Long Beach State finished first in the Big West in the regular season and lost by one point in the Big West Tournament Final, while BYU finished fifth in the WCC and lost in the Quarterfinals of the WCC Tournament. I like the way Long Beach State played this season and I think they will be motivated to have a strong showing here. I like the Beach to keep it close.
