Here's a walk down memory lane, back to the days of the old PCAA, when this used to be a heated rivalry, and twice featured as title games in the early days of the PCAA Tourney at the Anaheim Convention Center (The beach won in 1977; San Jose got its revenge in 1980). Now, it's been almost 30 years since thee sides met annually. But tonight...oh goodness, this number isn't going to stay at 3.5 for long. But even with expected price inflation, we'd stick with San Jose, which has been practically bossing this event in Henderson, beating UTEP and UNCG the last two night. Perimeter defense has been tough, holding the Miners and Greensboro to a combined 9-37 beyond the arc. Meanwhile, UCLA transfer G Will McClendon has now scored double digits in four straight games. Mind, this is as much a selection against the woeful Beach, non-competitive the past two nights at Lee's Family Forum against the sides the Spartans beat, and failing to score more than 48 points in the process.
