also nearing a conclusion on both Jahmar Young and Herb Pope. The NCAA received the files on Young and should have a decision in a week. Coach Marvin Menzies is hopeful that Young can play. The situation around Pope is more clouded, and while a decision should be soon, the smart money says he has to red-shirt this season.
