Facing Grand Canyon at the D-1 level for the first time, UC Davis holds a 12-4 edge ,but has not played them since 2004. They are coming off an outstanding 2023-24 season in which they finished 30-5 upsetting #5 seed St. Mary's in the NCAA tournament before losing to #4 seed Alabama. Their only loss this season has been to Arizona State (who, in turn, has only lost to Gonzaga). They're returning all five starters, so this will be a huge test for the Ags. Their leading scorer is 6'8" senior forward JaKobe Coles, who is averaging 19.7 ppg. but they have five players averaging in double figures. This is probably the best team that UC Davis will face this season. The game will be on ESPN+. I can't bear to watch (but I'll also be on a trip to Hawai`i Island, so I couldn't even if...).
