BIG WEST CONFERENCE

Cal Poly San Luis Obispo (15-10, 6-5) at Cal State Fullerton (19-7, 9-4), 1 -- It’s the last conference game of the regular season for the Titans, who can clinch second place and the No. 2 seeding in the conference tournament with a victory. They are coming off a victory over UC Santa Barbara in which Bobby Brown became the school’s all-time leading scorer. Cal Poly has won four consecutive games and is the only other conference team with a shot at second place.

Pacific (11-14, 5-5) at Cal State Northridge (13-14, 4-7), 2 -- The Matadors have lost five of their last six conference games but just went 2-1 in three consecutive nonconference games. Matadors center Thomas Shewmake has averaged 19.5 points and 12 rebounds over the last four games, up from his season averages of eight points and 7.1 rebounds. Pacific has won three consecutive games.

UC Santa Barbara (15-10, 6-5) at UC Riverside (6-21, 1-11), 5 -- The Gauchos are on a four-game losing streak and have shot only 37.7% over their last two games, though guard Alex Harris, the conference’s leading scorer, had a career-high 35 points Thursday against Fullerton. Riverside has lost four of its last five and cannot finish higher than last in the regular-season standings.

St. Mary’s (14-14, 6-6) at Pepperdine (7-21, 3-9), 7 -- The Waves ended a five-game losing streak last Saturday with a 95-88 victory over Loyola Marymount and equaled last season’s victory total. St. Mary’s ended a four-game losing streak Monday with a 92-83 victory over San Francisco.

Santa Clara (20-7, 10-2) at Loyola Marymount (12-16, 4-8), 7:30 -- The Lions appeared to have turned around their season by winning four out of five games Jan. 27-Feb. 10, but they’ve dropped consecutive games and fallen into sixth place in the conference. Matthew Knight needs six points to become No. 10 on the school’s all-time list. Conference leader Santa Clara lost to LMU, 74-71, on Jan. 27. The Broncos have won six consecutive games since.

NONCONFERENCE

UC Davis (4-21) at Long Beach State (18-7), 4 -- The 49ers are on the brink of their first Big West title since 2000, but can’t clinch tonight in this nonconference homecoming game unless Cal State Fullerton loses. The 49ers have won five consecutive conference games but are coming off a nonconference loss to Hawaii. The Aggies are on a season-high nine-game losing streak. Long Beach defeated Davis, 89-75, on Dec. 28.
