The College of San Mateo men’s basketball team got off to a tough start, dropping its first three games of 2019-20 at the City College of San Francisco Tournament.

CSM fell 77-74 in last Friday’s opener, closing a 13-point halftime deficit to make it close down the stretch. Freshman guard Bobby Arenas (Riordan-SF) turned in a sharp debut, totaling team-highs with 16 points, seven rebounds and three steals while adding three assists.
