CSUN Men's Basketball is set to open its home season against Nobel University on Wednesday at 7 p.m. This game marks the only home match for the Matadors throughout November, following a series of away games. CSUN finished its opening road trip with a 1-1 record; after a loss to St. Bonaventure, the team rebounded with a dominating win over Le Moyne.

By the Numbers
  • CSUN scored 97 points in their recent victory, the highest against a Division I opponent since February 2020.
  • Keonte Jones averaged a double-double with 13.0 points and 10.0 rebounds in the team's first two games.
  • Nobel University has lost all four of its games this season, including an 85-43 loss to Pomona-Pitzer.
Yes, But

Nobel University is in its inaugural season and has faced significant challenges, going winless thus far. The competition might be closer given CSUN's inconsistencies observed in their first game.

State of Play
  • CSUN will play five straight away games following Wednesday's home game.
  • The Matadors will next host UC Riverside for their Big West opener on December 5.
What's Next

CSUN aims to build momentum from their bounce-back win against Le Moyne as they anticipate a series of challenging away games after Wednesday's match. Continued solid performances from Washington and Jones will be vital for upcoming competitions.

Bottom Line

The Matadors must capitalize on their home opener against a struggling Nobel team to establish confidence as they prepare for a tough road ahead. This victory could set the tone for the rest of November.
