Despite firing longtime head coach Dan Monson days ahead of their conference championship, Long Beach State is going dancing come Thursday after sweeping the Big West Tournament and earning a No. 15 seed in the NCAA Tournament
Despite firing longtime head coach Dan Monson days ahead of the Big West Tournament, Long Beach State is going dancing come Thursday. The team was coming off the heels of a five-game losing streak at the time that the athletic program announced they would part ways with Monson at the end of the season, ending a 17-year partnership.
'It's a tough draw for us, we know what our odds are ... But we also know there's 300 teams that are sitting home that would do anything to have our opportunity on Thursday,' He said. As for how they're moving forward, with even more unexpected time together? 'We're gonna take advantage of it. We're gonna enjoy it and embrace it,' Monson said. 'It's been the time of our lives really in this last week and we want it to continue.
