Alexander: Long Beach State men’s volleyball off to another rollicking start

Last Friday’s match against Cal State Northridge was the Pyramid debut of a Taraflex floor, volleyball-specific and used extensively in international play. The artificial, mat-like surface, which cost around $100,000 according to 49ers head coach Alan Knipe, is far easier on the joints than hardwood, and it doesn’t punish a dive for a loose ball nearly as much. -- Los Angeles Daily News

FRESHMAN RANKINGS: UNC'S COBY WHITE IS FRESHMAN OF THE WEEK; ZION'S LEAD ON RJ BARRETT NARROWING IN FROSH WATCH

Last season, a freshman named Deandre Ayton put up 20.1 points, 11.6 rebounds and 1.9 blocks per game en route to becoming the No. 1 pick in the 2018 NBA Draft. This season, a freshman named Lamine Diane out of Cal State Northridge is putting up similarly gaudy numbers: 24.2 ppg, 10.8 rpg, 2.2 bpg. Diane’s doing his damage with a significantly higher usage rate — second among all Division I players — but what he’s accomplished this season is truly remarkable. He became CSun’s new all-time leader in points and field goals made in a season two weeks ago, when CSun still had four games remaining on its schedule. -- WDEF
