Long Beach State started out fast and ran the ball to take an early 8 point lead in the first half. However, San Diego State was ready and able to run with the 49ers. The refs got whistle happy, and called way to many fouls in the first half, most of them on the 49ers. It did not help that Long Beach was also lost the rebound battle and turned the ball over way too many times. Overall both teams seemed to be tired, but if the 49ers had not turned the ball over they could have easily won by 8-10 points.
Larry Anderson had another outstanding performance putting up 25 points, 8 rebounds, 1 steal, and 0 turnovers. Casper Ware had 26 points, 4 rebounds, 6 assists, and 6 turnovers. As a team the 49ers turned the ball over 23 times and were called for 26 personal fouls. The formula here is simple, the 49ers played well, just cut the fouls and turnovers by 50% as a team and there easily could have been a 49er victory yesterday.
During the second half the 49er's offense was not as potent as it needed to be and there were no calls and missed calls courtesy of the referees! With 3.3 seconds to play Casper Ware was fouled and made the 1 + 1 taking the 49ers into overtime. T.J. Robinson and Edis Dervisevic fouled out at the beginning of overtime making it a challenge for the 49ers to hang in OT. Maybe if the refs had not made so many bad calls these two may not have fouled out.
The 49er's next game is at home this Tuesday at the Pyramid vs. Boise State who just lit up Cal State Northridge by dropping 103 points and beating them by 42, will be considerable challenge for the 49ers. If the 49ers want the win they will need to control the game tempo and lose the sloppy play. The 49ers have the pieces to win, they just need to execute and make opponents play their game. Show the 49ers some love and come out to the game this Tuesday, Clipper Darrell will be there!
