Fullerton is a little bit of a surprise atop the standings but they’ve been solid the past few years. More surprised to see Hawaii with them at 4-0 (3 on the road) and the Beach just behind at 3-1 (all at home).
Much more surprised to see UCSB and Irvine pulling up the rear with 0-2 and 1-3 records!
Maybe things will calm soon with COVID and we’ll see if any teams are above or below their real potential
I see nothing out there about GIlliam. A clip on his twitter about helping future RB’s at some clinic where the poster referred to him as UCD RB, and tags Speckman
we had Smalley (UCLA) and White (Navy) who were key contributors to the defense last season. i think that's the norm for the FBS->FCS transfer. Finding that gamebreaker, who can meet our academics, is going to be tougher!
The cancellations could have been advantageous to us, assuming no make ups - miss road games v Hawaii, Bakersfield and UCSB, but get the two bottom teams on the road. Sluggish performance v Poly hurt. Fullerton at home next week will be a big big challenge- 4-0 in conference after beating Irvine on the road. It’s turned into a bitter rivalry
Up 8 12 to go. We’ve had a chance the last few possessions to really up that, but missed a couple good shots (and another FT). Defense has really picked up, even throwing a zone at them
21-20 us 4:00 to go. We look like we’ve slowed down and they are hitting shots. If we can get done inside offense, that might open things up - they are really pushing the defense out
seems like the Big West is suffering more than other conferences, or at least that's what it seems like based on the little college basketball coverage i see. i wonder if that's due to it being a SoCal dominant league?
5 point favorites tonight. i don't bet, but i don't think i'd wager on any games involving us. i think we were 8 point favorites vs Poly and that didn't work out well. hopefully, we've had 10 healthy bodies out there the past week so we could at least scrimmage and work some of the rust of last week out of our systems. Need a win tonight.
they said 9 scholarship players, but I gotta think that meant 9 total. Borra never played, and DeBruhl only a few. Not sure why Adebayo only got 8 minutes despite starting. Got to think Borra and DeBruhl aren’t back in playing condition.
I think that mostly reflected the style of play. They thought they had an advantage inside and pounded in there (plus they don’t shoot well). We hung outside except for Angwie, who probably should have gone to the line more often. I think he often doesn’t get call because his foot work gets goofy and the contact isn’t as obvious. Same with Fuller inside
