Predictions keep coming from the Cal State Northridge basketball team.

On Saturday, Coach Bobby Braswell promised the capacity crowd the Matadors would win tonight at Eastern Washington and return to host the Big Sky Conference tournament next week.

This week, forward Jeff Parris a prediction of his own--albeit tongue in cheek.

“I predict . . . “ Parris said, pausing for effect. “I predict that I will play [against Eastern Washington]. I can’t predict how long I’ll play and I can’t predict if we’ll win or lose. But I know I’m going to play.”
