SALT LAKE CITY—Long Beach State men’s basketball Coach Dan Monson’s tenure with the 49ers came to an end Thursday in the opening round of the NCAA Tournament.
Second-seeded Arizona took control with a 17–2 run over the first four minutes of the second half and cruised to an 85–65 victory over No. 15 Long Beach State, thus capping Mr. Monson’s 17-year run with the 49ers. The university announced March 11 that it would part ways with the veteran coach at season’s end.
