The loss for the Pioneers drops them to an overall tally of 4-5 complete with a 1-2 showing in conference play.
 
 
On Tuesday, the latest NABC Coaches Poll came out that had the Broncos as the fifth-ranked team in the country. CPP will return to action on Saturday as they host Pacific Union in Kellogg Arena at 6:30 p.m.
 
 
Leading the game in points was Jordan Faison as the senior from Lake Forest tallied 24 points on a 7-for-12 showing complete with a three pointer and a stellar 9-of-10 free throws hitting their mark.
 
 
Faison also secured a tied for the team lead in rebounds as he and Chris Sullivan each tallied seven boards in the contest. Sullivan was third on team in the game with a total of 11 points. Second on the squad with 17 points of his own was Jeremy Dennis.
 
 
Each member of the Cal Poly Pomona men's team contributed in the contest as everyone tallied at least a pair of points. Bench players from the Green and Gold added 14 points in the game as the CPP defense limited the hometown Pioneers' bench players to six points.
 
 
In the contest, the Broncos recorded a 51.3% shooting from the field while holding the CSUEB squad to 35.6% shooting.
 
 
The Broncos opened the scoring as a jumper from Faison found its mark. Barry Bell then added a layup of his own to give the Broncos a 4-0 lead. CPP's offense stayed hot throughout however and never allowed the Pioneers to gain the lead. 
 
 
In the waning minutes of the first half and into the beginning of the second half, the Broncos registered their largest run of the contest with a nine-point spree.  CPP's defense prevented the hometown's offense from putting together more than a six-point spree.
 
 
In the second half, the closest that the Pioneers ever got to matching the Broncos' score was at the 5:41 mark when they sat just four back of the Green and Gold. The Broncos immediately added three baskets though and held at least an eight-point lead through the rest of the game.
