The Anteaters open a 13-point lead just four minutes into the game and roar to an 89-64 road win that moves them one game ahead of UC San Diego and guarantees them at least a top-two seed in the reformatted conference tournament.
Northridge is alone in fifth place after a 65-60 win and could end up as a top-four seed because UCSD has to sit out the conference tournament. Fullerton, meanwhile, is in danger of being left out entirely.
