The Great Eight may be coming to Thousand Oaks.

Cal Lutheran University was tabbed as possible site for the California Community College basketball championships in a meeting of Commission on Athletics administrators Sunday, according to Solano coach Matt Borchard, the outgoing president of the California Community College Women's Basketball Coaches Association.

"It's in the running," said Borchard. "All I can say is that we will probably know something in a couple weeks.

"Cal Lutheran looks like a nice site, but no contract has been signed."

Cal Lutheran athletic director Dan Kuntz said Sunday that the COA had expressed an interested in using the three-year-old Gilbert Center.

"We are trying to work through some details," said Kuntz. "We are in the process. If we can hammer out an agreement, then I think we'll be there.

"It's something that we would really like to do."


The tournament has spent the last decade in Fresno, San Diego, Stockton and Irvine.
