While covering the Big West Tournament, it was quite evident that we were going to see a rematch between Long Beach State and UC Santa Barbara. These two teams looked like they were dominating their oppositions, but UC Santa Barbara was looking to flip the role from earlier this season, losing to Long Beach State. Although the game came down to the very end, it was unfortunate to see one team lose, with Long Beach State defeating UCSB 77-64. The game was mostly dominated by Long Beach State guard Casper Ware, which is seen throughout this post, as well as an attempt by UCSB guard Orlando Johnson. These two players are going to make it to the NBA, we will just see how far they can take it. Here are a few photos of the game I enjoyed.
