At 9 p.m. the league champion El Camino Warriors (21-7, 6-2) will play the winner of Thursday’s Pasadena-Mt. San Antonio game. Mt. SAC is the league’s last-place team and Pasadena (16-18, 4-4), which has lost twice to El Camino, is in fourth. The Warriors finished the regular season with a 91-75 victory over Long Beach, and Pasadena ended conference action with a 102-75 win over Mt. San Antonio.
