Drew Viney scored a career-high 35 points to lead visiting Loyola Marymount to its third win in a row, a 72-69 decision over San Diego on Thursday night. Loyola Marymount (16-13, 7-6 West Coast Conference) has won five of six and has its highest win total since the Lions went 18-11 in 1995-96. Viney, who also had eight rebounds, made 13 of 18 shots from the field, including four of his seven tries from three-point range. Kevin Young finished with 13 points. Chris Lewis scored all 13 of his points in the first half for San Diego (9-20, 2-11)

UCLA's postseason destination, if any, this basketball season, still has fill-in-the-blank possibilities. The Bruins still have high hopes -- the NCAA tournament -- with a low-rent possibility -- a first-round home game in the NIT -- as well as the unacceptable, as the $60,000 per home game guarantee the College Basketball Invitational demands is probably too steep of a price. A 65-56 victory over Oregon State at Pauley Pavilion Thursday may not inspire many whimsical NCAA tournament daydreams, but in Westwood these days, a win is a win. The Bruins teetered, and Tyler Honeycutt propped them up. The Beavers cut a 12-point Bruins lead to 50-49 with 4 minutes 42 seconds left.

Cal State Fullerton 70, at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo 68: Jacques Streeter made a 15-foot running bank shot at the buzzer to lift the Titans (15-12, 8-6 Big West) over the Mustangs (10-17, 6-8). Streeter had 21 points for the Titans, who won their fifth consecutive road game and fifth in a row overall. David Hanson had 17 points and nine rebounds for the Mustangs. at UC Santa Barbara 74, Cal State Northridge 69: Orlando Johnson scored 19 points and James Powell added 17 as the Gauchos (17-8, 11-3 Big West)

Michael Roll did all right by trading up in 2005. Roll had committed to UC Santa Barbara early in his senior year at Aliso Niguel. But diverting to UCLA on signing day put him on the road to three Final Fours, two of which he played in, and a national title game. Any regrets about his decision? "No way," Roll said, smiling. Roll, a senior guard for the Bruins, will play his final home games at Pauley Pavilion this week, starting Thursday against Oregon State. His final tour might not be a jaunt through another NCAA tournament, as the 12-14 Bruins are struggling to get to .500, but Roll's impact appears to be on those who are following him into the program.

at Fresno State 79, Cal State Bakersfield 68: Greg Smith and Mike Ladd each scored 17 points to lead the Bulldogs (14-15), who held the Roadrunners (7-20) to 36.9% shooting from the field. -- associated press TONIGHT Cal State Northridge at UC Santa Barbara...7 Cal State Fullerton at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo...7:30
