- Share via
The best and worst of Cal State Northridge was on display Wednesday night.
But because the worst always happens to Sacramento State, the Matadors won their second Big Sky Conference game in a row, 84-68, before 587 at Northridge.
The Hornets are nearing the NCAA record of 38 losses in a row, having dropped 32 games in a row, including all 15 this season.
Against Northridge, Sacramento had 28 turnovers, including one errant pass that spilled a can of soda over the scorer’s table.
Northridge, 11-8 overall, 3-4 in the Big Sky, took a 9-0 lead, turned it into 23-6, then 41-21. Sacramento battled back to within 61-60 with 10:26 to play.
But Sacramento scored on only one of 10 possessions and Northridge built its advantage to 80-62.
