Three Big West baseball programs – Cal Poly, Cal State Fullerton and UC Irvine – are ranked among the national top 25 this week as the trio sports a combined record of 14-7.

Once again, select home contests will be broadcast by institutions on BigWest.TV, the conference's video streaming initiative in partnership with CBS College Sports.

The final week of the regular season has Long Beach State secure as the top seed in the 2012 Big West Basketball Tournament and facing 8-seed UC Davis in the quarterfinals on Thursday, March 8.  The remaining seeding order is still yet to be determined.

Long Beach State aims to become the ninth men's basketball squad in Big West history to finish conference play undefeated.  The 49ers (21-7, 14-0), having already wrapped up the regular season title and tournament No. 1 seed, face two more obstacles to that achievement as they host UC Irvine and travel to Cal State Fullerton (on Fox Sports West) this week.

For the seventh year, all home and conference games, with the exception of ESPN and FOX Sports contests, will be broadcast by the institutions on BigWest.TV, the conference's video streaming initiative in partnership with CBS College Sports.

The final field is still yet to be determined for the 2012 Big West Basketball Tournament with just one week to go in the regular season.  Cal Poly continued its winning streak last week extending to nine with a pair of wins against Long Beach State and Cal State Northridge.  In the process, the Mustangs claimed at least a share of their 2nd-straight Big West regular-season crown.

For the seventh year, all home and conference games, with the exception of ESPN and FOX Sports contests, will be broadcast by the institutions on BigWest.TV, the conference's video streaming initiative in partnership with CBS College Sports.
