2017 Big West Women's Basketball Tournament Central
For the first time since 1992, the Long Beach State women’s basketball team has punched its ticket to the NCAA Tournament after earning a 56-55 victory over UC Santa Barbara on Saturday night to win the Big West Conference Tournament. The conference championship was a first for the Beach since 1991, when they beat Cal State Fullerton to win the title. Second-seeded LBSU opened up an early lead on No. 4 seed UCSB and despite having the Gauchos rally and come from behind, managed to pull out a one-point victory in the final seconds to win the championship in dramatic fashion.
