OKLAHOMA CITY -- The West region's No. 15 seed Cal State Bakersfield have a tall order for its first NCAA tournament game as a Division I program.
The WAC tournament champions face No. 2 seed Oklahoma in a de facto road game for CSU Bakersfield. But coach Rod Barnes' players aren't intimidated heading in to Friday's game.
"I think they're a good team, but they are not great," Roadrunners senior Aly Ahmed said. "They are beatable. We play pretty good defense, and we proved a lot of things since last year, since this program has started building maybe four, five years ago.
