RIVERSIDE — In his final Crosstown Showdown, Dominique Daniels Jr. had the “CBU Crazies” feeling a certain kind of way.

To chants of, “This is our town,” Daniels scored a game-high 25 points as the California Baptist University men’s basketball team ran away with an 80-57 victory over UC Riverside at the Fowler Events Center on Tuesday night.

“If that’s what they feel then that’s what it is at the end of the day,” Daniels said. “That’s the crowd. That’s the fans, and we love our fans.”

Daniels shot 7 of 15 from the field — making 3 of 5 from 3-point range — and also was a perfect 8 for 8 from the free-throw line as CBU improved to 4-0 overall for the first time since 2021.

“It’s an intense game with UCR each and every time we play,” Daniels said. “The energy level is always up there.”
