CBU And UCR Men’s Basketball Both Look to End Season with Statement Wins Entering March Madness

Men’s Basketball

• UCR beat conference leader UCI for their third straight victory to secure a share of third place in the Big West
• CBU Men also share third place with a 3-3 record but need to improve their consistency if they expect to compete with Utah Valley and Grand Canyon in the WAC Tournament

Women’s Basketball

• CBU Women are 3-3 in conference play Grand Canyon leads the conference at 6-0
• UC Riverside Women are 5-4 in the conference, but that only puts them two games behind the UCI anteaters at 7-2

CBU Stunt

Lancers Stunt is the undisputed best program in the sport’s short history. The emergent sport’s season starts this Saturday and the CBU program has never lost in the four years of the program’s existence. Check back here and on the Lancer’s Website as the young women look to extend their impossible 80-0 streak and win a fifth straight national title.

Matches of the week

CIF Men’s Soccer, Arlington vs Poly
Friday, January 31, 7 p.m.
Arlington High School

The Lions re-enter the State Top 25 Rankings on MaxPreps just in time for a decisive game against crosstown rival Poly. In the first match Arlington came from behind to beat Poly 2-1 on the Bears turf. This game has post season and rivalry implications as both teams look to play deep into February. Expect to see a hard fought match by both sides.

NCAA Men’s Basketball, Southern Utah @ CBU
Thursday, February 6, 2/6
Fowler Center

Lancers look to finish their regular season with games against the top two in conference rivals, Southern Utah and Grand Canyon. Lancers have shown moments of exceptional basketball but have, thus far,  lacked the consistency needed to make a run at the Western Athletic Conference’s automatic bid for the NCAA Tournament. Conference tournaments are a strange being, and CBU has the talent if they can string together a few excellent games.
