Unhappy about being sent halfway across the country in the middle of Horizon league play the Phoenix warmed up like the February SoCal temperatures and couldn't miss en route to 52 first half points effectively burying the 'Niners and their RPI-hopes.
The loss does nothing to hinder The Beach's goals of winning the Big West and getting a berth in March Madness come three Sundays from tomorrow but it does mean they may be staring down a 16 seed and at last check no 16 has ever won a game in the tournament.
Hate to be a downer, but I'm just saying.
LBSU hosts UCI Thursday night. They have a game-and-a-half lead over third place Pacific and UC Davis in the battle for two byes in the Big West tourney. So, three wins in their last four conference games would ensure a first or second place finish.
Update (1:35 A.M.) : In case you didn't believe me the latest version of ESPN's Bracketology is out and LBSU is a 16 seed facing Oklahoma and Player of the Year candidate Blake Griffin (Yikes).
