Aboubacar Traore - Leads scoring in exhibition Traore (back) had 15 points (4-5 FG, 7-7 FT), six rebounds and two blocks across 32 minutes in Friday's 73-71 exhibition victory over Biola. Impact Traore enjoyed a breakout freshman season with the Beach in which he needed just 23.5 mpg to post averages of 8.3 points and 8.1 rebounds. A back injury left him unavailable for the NIT, but his presence in Friday's low-stakes exhibition contest suggests he should be ready to go for the start of the regular season. Long Beach State opens up Nov. 7 at California Baptist.
