Final 2009-2010 Long Beach State Projection:

The Big West is improving in general and this is a young team, but Coach Monson has built this group up and they are ready to take the next step and win the Big West. It is their youth that could cause problems once again this year. Even if the team wins the conference, the pressure will be on during the Big West tournament and all of the talented sophomores that were not ready for the pressure as freshmen, will have to be ready this time around.
