Scouting Fullerton
After a 67-63 loss on the road at Davis, the Titans are as hungry as the 49ers are for a Big West victory. They had two quality wins in November over New Mexico St. (84-73) and UCLA (68-65) and they are led by a very balanced attack.  Jacques Streeter, Aaron Thompson and Jer’Vaughn Johnson are all averaging 10 points per game.  Johnson leads the team in the point as is averaging six rebounds per game.  Thompson is almost 70% (21-for-31) from behind the arc.
