Long Beach State got some revenge for a loss to the Beavers back on November 18, winning 74-69 Friday afternoon.

Two big reasons for the 49ers picking up a split in the season series:

1. Junior guard Deishuan Booker, in his first season with Long Beach after transferring from the College of Southern Idaho, had 12 assists and just two turnovers to go along with 14 points. In the loss in Corvallis, Booker was held to five points and had a 1-to-5 assist-to-turnover ratio.

2. The OSU duo of Tres Tinkle and Drew Eubanks had a combined 46 points on 16-of-23 shooting in match up No. 1, but weren't much of a factor on Friday (21 points, 9-of-22 from the field).

Long Beach shot 52% (13-of-25) from the field in the second half. That's after knocking down 51 percent of its second half shots in the first meeting.

Game 301 - Long Beach State at Cal State Fullerton

February 11 at Titan Gym in Fullerton, CA

What a second half for Fullerton, which shot 68 percent over the final 20 minutes & pulled even at 5-5 in the Big West with a 74-69 victory.

It's the best 10-game start in conference play since the 2011-12 team won seven of its first 10.

Reserve Khalil Ahmad had scored just four points at halftime, but came alive in the second with 19 points on 7-of-9 shooting. Meanwhile, starter Tre Coggins missed just one of his seven shot attempts and broke through with 15 of his 22 points in the second.

The host Titans erased a 10-point deficit, & eventually took the lead for good at the 8:18 mark when Ahmad's conventional three-point play made it a 55-52 game.

Long Beach, which had all five starters score in double figures, but got just two points from its bench (Fullerton's bench, led by Ahmad scored 29), saw its six-game winning streak in the series come to an end.

With just under 10 minutes to play in the game (Eastern Michigan won 98-72), James Thompson was fouled and hit the floor hard. Here's what his forehead looked like afterwards:
