LONG BEACH STATE (10-11, 7-4) at UC SANTA BARBARA (9-11, 7-3), 7--With only five games remaining, the 49ers can tie for the Big West Western Division lead with a victory. A victory would also give them a sweep of the Gauchos after last week’s 63-62 victory on Charles O’Neal’s three-point basket with 2.4 seconds left. While Ramel Lloyd, the Big West’s No. 3 scorer struggled last week against the Gauchos, center Mate Milisa scored 17, then added 19 two nights later against Cal Poly San Luis Obispo.
