SANTA BARBARA, Calif. (AP) — Josiah Davis put up 31 points and tallied a double-double as CSU Northridge beat UCSB 85-83 in overtime on Thursday.
Davis had 14 rebounds and seven assists for the Matadors (17-10, 10-5 Big West Conference). Josh O'Garro scored 20 points while going 8 of 15 from the floor, including 2 for 4 from 3-point range, and 2 for 5 from the line, and added eight rebounds. Mahmoud Fofana had 14 points and 14 rebounds. It was the sixth win in a row for the Matadors.
