It's a logjam in the Big West, with tight margins up and down the table. In this context, CS Northridge must be viewed warily, as the Matadors have some bite featuring four double-digit scorers led by Saint Louis transfer Larry Hughes II, who gave it a go at Pop's alma mater but needed to find a new home to increase his minutes, and is showing what he can do for CSUN by dealing at a team-best 18.7 ppg clip. He's one of four Matadors scoring double digits. Meanwhile UCSD still rates as one of the Big West favorites but not as pronounced as last season for new HC Clint Allard, already upset in league play by Cal Poly and CS Fullerton. Play CS Northridge.
