College
Urbiztondo was scouted by newly hired coach, Tony Raffetto, who reluctantly told him after tryouts that he had best red-shirt for the 2001-2002 season because Skyline was already stocked with skilled, experienced guards. He decided to try commuting to Foothill, the Los Altos Hills community college that was reviving basketball after firing a coach and suspending it's program because of recruiting irregularities. Urbiztondo became the leading scorer at Foothill College each of his first two seasons earning All-conference honors both years. He helped lead the Owls to the State Playoffs, netting 15.1 points per game, 3.9 assists, 2.7 steals per game. Urbiztondo was then offered a full-ride scholarship to Fresno Pacific University, a Division I school in the Golden State Athletic Conference. He was ranked nationally averaging 11.5 ppg, 2.4 rpg, 3.3 apg and had a .822% in Free Throws. He was awarded the prestigious 'Sunbird Award' for Men's Basketball 2005-2006.
