Titans halt 49ers’ undefeated run

Fullerton hits late back-to-back threes to spoil rival’s quest for 16-0 Big West record.

said. “Those are not usually a one- or two-day thing. I’m more concerned, not with what happened in this game but for next week.” Anderson is scheduled for an MRI exam Monday morning.

Anderson’s right knee crumpled when teammate Casper Ware fell into it, making a bad day even worse for Ware. Ware, Long Beach’s leading scorer, was two for 15 from the field and finished with 10 points. He entered the game with a 17.3-point average.

Even with Anderson sidelined, the 49ers seemed to gain control of the close game when forward T.J. Robinson tipped in a rebound to put Long Beach ahead by seven, 65-58, with 6:41left.

Immediately, though, Seeley responded with a three-pointer that kickstarted an 11-2 Titans run that also included the momentous back-to-back threes.

“We just hung in there,” Fullerton Coach Bob Burton said. “They had the chance at that stage to put us out. But then they got in a zone defense; we hit those two three-pointers against the zone. We just did a nice job of attacking.”

The Titans also did a good job of making clutch free throws. Another Robinson rebound basket tied the game at 69 with 1:21 left. Fullerton didn’t score another basket after that but made eight straight free throws in the final 54.8 seconds.

Seeley, who finished with a game-high 27 points, made four of those.

“I’m not a great foul shooter,” said Seeley, who hits 71.9% from the foul line, “but I had been practicing.”

And sometimes practice does make perfect.
