"They were the more aggressive team tonight," said head coach Jim Les. "They had 13 offensive rebounds and finished with 12 steals tonight. When that happens, there is added pressure on our offense.
"We did some good things on offense; I liked the way we attacked their zone especially from the new guys who faced a live zone, against another opponent, for the first time this season. It was a baptism by fire for those guys," Les added.
UC Davis shot .510 overall — it hit 52 percent of its shots in the first half and 50 percent in the second — compared to Arkansas State's .489 clip.
"When you shoot like that, that usually means you are in the game and have a shot to win," Les said.
In addition to his perfect shooting performance, Neufeld collected a team-high five rebounds.
"I liked [Matt's] aggressiveness tonight. He was solid with his fundamentals and aggressive once he received the ball, especially around the basket. When he does that, he is skilled, talented and can create scoring opportunities down low," said Les.
Like his teammate Neufeld, Mooney also finished with a team-high five boards.
"We have a day off to re-energize, watch some film, prepare for Sunday and hopefully enjoy a nice trip home," added Les after the game.
