Cal State Fullerton and UCLA will initiate ESPN's second annual College Hoops Tip-Off Marathon, featuring 12 college basketball games over 24 consecutive hours of live programming to celebrate the start of the 2009-10 season.  The Titans and Bruins will assemble at center circle in UCLA's Pauley Pavilion on Monday, Nov. 16 at 9 p.m. PT (12 a.m. ET) on ESPN.

The Titans return four starters and welcome nine newcomers to the fold for 2009-10.  Point guard Jacques Streeter is the team's top returning scorer at 10.4 points per game.  He earned a spot on the Big West All-Freshman Team in 2008-09.  CSF finished 15-17 last season in Bob Burton's sixth year as head coach.
