It wasn't easy, but Long Beach State wrapped up at least the fourth seed and a first-round bye in next week's Big West Conference Tournament Friday night. The Beach (15-15, 8-8 Big West) built a double-digit lead and then held off a UC Riverside (12-17, 5-11 Big West) rally to claim a 76-74 Big West Conference win at the Walter Pyramid in front of 4,164 fans.
