Another Memorial Day has gone and passed, and now it's back to our regular routine of work or school or sitting on the couch and watching college sports... Here are some link:
NCAA Tourney seeding recap
Anyone curious to know how close LBSU was to making the field of 64? They were ranked 68 in RPI. That would have essentially equated to one more win against either a strong non-conference opponent, or winning the series against Fullerton (which would have given them the auto-bid anyway, so that doesn't really count).
Dome/Fawcett lose to Jha/Quigley in two sets
The No. 68 ranked upset-minded duo couldn't come back after the first set, and fell to the Kentucky pair 7-6, 6-3. Fawcett will leave Cal Poly with a successful showing at the NCAA tournament while Dome will have one more year of eligibility left.
13 Big West Athletes make it to the NCAA Championships
UCR and UCSB led the way with 3 athletes: Travis Smith, Caleb Stuart and Ryan Swafford for UCR and Ryan Martin, Barbara Nwaba and Derek Masterson for UCSB; Cal Poly, LBSU and UCD are all sending 2 athletes: John Prader and Whitney Sister from Cal Poly, Ben Woodruff and Katrina Graves-Johnson from LBSU, Ashley Hearn and Sarah Sumpter represent UCD. The final athlete to represent the Big West are UCI's Charles Jock.
Philip Chian to represent LBSU and the Big West at the NCAA Golf Championships
He tees off here in a few minutes but Chian made his way to the Nationals by finishing in a tie 4th overall at the Athens Regional. Best of luck to him.

Baseball recaps
On one of the last non-conference days of the season, UCSB defeated USC 6-3, sending the seniors out of Santa Barbara on a high note, UCD beat Saint Mary's 7-2, UCI fell to UCLA 6-2, Northridge lost to Bakersfield 10-1 and following a great series win against Fullerton, UCR got shut out by LMU 3-0.
All 8 Big West teams represented at NCAA West Regionals
I should mention now, while there are currently 9 teams in the Big West, Pacific does not have a track and field team, therefore there are only 8 teams who compete in the sport. 81 athletes total from all 8 schools will represent their school and the Big West Conference May 24-26 in Austin, Texas. Those that finish high enough will qualify for the Outdoor Track and Field Championships in Des Moines, Iowa.
Three Big West players set to compete in the Tennis Championships
LBSU's Anais Dallara and Cal Poly's Andre Dome and Matt Fawcett will compete in Athens, Georgia in hopes of bringing home a National Title. Dallara's match starts at 10 AM PST today, while Dome's singles match is already underway. Dome and Fawcett will compete in their doubles match tomorrow. Good luck to all three!

It's Friday and it's also championship weekend for many sports. That means you'll get an open thread to play around with this weekend: and I expect participation! Here are your links:
Old article: still relevant

Big West coaches meeting results in 16-game conference schedule for 2013
SDSU coach Steve Fischer was pushing for 14, but he's not going to make an issue of it, from what we can tell.
After one round, UC Davis Women are tied for 18th in the NCAA regional
Slow start, but they can come back from this. Remember: the top 8 teams advance, so the Aggies will have to shoot well these next couple of days.
Remember: Pacific vs. LBSU is on ESPN3 today for both their games in the doubleheader, Women's Tennis begins with Arkansas vs LBSU at 10 am today and UCI's water polo team takes on LMU at 5:15 pm in San Diego. The Tennis tourney is in LA, and the Water Polo tourney is in San Diego: if you have the opportunity, go watch these teams! Open thread should be up here by 10.

Lots of memories go around in this article.

Morning Links 3/27/12
Good morning everyone: here are links to complete your morning.
Anteaters need to find an ace pitcher, fast.
Some of you are wondering, "isn't Kyle Hooper dominating?" Hooper was dominating, but a nagging elbow injury suffered against Nevada has kept him out, and unfortunately, UCI doesn't have a second dominating pitcher to fill in the slot.
Mustangs' shortstop Miller named Conference POW
He did that by going 11-23 with 7 RBIs last week. Miller is now batting .379 on the season.
Kristina Santiago invited to a pro-workout during the Final Four
This workout is one that invites all the top seniors around the nation, so this is quite an honor.
LBSU's Casper Ware receives an honorable mention for the AP NCAA All-America list
At first, I thought "big whoop" but then I realized that well, there's only 5 people on a "1st team" etc... this list honors the top 50 players in the nation. If you realize there are 300+ teams in Division I basketball, 11-15 players/team, that is quite a high honor. Arguments can be made by saying that they took one player from each conference, which is true. However, Ware's presence to the team is definitely more than that of a top conference player. Put him in any uniform in the Big East, and he would be a first or second team consideration.
Softball recap: UCSB splits doubleheader with Sac State
They won the first game 4-0, snapping the Hornets 9-game win streak, only to narrowly lose the second game 2-1.
Baseball recaps from Monday
Tigers swept Brown, UCD lost to Nevada and LBSU got dominated by Washington State. Only two more days of non-conference play before the push for the Big West crown begins.
UCR men's tennis puts their win streak to 3, beats Idaho State 4-3 in Las Vegas
While the doubles teams lost 2-1 to give the doubles points to ISU, the singles took 4 of 6 to win the competition.
That's it for today. See anything I missed, comment below.

Morning Links 3/21/12
Happy Wednesday: here's the links of the day
LBSU Women's basketball team can look at their season with pride
The Long Beach Press Telegram writes a good story on how these underdog 49ers came within a victory of making the NCAA tournament (remember that they entered the BW Tourney as a 7 seed).
The Daily Titan reviews the season, speculates for next season
Reading this, I didn't realize that Fullerton had such bad chemistry throughout the year. That being said, they created a great season out of it.
Mustangs Men's Tennis stays hot
Andre Dome is giving them hell out there. The No. 25 player in the country defeated his singles rival and also upset the No. 35 doubles team of Matt Spindler and Matt Siow, with his partner Matt Fawcett.
LBSU Women's tennis nearly pulls off upset against No. 25 Nebraska
They won in doubles results, but couldn't finish off in the singles. Final scores: Doubles, LBSU 2-1 Singles, Neb 4-2
Tuesday's baseball scores (no recaps yet):

Big West Tennis Update 3/1/12
Tennis is an interesting sport in how it's ranked. The main governing body of college tennis is the Intercollegiate Tennis Association (or ITA). They do a top 75 ranking for Division I schools and individual rankings, which is different from RPI or Coaches' Poll. That being said, lets give our BWC tennis teams some love:
