College Basketball Preview - Big West Conference

Excerpt:

Philadelphia, PA –  OUTLOOK: To be successful in the Big West Conference, a team usually needs to have an up-tempo style and plenty of scoring threats, and the two teams that figure to be contending for the league championship this year have no problem putting points on the board. Last season, Long Beach State won their second consecutive conference title with a veteran team, but it will need to overcome the loss of a lot of talent from last season if it wants to make it a three-peat in 2012-13. Waiting in the wings is Cal State Fullerton, which returns two of last year's top scorers in D.J. Seeley and Kwame Vaughn. Things get a bit muddled after the top two teams. UC Santa Barbara is typically a contender, but the cupboard looks pretty bare this season.
