The mustangs are led by Kobe Sanders, 4th in the Big West in points per game. The Mustangs rank first in the Big West in shots blocked. This rivalry game often comes down to the wire. Remember last year?
Davis, Calif. — In possibly one of the greatest comebacks in UC Davis Men's Basketball history, the Aggies were able to storm back with a 15-0 run during the final 4:23 and defeat the visiting Cal Poly Mustangs, 65-63. Capping off a game-high 21 point night, Ty Johnson delivered the game-winning bucket driving to the hole and converting a layup with just eight seconds remaining. With barely any time left, Cal Poly's Kobe Sanders would storm down the court but was eventually met at the rim by Christian Anigwe who denied any chance of the game going into overtime with an emphatic block.
33-27 Aggies at the half. The Ags got off to a fast start but then went through a scoring drought and Poly cut the lead to one before the Aggies created a little separation again. Pepper with 17.
With about 8 minutes left, TY has yet to score a field goal, but he does have 4 assists and 3 steals. Like all solid players, he doesn't need to score to contribute.
A solid offensive performance shooting 50% from the arc, about that well overall and 92.9% from the foul line. Plus good balance, Pepper getting his, but 7 other Aggies scoring .
The Aggie defense was excellent again. I haven't seen all the BW teams play this year but I've seen the front runners and I haven't seen anyone play tougher defense yet. I'm also glad to see Milling scoring more and looking more confident with each game. Rocak and Borra are making good progress also. Things are looking up!
Bossie Cow-Cow died a few decades ago at least. But I can remember how the cheer could really shift the team to a new gear. But I think it's simply gone now and not enough people remember it to even get a feeble effort during the game unless someone really put a lot of effort into restoring it.
