Circling the drain After drinking fountains test positive for lead, the university plans to answer questions in a public forum. By Kat Schuster News Editor

RED IN THE WATER After a disapointing loss against Fresno State, the Long Beach State men’s basketball team bounced back on Sunday after defeating Stanford 76-68 at the Walter Pyramid. The 49ers were led by sophomore Jordan Griffin, who had his first start of the season and dropped a career-high 21 points in the win. This is the first time in program history that Long Beach has beaten two Pac-12 teams in the same season. Read the full story on page 12.
As members of Cal State Long Beach continue to quench their thirst with store-bought water bottles, officials finally revealed a solution for the bagged drinking fountains. According to Mary Stephens, vice president of administration and finance, the majority of water testing results conducted by Titan Environmental were completed Dec. 1. The campus will receive an email sometime during the week that will contain test results and any additional information about the process. In late October, a CHEM 100 class taught by Elaine Bernal tested drinking fountains in the McIntosh building and found that some of the drinking fountains had tested positive for lead. On Nov. 8, campus officials confirmed the results in preliminary testing stages. All fountains on campus have since been declared out of order and covered with blue tape and black bags. A public forum will be held Dec. 8 in Hall of Science 105 to address the issue and to quell any concerns that campus members may have. The forum will be led see LEAD, page 3

whites. The street, emptied of its usual traffic by 5 p.m., was filled instead with thousands who flocked from their homes carrying folded chairs and blankets with their friends, families and beloved pets in tow. As darkness descended so did the floats, marching bands and paraders for the 35th Annual Belmont Shore Christmas Parade, aptly themed for yet another quintessentially Californian winter “Christmas in Paradise.” For many, this gathering of Long Beach natives and visitors is just another installment of a longstanding tradition.

It was beginning to look a lot like Christmas in Belmont Shore Saturday night during the shore’s 35th annual Christmas parade. With neighboring streets lined by cars, residents left their doors open and some were content to sit outside and dine in the chilly air. Lights strewn along Second Street lit the cordoned-off path in all shades of reds, greens and

Christmas comes early for Gavin Long Beach Mayor Robert Garcia endorsed Democratic candidate Gavin Newsom for governor of California. By Hunter Lee
Assistant Photo Editor
In back of a small record store in Long Beach called Fingerprints Music , Mayor Robert Garcia met with colleague and Democratic counterpart Lieutenant Governor Gavin Newsom, in front of members of the Long Beach community to announce his support for the former San Francisco mayor’s upcoming campaign for California Governor. During the endorsement, Garcia shared two moments in his career that led to his support of Newsom to the audience consisting of Long Beach community members. Serving as Long Beach’s first Latino and LGBT mayor, Garcia retold the significant impact Newsom’s support of same sex marriage has had on his life. Garcia recalled his time in college during 2014, when he was struggling with coming out to his parents. “I remember clearly watching the TV and seeing Gavin Newsom as the mayor of San Francisco telling the country and the world that gay people, that the LGBTQ community were equal and

should be allowed the right to marry,” Garcia said. “It impacted me. A piece of my heart was really really touched by that moment.” Mark Stovall, a resident of Long Beach, was one of many locals to who came out to see Newsom firsthand. “I have a couple friends voting for [Newsom] but they’re not impartial,” Stovall said. “I need to come here and do my own research.” Garcia also recalled his time campaigning for mayor of Long Beach when Newsom
endorsed him. When Garcia’s political opponent, Bonnie Lowenthal, won endorsements from numerous powerful Democrats including Governor Jerry Brown, Newsom took a risk with his support of Garcia’s mayoral campaign. “Gavin said, ‘I’m going to endorse you for mayor against the party, against every elected state official,’ probably against his best interest at the time,” Garcia said. Following his recent endorsement by Sac-

ramento Mayor Darrell Steinberg last Monday, Newsom has been considered a frontrunner in his campaign, according to a USC Dornsife/Los Angeles Times poll. During his first run for governor in 2010, Newsom received an endorsement from Bill Clinton but after trailing Jerry Brown in the polls, he dropped out of the race. This will be the politician’s second run for governor. Along with the support of same sex marriage, Newsom plans to take a progressive stance on issues including immigration, single-payer healthcare, the legalization of marijuana and stricter gun controls laws. At the event, he also touched on some of his major platform issues including housing taxes and the growing marijuana industry following its legalization in California. “It’s a social justice issue, it’s a racial justice issue, it’s an economic justice issue,” said Newsom, regarding the benefits of legalizing marijuana. “The whole point of legalization was to bring this industry to the light of day.” As a huge opponent of the G.O.P. Tax Bill that recently passed, Gavin stated that the bill could hinder his plans for office. With his proposal to increase the affordable housing tax credit, California could see $2.5 billion in tax credit. However, under the new tax plan, the state could lose as much as $2 billion in federal tax credit. “You have to be flexible,” Newsom said. “There’s nothing that’s etched in stone here. What works literally in the moment, in 48 hours may no longer work.”

We’ve contemplated not coming here a couple times, and they made us come anyway!” She added that the feeling of coming home is what makes the parade so special to her and her family.

by Stephens and Tony Malagrino, director of facilities management, and will include a doctor from the Long Beach health department, a woman who heads water testing from the Long Beach Water Department and a toxicologist. The event will be held from 11 a.m. to 12 p.m. “We will be bringing an array of folks together,” Stephens said. “Besides reporters, people will have questions.” Stephens believes the toxicologist will be a good resource for campus members who have questions about what’s healthy and what’s not. She also said the university is working diligently to bring these results to the campus before the end of the semester. “We didn’t want to let this hang into the spring,” Stephens said. “We’re trying to be very transparent about what we’re doing.” Malagrino confirmed Thursday that recent findings by the university revealed that six fountains in the McIntosh Humanities Building and one outdoor fountain in a softball dugout tested positive for lead. “The test that Elaine [Bernal] used isn’t a quantifiable test,” Malagrino said. “It’s a strip that changes color just like one you would use to test your pool.” Regardless of test results, all drinking fountains installed before 1990 will be updated, according to Malagrino. Facilities will be working to replace 55 of the 309 drinking locations on campus by the spring term. According to Terri Carbaugh, associate vice president of public affairs, the university was already working to implement more hydration stations on campus and these findings have prompted the campus to expedite the process. Stephens said the university has access to a risk management fund which allocates money for unplanned expenses such as these. “We were converting [hydration stations] overtime and clearly not fast enough,” Stephens said. “Because we need to do this quickly, we are actually going to have outside help.”
Roberts, 45, attending the parade was an act of support for their friends and family who participated. Hernandez’s daughter, Erendida, came through the year prior with Long Beach City College. Roberts’ son, on the other hand, rode along with Cub Scouts this year. “It’s a pretty big parade, I’m having a lot of fun,” Roberts said, who quickly added that seeing his son in the festivities was his favorite part of the parade thus far. This year’s parade, organized and sponsored by the Belmont Shore Business Association but presented by the Port of Long Beach, boasted over 100 parade participants.
While some were happy to stick to classic decor, others like Salud Juice readily embraced the parade theme with ocean waves, pink flamingos, palm tree fringe and glittery, yellow pineapples.”
“
Local businesses, schools, organizations and personalities all participated in the festivities by walking the parade or making a float. Parade floats were judged on the basis of execution of theme, originality in design and overall spectator appeal. While some were happy to
stick to classic decor, others like Salud Juice readily embraced the parade theme with ocean waves, pink flamingos, palm tree fringe and glittery, yellow pineapples. Tony Azevedo, five-time U.S. Olympic water polo player and Long Beach legend for his time at Woodrow Wilson Classical High School, was dubbed this year’s acting grand marshal. Azevedo rode down Second Street early on in the parade, seated in a Long Beach lifeguard boat. As the night continued, high school marching bands and color guard teams captivated audiences. Some floats, such as the Rotary Club of Long Beach, even carried live performers.
Aquarium of the Pacific had puppeteers walk the streets, cheerfully wishing families a good Christmas with hammerhead sharks and seahorses. Paraders cheerfully handed out candy to children. The Red Eye Media float, which notably had a giant Lego Star Wars Stormtrooper, also gave away free totes to excited attendees. The Belmont Shore Christmas Parade marks the beginning of many other holiday-related festivities throughout Long Beach, such as the Naples Holiday Boat Parade on Dec. 9, the Old Time Christmas Festival on Dec. 10 and the CHILL Ice Adventure Park aboard the Queen Mary beginning Dec. 13.

MEMORIAM
A call to commemorate the ‘father of black psychology’ As the creator of the Educational Opportunity Program, Dr. Joseph L. White deserves campus recognition. By Professor Armando Vazquez-Ramos Contributing Writer
W
ith the passing of Dr. Joseph L. White on Nov. 22, 2017, Cal State Long Beach should establish a landmark to memorialize his legacy on campus. As the founder of the Educational Opportunity Program on campus in 1967, he created a model replicated throughout California and the United States that has allowed several generations of low-income minority students to enter and graduate from public and private colleges and universities. He changed my life after he personally recruited me to enter the university in Jan. 1968 through the EOP program. Prior to 1967, the university was a growing campus with an almost all-white enrollment of about 10,000 students and a minority population of less than 100 Black and Mexican American students. Along with former Dean of Students George Demos, Dr. White secured the institutional approval to create the program, and he was given the authority to grant special admission and financial aid to promising Black and Chicano students as a pilot program. With the success of EOP, in 1969, Cal State University Chancellor Glenn Dumke charged Dr. White with the task to develop similar programs at various CSU campuses. In the aftermath of

the 1968 student strikes known as the East Los Angeles Walkouts, these programs, facilitated by Dr. White throughout the university system, opened the doors of opportunity for hundreds of Black, Chicano, Asian American and American Indian students. Without this educational assistance program and the subsequent boom of minority students, the university would not have established our ethnic studies departments in the fall of 1969, following the national movement to establish fields of study that would teach about the history, culture and contributions of major ethnic groups in the U.S. Today, our university is a majority-minority institution, with a national reputation for its diversity and academic accomplishments as one of the top minority-graduating universities in the U.S. Consequently, I propose that our university name a building in loving memory of Dr. White

to recognize his impact on campus and his 55-year academic career of national and international prominence. As in the case of several campus facilities named in recognition of former university presidents — Peterson, McIntosh, Horn and Maxon — I respectfully propose that the university commemorate Dr. White’s legacy by naming the University Library, the Psychology building or one of the Liberal Arts buildings in his memory. This is possible under Cal State’s Naming of Facilities and Properties policy (Policy No. 15501.00) under Section 403, which states that when naming honors one’s service, “It should honor a person who has achieved unique distinction in higher education and other significant areas of public service; or who has served the CSU in an academic capacity and has earned a national or international reputation as a scholar, or has made extraordinary contributions to a CSU campus or the

system which warrant special recognition….” While the Board of Trustees delegates to the Chancellor the authority to name all Cal State facilities, the Chancellor has “sub-delegated this authority to the (CSU) presidents via Executive Order 713.” I trust that President Jane Close Conoley will seize this opportunity to mark her own legacy at the Beach by exercising her authority to name a building in recognition of Dr. White’s memory. Since 1970, Dr. White has been known as the “father of black psychology.” He pioneered and professed the idea of a psychological field now widely accepted through his research: the unique treatment and understanding of ethnic minorities in psychology, which he popularized through his research, publications and lectures until his demise. Former U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, a longtime family friend and colleague, expressed that “Dr. White was a renowned scholar and will be

LONG BEACH
10 reasons to be jolly University store Beach On 2nd Street celebrates 10year anniversary. By Haley Martinez Staff Writer
Beach On 2nd Street had a lot to celebrate this year during its 10-year anniversary event that kicked off the holiday season. Customers enjoyed refreshments, balloon animals, store discounts and a Christmas parade to wrap up the night. Cal State Long Beach President Jane Close Conoley said former president F. King Alexander originally had the idea of establishing an offsite store for Long Beach State in order to bring the university’s brand to the community in 2007. “At this location it’s been wonderful, we’ve met so many people,” said Lily Lopez, assistant manager for clothing and gifts at Beach On 2nd Street. ”We see a lot of alumni, a good chunk of students and we also get a lot of tourists.”
Spectators cheered and took photos as Santa and his reindeer traveled down 2nd St. to greet the crowd.
The store event began with a book signing by author and Long Beach journalism professor, Barbara Kingsley-Wilson, who wrote “Long Beach State: A Brief History.” The book was released in 2015 and details the history of athletics at the university. Honored speakers at the event included President Conoley, 49ers shops general manager Don Penrod and Alumni Association Board Member Kim Armstrong. “There’s a lot of students that don’t know about this store location, so getting the word out to them is important,” Conoley said. “I see a lot of students wearing CSULB apparel. I get a big kick
out of it, it’s good for our brand.” Beach On 2nd Street doesn’t only house Long Beach State merchandise, but student employees. “I’ve had a good experience working here,” Jennifer Palacios, fourth year criminal justice major said. “I’m a very shy person, but it’s helped me get out of my comfort zone. I’ve made a lot of great friends and I like working here because they are very flexible with your schedule.” Palacios explained that Beach On 2nd Street acts as a nonprofit organization, meaning all the proceeds go back to the school.

“We also want to show appreciation to our customers who have been coming here for so long as well as showing students that we are all part of the community,” Palacios said. Candice Merrill, a resident of Long Beach who frequents the store, was excited about the discounts and purchased some sweatpants for her daughter. “I certainly hope the store continues to grow, there’s no plan not to have it around,” Conoley said. The event was followed by the Christmas in Paradise Parade which took place outside of the shop on 2nd Street.

REVIEW
The play that blew us all away “Hamilton: An American Musical” unsurprisingly lives up to its hype. By Samantha Diaz Arts & Life Editor
At this point you’ve probably heard enough about the hit Broadway play “Hamilton” to last you a lifetime. Lin-Manuel Miranda’s hip-hop story about the nation’s first secretary of treasury, Alexander Hamilton, has been in the spotlight since it came out in 2015, and for good reason. Los Angeles finally got the chance to see the play when it opened at the Pantages theater August 11 and have been paying an arm and a leg to be in the room where it happens. Tickets are ranging from $200 to $1,500 for a single seat. If you’ve been living under a rock for the past two years, or have miraculously avoided hearing anything about the show, here is some quick background. About six years ago, playwright Lin-Manuel Miranda read a book about Alexander Hamilton and decided he needed to write a play about the ten dollar founding father. Not only did Miranda decide that the history of America should be made into a Broadway play, but that Washington, Jefferson, Hamilton and friends should be played by Latinos and African Americans. Furthermore, the language of the history of America should be exclusively rap and hip-hop. It sounds weird until you try it for yourself and realize that it’s exactly what you’ve been missing your whole life. Kind of like the first time you try oreos with pea-

nut butter. As a long time Hamil-fan, I was excited but skeptical to finally see the play in person. I’d been listening to the soundtrack constantly for the past year and came to know Miranda as the voice of Hamilton, Leslie Odom Jr. as Aaron Burr and Daveed Diggs as Thomas Jefferson. Much like reading a book then going to see the movie adaptation, I was nervous that I had built the play up too high in my head while listening to the soundtrack. Would this cast be able to live up to the incredible expectations I had set? The short answer: yes. Admittedly, I caught myself comparing Ryan Alvarado to Miranda’s version of Hamilton and getting sad any time his voice did not match up to the soundtrack exactly. I had even memorized some of the motions Miranda did in the short videos released
in Youtube clips, and felt cheated any time Alvarado did not mimic them exactly. It wasn’t until intermission, when I overheard an older couple standing in line behind me talking about how Alvarado had a much stronger voice than Mi-

“
randa, that I began to change my mind. While my initial reaction was to defend the original, I had to admit to myself that some of the songs did sound better with this cast. Going back into the second act, I had a new view of the Los
Angeles actors. Once I got past the fantasy of seeing the original cast on Broadway, I was able to enjoy the musical much more. Each actor brought changes to their character that added to the humor and tension of the show. Joshua Henry, who played Aaron Burr, Hamilton’s long time friend and rival, had a number of stellar performances throughout the night from his opening lines introducing Hamilton, to his big song “The Room Where it Happens.” Emmy Raver-Lampman played Angelica Schuyler with much more sass than conveyed in the soundtrack, which made for more humorous moments. Of course, King George (Rory O’Malley) stole the show and gained the most applause throughout the night. His British-pop sound stood out from the hip-hop the rest of the musical was presented in. He came out unapologetic, threatening
America while encouraging the audience to cheer for him — and cheer we did. Seeing the songs that I have been listening to come to life the way Miranda had envisioned them was better than anything I had imagined. The carefully planned choreography in each scene kept me scanning the stage, trying to capture every little detail while taking in the sounds of the orchestra and the singing. The show was just as funny, sad and dramatic as you would expect it to be. Each war scene had people standing and cheering, seeing their country come out victorious. In a time where people are rarely feeling proud of their country, it was nice to be reminded of our “young, scrappy and hungry” roots. All of the political numbers in the second act had the audience laughing and cheering as we watched our founding fathers rap-battle their issues and deal with each other’s petty drama. Throughout 44 songs and two and a half hours, the show-stopper came when Alvarado and Henry performed “The World Was Wide Enough,” the song where Hamilton and Burr have their infamous duel. The iconic image of Hamilton and Burr dressed in black coats, standing across a rotating stage from one another with their guns drawn and the lights dimmed is something that will forever be ingrained in my mind. The room was silent other than the sniffles from people crying as Hamilton delivered his last monologue. Whether you’re a die hard Hamil-fan or this is your first time hearing about the play, if you get your hands on some tickets, do not throw away your shot to see this Broadway sensation. Shows take place Tuesday to Sunday through Dec. 30.

LBSU Athletics introduces new clubhouse The women’s soccer and softball team will be getting a new locker room at the end of the summer. By Kevin Colindres Staff Writer
Long Beach State called a press conference Thursday to announce the construction of a new clubhouse for the women’s soccer and softball teams. The $3.5 mil-
lion project will begin in January and should be finished in late summer. Workers will break ground at the corner of the softball complex nearest to the entrance of George Allen Field, allowing for easy access for both teams and will include individual lockers, sports medicine space and team rooms for both programs. Both the soccer and softball programs move on from the days of using public locker rooms in the Kinesiology building and the Walter Pyramid for team meetings or sports medicine treat-
ment. “Even though we are financially constrained, the athletics department has always done so much with so little,” said university President Jane Close Conoley. “We want to thank everyone who’s supported us in this project.” Doug and Sandra Leafstedt contributed $200,000 to get the ball rolling, which the university would match. At the unveiling it was announced that Deputy Athletics Director Cindy Masner would also contribute $50,000 to the project.
“This is going to flip the vision of what recruits and communities see when they come to soccer and softball games,” athletic director Andy Fee said. Coaches of both programs expressed their gratitude and explained what it meant for the athletes to have a new facility. “This is going to impact our student athletes by giving them a classroom to learn, but also be a place to unwind,” softball head coach Kim Sowder said. Softball in particular had to keep all of its equipment in the dugout during the game, which
led to less space and distracted players. For women’s soccer head coach Mauricio Ingrassia, it was all about respect. The team spent its halftime under a pop-up canopy and sat on folding chairs. “Getting this facility gives us a sign of respect for the players, coaches and all the alumni that built this program we have today,” Ingrassia said. The goal of the athletics department is to continue to grow and build new facilities to accommodate student athletes.
MEN’S BASKETBALL
Takeaways from the 49ers’ win over Stanford By Christian Gonzales and Alex Manfredi Staff Writer
After Long Beach State (4-6) defeated Stanford (4-6) Sunday, the Daily 49er sports editor and men’s basketball beat writer compiled a breakdown of the team’s performance.
1. The Long Beach State men’s basketball team came into Sunday’s game with a fast start. The 49ers got over Saturday’s blowout loss to Fresno State and kept up with Stanford from the jump. Head coach Dan Monson praised his team for keeping its focus and responding well in less than 24 hours after Saturday’s
loss.
2. The 49ers have had foul trouble early on in games. Senior forward Gabe Levin, who is a major key to the team’s success, is having a problem with contesting shots. Although Levin played 27 minutes, he only managed to stay on the floor for seven minutes in the first half. Stanford took advantage of that as it led 29-27 at the halftime. 3. The lack of rebounding kept the team’s opponents in games. The 49ers were outrebounded 37 to 24 on Sunday, giving up 13 offensive rebounds to the Cardinal. Second chance opportunities kept Stanford in the game,
scoring 14 points with the extra opportunities. The 49ers post players need to make box outs a priority instead of trying to outjump opponents.
4. Long Beach was not afraid to keep shooting 3-pointers even if they are not falling, shooting 3-of-11 in the first half. However, the 49ers finished the game shooting 10-of-22 beyond the arc. Sophomore guard Jordan Griffin earned his first start of the season and scored a career-high 21 points. 5. It seemed that Monson was satisfied with today’s starting lineup of Deishuan Booker, Griffin, Bryan Alberts, Levin and Mason Riggins.
However, the team’s bench had a problem as they only contributed six points in the contest. It remains to be seen what the issue is with senior guard Barry Ogalue, but the team will need his scoring abilities off the bench in order to win the Big West.
Conclusion: Long Beach State is in good standing even though its record moved to 4-6 after Sunday’s victory. The team has played many well known programs, which has been a good challenge in the pre-season. If the 49ers can remain confident and together as a team, be prepared for them to do well in conference play and possibly make a run for the Big West Conference tournament title.

Long Beach ends road trip with loss
The 49ers fall short 6760 to Montana. By Kevin Colindres Staff Writer
Long Beach State women’s basketball guards Shanaijah Davison and Cecily Wilson combined for 32 points and 15 rebounds, but it was not enough for the 49ers to overcome the Lady Griz. LBSU’s (1-7) poor shooting
and excessive fouling (20 times) resulted in a 67-60 loss to Montana (2-5). The LadyGriz made 17-of-22 of their free throws, which ultimately put them over the top. “The effort was there tonight but we just couldn’t score,” head coach Jeff Cammon said on 22 West Radio. “A lot of the girls got in foul trouble early, which kept them out of the game.” Cammon continued his fourguard experiment, but opted to put freshman center Emma Merriweather at the five position, replacing freshman forward Nao-
mi Hunt. “We wanted to find a way to get Emma more touches so we put her as the starter,” Cammon said. This quickly backfired, as Merriweather would pick up three fouls in the first half and only play 14 minutes in the entire match. While the 49ers did improve their shooting from last game, the team’s sloppy play in the second half gave the LadyGriz all they needed to garner a victory. “We’re a young team and we have a lot to learn on both sides
of the floor,” Cammon said. “We were right there, all we need to do is minimize crucial errors.” The team only had 12 assists the whole night but found success down low. Davison carried Long Beach offensively but her inefficient 6-of-23 shooting cost the team many possessions. She has been given the greenlight to shoot, but has not found a way to balance her play style when the ball is not consistently going in. Wilson had 13 points on 5-of8 shooting, while also adding 10 rebounds and four steals.
“She came out ready to play, all while she’s a little banged up,” Cammon said. “No matter what the situation, she is always up for the challenge.” It was a neck-to-neck game with six minutes left until Montana went on a 17-9 run and never looked back. “Turnovers and fouls cost us the game,” Cammon said. “But every day we see the team improving.” LBSU ends its six-game road trip on Thursday at 6 p.m. in Arizona against Grand Canyon University.

Griffin leads Beach to win over Stanford The team responded with a victory over the Cardinal after Saturday’s disappointing loss. By Alex Manfredi
Assistant Social Media Editor
After Saturday’s double-digit loss to Fresno State, the Long Beach State men’s basketball team responded in a big way on Sunday after beating Stanford 76-68. In front of a rowdy crowd of 2,564 in the Walter Pyramid, the 49ers came out with focus and intensity before taking down the Pac-12 opponent. “I’m just really, really excited for my guys because it was a much-needed reward,” head coach Dan Monson said. “It’s been a long trek and we got shook [Saturday]. It was a real good team win.” Unlike most games this season, LBSU (4-6) came into the game with energy and prevented the slow starts that have haunted the team all year long. The 49ers and Cardinal battled back-and-forth the entire first half, with both teams never holding more than a four-point lead. At halftime Stanford led Long Beach 29-27. Sophomore guard Jordan Griffin and junior forward Mason Riggins led the team in the first half providing scoring, energy and an inside presence. Riggins’ intensity and scoring have started to become more regular in the last few games. “I’ve just tried to play hard-
er, play with more emotion and show that I’m trying hard for my teammates,” Riggins said. In the second half, both teams continued trading buckets in a tight contest. With 9:53 remaining in the game, Stanford went on a 5-0 run and called timeout to set up its defense. Long Beach responded with a 7-0 run of its own, after five straight points from junior guard Bryan Alberts and an explosive dunk from senior forward Gabe Levin. With 2:24 remaining, Griffin and Levin took the game into their hands and led the 49ers on a 8-0 run to seal the win. In his first start of the season, Griffin’s hot shooting turned into a career-high 21 points. The sophomore guard shot 5-for-9 on three-pointers and shot 8-for-15 overall from the field. “I feel confident,” Griffin said. “I just go out there and shoot the ball and don’t think about it. Just shoot it with confidence usually.” Alberts contributed 15 points in the win and junior point guard Deishuan Booker impressed with 13 points, eight assists and five rebounds. Although Booker, Alberts and Griffin combined for 49 points, the teams second unit only managed to score six points. Sunday’s win was the first time in program history that Long Beach has beaten two Pac-12 teams in the same season. Long Beach will head out Wednesday on a short two-game road trip, starting with Southern Utah to take on the Thunderbirds at 5:30 p.m, and Pepperdine on Saturday at 7 p.m.
