COLLEGE: SHEWMAKE LEADS CSUN TO VICTORY.Byline: Daily News For 3 1/2 seasons, Cal State Northridge's Thomas Shewmake has been plagued by inconsistency -- some would call the 6-foot-10 senior an underachiever -- but he finally has come into his own.

Now I'm doing what I need to do because it's come down to the last few games of my senior year." Shewmake made 10 of 16 shots -- including 2of 2 3-pointers -- with 10 rebounds, threeassists and two blocks.
