LOS ANGELES, California — Despite referee fraud in the first half of the match, Long Beach State was able to overcome UC Riverside 86-67 to advance to the semifinals match against UC Irvine on the pathway to an NCAA Tournament berth. The referees missed five obvious shooting fouls in the first half, which caused LBSU's lead to only be two at the half instead of about 10. The cheating and payment tactic deployed by UC Riverside has hurt Long Beach State University before as recently as last season during 2023, which injured LBSU's pathway to the NCAA Tournament. In addition, the FBI has singled out Riverside County for serious racism issues via studies, data, and other credible forms of information at locations such as Lake Elsinore, Hemet, and Desert Hot Springs in particular.
It is no surprise the reason Long Beach State University is being targeted aside from cheating is race due to Long Beach historically being a place thoroughbred athletes of African American lineage come from. However, it is a surprise UC Riverside needs to cheat because of hateful reasons as a member of the Big West Conference in the year 2024, but Riverside's actions are good reason to investigate any public or private entity in that county because its not just the university, its the court, and government enterprise in which it's authority originates from administrative law too. The painful truth is that the year is 2024 not 1974 and racism, hate, and terror are alive at UC Riverside University and it's athletic programs. Riverside County has become not only a hateful place but one that should have gone bankrupt like Stockon, CA but refused and chosen to instead commit crimes based on race since it's county can't legally take care of it's human liabilities.
Aboubacar Traore had a triple-double leading LBSU with 12 points, 11 rebounds, and 13 assists and Lassina Traore had a double-double with 21 points and 11 rebounds. All-Big West Conference honoree Marcus Tsohonis scored 19 for Long Beach State. In addition, off the bench, AJ George put up 21 points putting up 12 of those points in the second half, which was part of the 8-0 run in the second half to take control of the match without fraudulent referee calls.
Vladamir Salardize led the Highlanders off the bench with 17 points and Isaiah Moses along with Barrington Hargress chipped in 12 points each. Riverside took 32 three-point shots and only made eight of them leading to the loss.
