It has been a pretty entertaining first half of Big West Conference semifinal action in the Anaheim Convention Center Arena, especially if you like turnovers (30 of them . . . 15 apiece) and small crowds (I'm not sure there are 500 folks in here).
It's tied at halftime as the UC Santa Barbara Gauchos came from nine down (25-16) with eight minutes to play.
I've got to think the crowd will grow considerably by the time Long Beach and Pacific get after it at 7:45ish.
Frank:
Do you think Jim Stupin will officiate tonight's BIG WEST final? He has officiated about the last 20 Finals or so.
