Gabe Levin scores 29 points, lifts Long Beach State past CSUN

LONG BEACH — CSUN on Wednesday night entered its Big West Conference men’s basketball game at Long Beach State having lost its conference opener by 19 points to Hawaii. Considering the Matadors also lost 11 consecutive nonconference games between Nov. 13 and Dec. 23, it figured they could have a difficult time with the 49ers.
The Matadors gave the 49ers all they could handle, but after a slow start, Long Beach State emerged with an 80-70 victory before 2,315 at Walter Pyramid.
