All five starters score 9+ points, with the highlights 12/10 from Dominique Judson, 20 points, 5 rebounds from PotG Sid Johnson and 10 boards, 1 block for Heath Wagstaff off the bench in a tight 76-68 road win over Stetson, as the Hatters nearly mounted a comeback.

The road portion of our non-conference play ends with an easy 84-67 win over Wichita State, fueled by Alvaro Houghton's 25 points and 2 steals, Sid Johnson's 12, and a rare bench double-double of 10 points, 12 rebounds and a steal from Heath Wagstaff. We also saw Gary Hine contribute 14 points and a steal to lead the reserves.

Blowout loss to Samford to start at home - one of those games where they hit everything and we hit nothing. We fight Colorado hard, but can't get enough to close the gap for the win.

Finally we get a victory for our home fans, crushing Memphis 72-46. Weird selection of Dominique Judson for PotG with 9 points, 16 rebounds, 5 assists, 2 blocks, and a steal. I really thought it was going to Alvaro Houghton's 26 points, 6 rebounds, and a block.

22 points, 2 steals from Sid Johnson and 15 points, 2 steals from Gary Hine off the bench carry us to a closer than it looks comeback 77-69 win over Cincinnati. In besting the Bearcats, we clinch a winning non-conference record.

The Matadors came ready to play but we ground them out in the second half and won going away, 85-59. Arthur Rodriguez's 16 points, 6 rebounds, and 2 steals earns PotG, though Alvaro Houghton led all scorers with 21 points, 6 rebounds, and a steal. Jeremiah Hardie playing just 6 minutes due to foul trouble sure helped. Lot of guys complaining after the game about how the juco transfers they brought in have taken over the ones who were here as freshmen, and it's a justifiable complaint, given CSU-Northridge is 3-7.

No decisions from any of the recruits we're targeting. Tough, tough season.
