Davis starts a crucial and challenging roadtrip this Thursday at Irvine. The Aggies are still sitting 3rd place, and, with a win, would pull into a 2nd place tie with the Anteaters. Meanwhile, UCI still has an outside chance of defending their BW regular season crown.

The two teams played a close game in Davis, five weeks ago, with the Anteaters prevailing by 3. Davis and UCI are evenly matched statistically. Irvine holds a slight (1.1ppg.) edge in points allowed, while Davis averages scoring an even 7.0 ppg. more than UCI. The Aggies will again need to play well for the entire 40 minutes, as they did at home last Saturday to take down league-leading Hawaii.
