He hasn’t taken many shots, but the one he’s gone up for, he’s made. James Doran just made his fifth three-pointer of the night (this one with Rob Haynes right in his face). The Matadors are relying on Rodrigue Mels for their scoring. And here’s ANOTHER three from Doran. Pacific’s lead is 51-48 with five minutes [...]…
Read moreHe’s alright after all and CSUN’s back on top 45-43 with 7:36 to go. Pacific took a four-point lead but back-to-back jumpers from Rodrigue Mels have the Matadors ahead again. Cordell will have to play the last seven minutes of the game since Willie Galick just fouled out with 7:07 to go. …
Read moreVincent Cordell was trapped by a group of Tigers who stripped him of the ball and appears to have hurt his elbow on the play. He’s being attended by the team doctor. CSUN now trails 49-40 with 11:41 to go in the game. Free throws coming up for Pacific. …
Read moreWillie Galick (6-foot-8) picked up two fouls in about ten seconds and Vincent Cordell (6-foot-6) has come in in his place. Cordell just picked up a foul trying to guard Pacific’s Anthony Brown, who seems to be ticked off at Mark Hill. Brown’s been called for off-the-ball fouls on the guard and hasn’t liked it [...]…
Read moreDoran’s got the hot hand for Pacific. His back-to-back 3-pointers tied the game at 25-25. CSUN got the last possession of the first half but Mark Hill missed an off-balance jumper. Doran has three 3-pointers and leads all scorers with 11 points. CSUN shot 47 percent overall in the first half. Pacific hit 32 percent. The difference was [...]…
Read morePacific’s shooting 25 percent from the floor. Defensive stance to remember: A CSUN zone had Pacific swinging the ball all over trying to find an open man. They couldn’t find anyone so Chad Troyer hosted up a 3-pointer from about 30 feet that drew nothing but air. CSUN up 23-17 and in the penalty. …
Read morePacific’s slowly getting back into the game. Two free throws from Casey Neimeyer have cut the CSUN lead to 19-17. They now have a chance to tie or go ahead in the score. And these Spanos Center speakers are deafening. Therin Taylor just made an incredible layup. He was fouled, but couldn’t make the free throw. CSUN [...]…
Read moreThere was a time when a Mark Hill 3-pointer was a synonym of miss. Those times are gone. Not to say the point guard has turned into Steve Nash but he’s hitting the long shot more consistently. Tonight he’s 2-of-2. CSUN leads 14-7 with 10 minutes to go in the first half. …
Read moreThat’s the only thing the Matadors might have gotten startled at: The Spanos Center’s Tiger roar. CSUN’s up 7-0 and the Tigers have missed their first six shots. Bad news for CSUN though: Last game’s leading scorer, Kenny Daniels, has two fouls. And now Pacific scores four quick points. CSUN up 7-4 with 14:20 to go in [...]…
Read moreEveryone has a numerous band except for CSUN. Yes, I have seen the Northridge band at the Matadome, but not consistently. And when they are there, it’s never more than 10 people playing. CSUN starts with Mark Hill, Rob Haynes, Willie Galick, Kenny Daniels and Tremaine Townsend. Pacific’s starters: Chad Troyer, Michael Kirby, Anthony Brown, Sam Willard [...]…
