  • CSUN men roll right over Rainbows


    The Cal State Northridge basketball team raced to an 83-60 victory over Hawaii on Thursday night in SimpliFi Arena at Stan Sheriff Center.

    A crowd of 2,603 saw the Matadors, who entered with the nation’s fourth-fastest offense (14.7 seconds per possession), beat the ’Bows down the court and on the boards.

    Cal Baptist transfer Scotty Washington scored a game-high 24 points and Marcus Adams, who played at BYU last season, had 18 points. Keonte Jones contributed 12 points and 12 rebounds.

    The ’Bows tried several combinations but could not unlock their offense. They were 3-for-20 on 3-point shots. They only had two assists in the second half. Starting wing Ryan Rapp went to the bench after being assessed back-to-back fouls with 17 minutes left in the first half. Center Tanner Christensen, who scored 37 points in the previous two games, picked up his fourth foul with 15:25 remaining in the second half.

    The Matadors buried eight of 14 3-point shots and made 53.3% of their overall field-goal attempts. Of their 40 rebounds, 14 were grabbed off the offensive glass.

    The ’Bows, who entered on a three-game winning streak, fell to 11-6 overall and 3-3 in the Big West. They play host to Cal State Bakersfield on Saturday night.




    The CSUN men’s basketball team dominated the University of Hawaii Rainbow Warriors in a thrilling matchup last night. The Matadors came out strong and never let up, rolling right over their opponents with impressive plays and a relentless defense.

    From the opening tip-off, CSUN showed their determination and skill, taking an early lead and never looking back. The Matadors’ offense was firing on all cylinders, with players like TJ Starks and Darius Brown II leading the charge and scoring at will.

    On the defensive end, CSUN shut down the Rainbow Warriors, forcing turnovers and limiting their scoring opportunities. The Matadors’ intensity and hustle on defense were key factors in their victory, as they never allowed Hawaii to get into a rhythm.

    Overall, it was a dominant performance by the CSUN men’s basketball team, as they cruised to a convincing win over the Rainbow Warriors. With this impressive victory, the Matadors have shown that they are a force to be reckoned with in the Big West Conference.

  • Men’s Basketball Streak Halted in Loss to CSUN


    HONOLULU – The University of Hawai’i men’s basketball team saw its three-game win streak snapped with an 83-60 loss to CSUN  Thursday night at SimpliFi Arena at Stan Sheriff Center. The Rainbow Warriors dropped to 11-6 overall and 3-3 in the Big West. 
     
    After trailing for the first seven minutes, CSUN (12-6, 4-3) used a pivotal run to take the lead midway through the first half. It was a lead the Matadors would not relinquish as CSUN defeated  UH in Honolulu for the first time since 2019. 
     
    Scotty Washington led four CSUN players in double-figures with 24 points as the Matadors finished the game shooting 53 percent from the field and an efficient 8-of-14 from three-point land.  
     
    The ‘Bows, conversely, struggled from beyond the arc, going just 3-20. That included just 1-of-9 shooting the second half to stymie any comeback hopes. 
     
    Aaron Hunkin-Claytor tallied a season-high 10 points off the bench, while Tom Beattie added nine for the Rainbow Warriors. Leading scorer and rebounder Tanner Christensen was limited to just four points and one rebound after being saddled with foul trouble for much of the game. 
     
    In a game that featured the top two rebounding teams in the Big West, CSUN dominated with a 40-25 advantage on the glass. It marked just the third time in 17 games this season that the ‘Bows were out-rebounded. 
     
    UH scored eight of the first 10 points of the game for a strong start. But after UH held a 12-6 lead five minutes into the game, the Matadors made their move. CSUN went on a 19-4 run to take the lead. The Matadors shot 52 percent in the first half to take a 38-29 lead into the locker room.
     
    Things didn’t get better for UH in the second half as the Matadors continued their torrid play. After falling behind by as many as 22 points, UH cut the deficit to 12 on a Gytis Nemiksa dunk with 6:25 minutes left that energized the home crowd. But Washington scored CSUN’s next 13 points and the Matadors closed the door with a 16-2 run to put the game out of reach.  
     
    The Rainbow Warriors will continue its homestand on Saturday, Jan. 18 when it hosts CSU Bakersfield. Tipoff is 7:00 p.m. at SimpliFi Arena at Stan Sheriff Center.

    The UC Davis men’s basketball team’s winning streak came to an end on Saturday night as they fell to CSUN in a hard-fought game. Despite a strong effort from the Aggies, they were unable to overcome a determined CSUN squad.

    The game started off close, with both teams trading baskets and playing tough defense. However, CSUN was able to pull ahead in the second half, capitalizing on turnovers and missed shots by UC Davis. The Aggies fought back, but ultimately fell short as CSUN secured the victory.

    Despite the loss, there were some standout performances from UC Davis players, including standout performances from leading scorers and strong defensive efforts. The team will look to bounce back from this defeat and continue their strong play in the remainder of the season.

    The loss to CSUN serves as a reminder that every game in college basketball is a battle, and the Aggies will need to bring their A-game in order to continue their success. With their winning streak now halted, the team will need to regroup and refocus as they look ahead to their next matchup.
