Last night’s Big West semis may have just greased the rails for what everyone thought would happen anyway – that the whole Big West season would come down to a single game on March 10th between LBSU and UCSB.\u00a0 Now, we just have to see if it goes according to the script tonight, which it didn’t last night, when UC-Irvine upset the #2-seeded CS-Fullerton Titans.<\/p>\n

\n<\/span><\/em>The UC-Irvine upset yesterday (and the reseeding factor) set up the semifinal round that really ought to be.\u00a0 LBSU has earned an easy road, and these two teams are really the 2nd and 3rd best teams in the conference and, therefore, ought to play for a spot in the finals.\u00a0 Cal Poly beat UC-Riverside handily yesterday afternoon, while the Gouchos hammered Pacific last night.<\/p>\n
