The Cal-State Fullerton Titans began their season by playing the Minnesota Golden Gophers in the first round. NBA scouts were onhand to see the many stars of the tournament including much-hyped freshman Kris Humphries.

Pape Sow, who had 14 points and 7 rebounds in the first half, finished the game with 26 points,16 rebounds, and 3 blocked shots. Randy Holmes chipped in with 14 points, 3 rebounds, 4 assists, and 2 steals. "We played as a team tonight and it showed." said Coach Gladney. Minnesota's Maurice Hargrow led their team with 19 points.

Babacar Camara was injured in the first half of the game. The team trainers say he has sprained his neck and will be out for 2 weeks.

Just a head's up: There probably won't be an update until Wednesday morning. I'm playing in an All Star basketball game tonight. Tomorrow I'll be able to play a game.

Question: I tried to play yesterday and when I continued my legacy I was facing No. Arizone in the Carrier Dome. I thought I was supposed to play UConn? I need to check to make sure that this game is still part of the Kush Invitational. Does anyone know how many rounds that Pre-season tourney is? Maybe it's just one round? I'm not sure. No. Arizona wasn't even in the tourney. What's going on? Do you play your tourney games later in your schedule? My game vs. Minnesota was on a Monday. No. Arizona is on a Thursday. Will the UConn game be later?
