Fullerton, Calif. - Six home games before Christmas, short drives to UCLA and Pepperdine and a long Thanksgiving road trip highlight the non-conference portion of the 2006-07 Cal State Fullerton men's basketball schedule.

Fullerton will play same-season home-and-home series against Texas-San Antonio and Louisiana-Lafayette, each of whom will visit Titan Gym in December. The Titans will play at San Antonio and Lafayette on the Thanksgiving trip that will see them return last year's Bracket Buster game vs. Eastern Washington on the way home from the South.

A Dec. 5 date at UCLA will be Fullerton's ninth visit to Pauley Pavilion but first since 1997.

The home season opens early with games on Nov. 10 and Nov. 14 vs. California Maritime Academy and Hope International, respectively. UTSA plays in Titan Gym on Dec. 2 and there are three home games prior to the Big West Conference schedule in Bethune-Cookman (Dec. 16), Louisiana-Lafayette (Dec. 20) and San Jose State (Dec. 23).

Fullerton opens Big West play on Dec. 28 at Cal Poly. The Titans also have the final year of non-conference games vs. UC Davis (Jan. 25 in Titan Gym and Mar. 3 at Davis) and must travel to a site to be determined for this year's Bracket Buster on Feb. 17.

All Saturday home games except Dec. 23 will tip off at 6:05 p.m.
