COLLEGE BASKETBALL

With the Seahawks on Monday Night Football – and Hasslebeck and Alexander playing together for the first time in weeks – do you think the crowd at the Eastern game tonight will be affected?

The Eagles host Cal State Fullerton (4-0) in a non-conference game. Fullerton recently defeated UT San Antonio 67-63, the same team that was blown out in the Kennel recently. In a quirk of scheduling, the Titans next home game is against UTSA. Weird.

The Whitworth Pirates finished a long road trip Sunday, taking on a Cal Tech team that is considered one of the worst college basketball team on the West Coast – though the five starters may all design a way for us to visit Jupiter some day.

The Pirates (6-0) gave their starters a rest, played reserves and still won 83-30. Whitworth will play its first home game Wednesday at 8 p.m. against Walla Walla College.
