Tuesdays game will be televised on ESPN, making this game Fullertons first national basketball exposure since Jan. 29, 1990, when the Titans lost in overtime on ESPN at UC Santa Barbara, 72-64.
The Titans (21-10, 12-6) are enjoying the second most successful season in their Div. I history, but at the rate they
are going in the 2005 Post-Season NIT, they may not have enough players left for the opening tip-off at Madison Square Garden. Backup point
guard John Clemmons broke a bone in his right foot the night before the opening round 85-83 overtime win at Oregon State and senior forward
Ralphy Holmes, the conferences leading scorer and rebounder, injured his left knee in Fridays 85-69 win at San Francisco and is done for the
season. That leaves Fullerton with only eight players counting forward Danny Lambert, who has played only 18 minutes all season. In playing
their third road game of the NIT, Fullerton will have seen seven different airports and been on the road for seven out of eight days with the
prospect of three more days out of a suitcase if they pull a huge upset over the Hoyas.
