    CSUN men’s basketball is bad and I mean really bad. Not much local talent on the team (of which there is plenty)one look at the current roster and I’m predicting ANOTHER 20 DEFEAT season. Coaching takes WORK, the bb staff needs to do a better job recruiting and coaching. Last but certainly not least, how does a team have that many INELIGIBLE players last season and no one gets blamed. Not any coach, not the AD. It’s because no one cares. Sorry, won’t be attending ANY of these games. I’ll probably attend the girls games instead.Get it together CSUN or go back down to division II.
