CSUN Set to Climb Tough Mountain

The madness begins Thursday for Cal State Northridge who open up against 2nd seeded Memphis in Kansas City. The Matadors worked out knowing full well they aren't given much of a chance to win. A true David vs. Goliath match-up.

A former player at NCAA tournament-bound Cal State Northridge and the coach's son were ordered to stand trial on theft and burglary charges.

Superior Court Judge Sanjay Kumar ruled Tuesday there was sufficient evidence to try 23-year-old Deon Tresvant and 22-year-old Jeffrey Robert Braswell along with a third man.

Arraignment is April 1.

Braswell is the son of Cal State Northridge head basketball coach Bobby Braswell, whose team plays Memphis on Thursday in the tournament. Tresvant was a senior guard on the team but hasn't played since the arrests were made in January.

Prosecutors say Jeffrey Braswell used a fellow employee's password to log into a cash register at a Best Buy store, then rang up merchandise that was not purchased.
