The Stockton Arena will be host to eight California Collegiate Athletic Association men and women’s basketball teams this upcoming weekend.

Pomona and UC San Diego are currently ranked in the top-10 of the west region—Pomona ranked seventh and UC San Diego ranked third—while Humboldt State and Cal State LA ranked outside of the top-10. The men of Cal State LA are hoping to become the first No. 8 seed to win the CCAA tournament championship. Pomona was the only other No. 8 seed to advance to the tournament in 2008, winning against Dominguez Hills only to lose to UC San Diego in the finals. Women's Basketball CSU San Bernardino will face off against CSU Dominguez Hills while CSU East Bay will go up against UC San Diego.
In the women’s western regional rankings, UC San Diego is ranked third, Cal State East Bay is ranked sixth and Dominguez Hills is ranked seventh while San Bernardino is out of the top-10 ranks.
