Weirdly enough, Cal State Northridge was a handful of possessions away from being this year’s big turnaround story. New Mexico’s Anthony Mathis tore out their hearts on opening day, they dropped one-possession games against a pair of middling WCC schools, and squandered a 19-point lead against San Diego State in the Viejas Arena. Unlike UC Riverside and Cal Poly, the Matadors have an ace in the hole: Freshman of the Year — and quite possibly the Conference Player of the Year — favorite Lamine Diane is one of 20 players averaging a double-double this season. Expect the Matadors to climb into a crowded middle class.
