The only thing of concern about Fullerton is that they beat Pepperdine at Malibu, but we all know how deceptive such comparisons are. The Titans suffer from a lack of offense, averaging only 63.1 ppg and only one player, guard Donovan Oday, in double figures. As with a lot of coaches, Dedrique Taylor lost a lot of talent in the off season, Dominic Brewton most critically, and no one expected them to do very well. The Ags match up relatively well with the CSUF as far as size goes. The Titans have one titan, 6’11” sophomore forward Kendrick De Luna, but his stats don’t show him to be much of a force in the front court (1.9 rpg, 0.3 bpg).

Aside from their defeat of the Waves, they have no impressive wins and they’ve now lost four straight in conference play, all but one of them at home. In their last two games, they’ve been outscored (by CSUN and UCSD) by a combined score of 185-116. As good as Cal Poly and Long Beach State have looked so far, it is likely that Cal State Fullerton will wind up at the bottom of the Big West by the end of the season, still, as much as the Ags have struggled this season, they can’t take them too lightly. We need a win. Game is broadcast on ESPN+.
