While LBSU is a perfect 3-0 at home the 'Niners fell to just 1-5 on the road with losses to Weber State and Syracuse.
While a loss to the 13th-ranked 'Cuse 2700 miles from The Beach after a 9 a.m. Pacific tip-off is nothing to be ashamed of, the trend of leaving opposing buildings on the wrong side of the score sheet is.
If this team wants to contend in the Big West they are absolutely going to have to win away from home.
While maybe the four-game winning streak got the year-two-leap-under-coach-Monson hysteria whipped up a bit too quickly this team is good and can play much better.
Montana State comes to town Saturday then on Monday Christmas comes early to The Beach.
Not the jolly fat guy with the beard or that white stuff seen on top of the mountains but Dionte Christmas and the Temple Owls.
Christmas dropped 35 on Bruce Pearl and the 8th-ranked Tennessee Volunteers en route to a 88-72 beatdown.
How's that for some holiday spirit?
Prior to Saturday afternoon I thought Temple, who was just 4-3 at the time and had lost by 16 at home to Miami (OH) would provide little more than a marquee name on the schedule but Scrooge and co. look a little more daunting now.
It's off to play Ernie Kent and the Oregon Ducks before New Year's and Big West conference play greets Long Beach promptly in 2009 with a Jan 2 battle against UCSB.
