The Cal State Fullerton Titans are off to a 10-9 start to the 2022-23 NCAA Basketball season, sixth in the Big West. They are coming off a win against the Cal State Bakersfield Roadrunners (76-46) in their last outing where Latrell Wrightsell Jr. led the scoring charts with a 18-point performance followed by Tory San Antonio and Max Jones, who contributed 13 points each.
The Titans will now take on the Long Beach State 49ers, who are on a 8-10 start to the season, seventh in the same conference, and faced a defeat against the Hawaii Rainbow Warriors (79-70) in their previous outing.

The game will be hosted by them at the Walter Pyramid on Thursday (January 19) where they will look to end their losing start.
