See Amimia. after an errant shot and told him: ``Keep shooting it big fella.'' He did. Slaughter took 1,000 shots Sunday - just him, a basket and a friend to rebound. ``I've got to find a way to fix it,'' Slaughter said. ``I've got to make sure it's right. My arm's hurting, but that's a good thing.'' Braswell hopes his team's shooting woes are over because CSUN CSUN California State University Northridge (8-13, 7-5) plays Big West Conference leader UC Irvine (17-7, 10-3) at 5:35 p.m. today at Northridge Gym.

That's what they want.' '' --Coach's critique: Braswell has submitted a report to John Dangleis, the supervisor for Big West officials, regarding the officiating in CSUN's 58-51 loss at UC Santa Barbara.
