Cal-State Bakersfield - Tuesday

California State Bakersfield (CSUB) expects to build off its successful 2016 campaign after winning the WAC Tournament Championship in dramatic fashion. The Roadrunners (1-0) clubbed San Diego Christian 96-54 in Saturday’s season opener behind Shon Briggs’ 21 points.

CSUB returns three of its starting five, that include last year’s hero, senior Dedrick Basile.
