SEASIDE (Dec. 3, 2016) — CSUSB hit its first 11 free throws of the second half and powered past host Cal State Monterey Bay 67-54 in CCAA men's basketball Saturday night.
 
CSUSB (4-2 overall, 1-1 CCAA) was led by Everett Turner with 23 points, and Dorian Butler with 14. Eli Brown and Blake McBride each scored 13.
