* UC IRVINE (17-3, 9-1) at BOISE STATE (13-9, 5-4), 6:30, KUCI-FM (88.9)--Irvine Coach Pat Douglass gave the Anteaters a tongue-lashing behind locked doors after Utah State ended Irvine’s 13-game winning streak and climbed into a tie for first place in the Big West with a 67-52 victory. The tirade echoed in the corridor outside the locker room. “They took it to us,” reserve guard Aras Baskauskas said. Irvine beat Boise State, 76-71, three weeks ago.
