Result: Loss

*3 Star NCAA BB Big West Beatdown* Cal State Northridge has been getting blown out on a regular basis this year. The Matadors are a team that loves to push the tempo, but they aren't efficient at all on offense. What's even worse for them is that they are miserable on the defensive end of the court. UC Santa Barbara is one of the best defensive teams in the Big West Conference. UCSB has the best player in the conference in Orlando Johnson. I expect UCSB to get plenty of easy looks, and even if they miss they should get a lot of second chance points. Take UCSB.
