* LONG BEACH STATE (10-18) vs. UTAH STATE (22-7), noon--A disappointing season for Long Beach can turn around with three victories. Utah State, with no one in the starting lineup taller than 6 feet 7, could have trouble with 7-1 Andrew Betts, who had 18 points and 11 rebounds in a 69-55 loss to the Aggies in January. Guard Marcus Saxon, who averages 16.1 points to lead the Aggies, is playing despite a partially torn ligament in his knee. Long Beach has lost four consecutive games and eight of its last 10.
