The Matadors look NOTHING like they looked just four days ago when they barely escaped with a 62-57 win against eighth-place UCSB. CSUN’s leading 70-47 with 13:13 to go. That’s not a typo. The Matadors are indeed leading by 23.

Long Beach State does not look like it’s tied for No. 1 in the Big West. That’s got a lot to do with what CSUN’s doing, obviously.
