This is David Denenberg at Matador Field Senior outfielder Richard Cates got into scoring position but it didn’t pan out as Parham struck out at the plate to end the first inning scoreless. A lack of hustle in critical fielding plays was the difference as Santa barbara exposed CSUN early with a sacrifice RBI and then a triple from UCSB leftfielder Gunnar Terhune really got things going for the Gauchos.

I find it quite funny that the Pacific Tigers, team the Matadors beat enroute to the NCAA Tournament, are still playing. Their season hasn’t ended and they’ve actually just made the Collegeinsider.com Tournament’s semifinals. Pacific defeated Idaho, 69-59, at the Spanos Center. Idaho also beat CSUN earlier this season. It must be a weird feeling having celebrated Senior Day and then showing up two weeks later for yet another home game.
Kansas City, Mo. – With a game plan based on invisible things – belief and effort – the Matadors ran out under the Sprint Center’s bright lights Thursday morning. All their NCAA Tournament first round match-up Memphis believed was the second round would be played Saturday. The Tigers’ belief came true. They beat the Matadors 81-70. Their made-up minds of secure victory changed quickly into the game, though. The Matadors got out to a fast start and held No. 3… Read more

Kansas City, Mo. – I’ll keep this post open for anyone who wonders what the Matadors are up to since right now (Tuesday at 7:10 p.m. CT) until it’s time for their NCAA Tournament first round match-up against Memphis. Wednesday 11:30 p.m. CT: Team meeting adjourned. Everyone to sleep! Can the Matadors actually sleep tonight? Maybe Rodrigue Mels can … 9:20 p.m. CT: The team had practice in a private gym and ate dinner. Assistant Coach Louis Wilson saw his… Read more
It’s been two hours since the Matadors men’s basketball team took off on a bus to Bob Hope Airport, but they’re still waiting inside their charter plane to leave California towards their NCAA Tournament first round destination: Kansas City, Mo. No problems. They’re only waiting on everyone to get checked in by security. Pretty soon they’ll be as high as their hopes to upset No. 2 Memphis.
City Editor Adolfo Flores reporting: Mark H. Williams, Jeffrey Braswell’s attorney, said “the standard for deciding if a case goes to court is very low,” suggesting the son of the CSUN men’s basketball coach and Deon Tresvant’s case will most likely become a trial after arguments scheduled for tomorrow at 8:30 a.m. Detective John Macchiarella, who represented the prosecution, said that Tresvant and Braswell had stolen from the Porter Ranch Best Buy prior to the alleged New Year’s Day incident….
