RIVERSIDE, Calif. – Cal State Fullerton men's basketball had its three-game winning streak snapped on Wednesday night at UC Riverside by a score of 69-65.

CSF (15-10, 8-5) failed to earn the season sweep against UC Riverside (8-19, 3-10). The Titans struggled all night with ball control as they had 20 total turnovers (11 in the first half, nine in the second) that led to 20 UCR points. Despite out-rebounding UCR 38-26 and leading for 20 minutes of the game, the Highlanders hung around and only turned the ball over 10 times.

Allman did his work in the second half, scoring 19 of his 21 points in the final frame. It is the 10th time this season he's scored more than 20 points in a game. He also hauled in eight rebounds, dished out an assist and had two steals.

Four Highlanders were in double figures, led by Dikymbe Martin with 19 points. Brandon Rosser (11 points), Alex Larsson (11 points) and Chance Murray (10 points) were the team's other double-figure scorers. Along with his 11 points, Rosser also had eight rebounds and a game-high three blocks.

Sophomore forward Jackson Rowe recorded his third double-double of the season as he had 17 points (6-8 FGA, 4-7 FT) and 11 rebounds along with three steals and a block.

Junior guard Kyle Allman, Jr. led the way for CSF with a game-high 20 points, marking the 12th time this season he has scored 20+ points. Allman hauled in three rebounds, dished out two assists and had a block.

Junior guard Khalil Ahmad also scored in double figures with 11 points and had six rebounds.

CSF returns to the court on Saturday at 7 p.m. PT when it hosts Long Beach State on ESPN2.
