The Cal State Fullerton Titans posted a 98-58 win over visiting UC Riverside in a Big West conference game at Titan Gym in Fullerton Saturday.
The Highlanders are 3-15, 0-5, while the Titans improved to 13-3, 4-1.
UCR sophomore guard Chris Johnson had a team-high 19 points, 17 in the second half, and freshman forward Henrik Thomsen had 10 points, shooting 1-of-9 from the field but 8-of-8 from the free throw line. The Titans had six players score in double figures and a trio of double-doubles by Justin Burns (19 points, 14 rebounds), Scott Cutley (10 points, 13 rebounds) and Bobby Brown (14 points, 10 assists). The Titans won the battle of the boards, 56-31.
The Highlanders shot 20.6% in the first half, hitting seven of their 34 shots and none of their eight three-point attempts. The Titans were at a 48.7% clip (19-of-39) and had a double-double by Burns of 15 points and 10 rebounds at the intermission. UCR trailed 15-10 with 11:34 remaining, but didn't score for the next 6:20 as the Titans went on an 18-0 run that put the game out of reach.
The second half saw the Highlanders improve to 38.2% shooting, but the Titans also improved, hitting 65.6% from the field.
Freshman guard Charles Jim-George started but played just a minute before straining his left ankle. He did not return.
