* CAL STATE SACRAMENTO (1-22, 0-13) at CAL STATE NORTHRIDGE (9-14, 5-8), 7--Dept. of small consolations--Northridge has clinched at least seventh place in the Big Sky and has gained a berth in the conference tournament only because fourth-place Portland State is ineligible for postseason play as a second-year program. Senior guard Trenton Cross has scored in double figures in six of the last seven games. Mike O’Quinn, the Matadors’ leading scorer, was held under 10 points for the first time all season in a 92-86 loss to Weber State on Thursday. Sacramento State has lost 14 in a row and has not won at Northridge since 1986.
