LOS ANGELES, California — Long Beach State (5-9, 2-1 Big West) ended a three-game losing streak, against UCSB (7-6, 0-1 Big West) at The Walter Pyramid. The Guachos came off a two-week unscheduled break due to the health pandemic. Fatigue related to COVID-19 scheduling irregularities may explain Long Beach State's dominate 39-20 run during the second half.
Defense was the key for Long Beach State in the 65-58 win against UCSB which, was the Guacho's Big West Conference opener. Long Beach State has maintained a robust schedule despite COVID-19 challenges through matches against AP poll rated programs such as UCLA and USC.
Aboubacar Traore led Long Beach State with 17 points and 7 rebounds.
