400It's pretty important to ignore the first two games that the Ags won against Cal Poly. Since the Mustangs last lost to us, they have gone 8-5. Their offense was always prolific but it's gotten even better and they are first in the scoring in the Big West. They have four players averaging in double figures in scoring. The ESPN website has this game as a virtual toss-up with CalPoly having a 50.1% chance of winning. The game will be broadcast on ESPN+. -

1.3kFrom The Big West Banter by Gauchodan:
The Mustangs (14-18, 8-12) have changed the narrative of their program, ending a conference losing streak that spanned 3 seasons with 8 wins in 12 games. Cal Poly won its last 3 games by an average of 26.3 points as it became increasingly more comfortable in Mike DeGeorge’s helter skelter offense. Cal Poly also held its last 3 opponents to a combined .400 field goal percentage. One team the Mustangs haven’t been able to beat is UC Davis, committing 53 turnovers in two losses.
The Aggies (15-16, 9-11) limp into Henderson on a 6-game losing streak. Regular season scoring leader TY Johnson was shut down by UC San Diego in the season finale, going 2 for 15 from the field for his only single digit scoring performance (5) of the season. UC Davis has shot .386 or less from the field in 4 consecutive games and has not topped .500 vs. a Division I opponent this season.

855not sure they are favored; they are scoring in bunches lately. Granted, it’s been mostly against the bottom part of the conference. We’ve defended them well twice….need another one tonight.
Surprisingly, the Big West tournament is NOT the talk of the hotel here in Henderson. I think teams are at the Green Valley Inn, next to the arena. Convenient and the room price for tonight was $750! Drops $500 after 4 teams go home after tonight. -

1.3kOur defense needs to tighten up. I'm not sure we want to get in a shootout with Poly.

1.3kThe BW is primarily a SoCal conference and I think they feel like Vegas offers a lot of entertainment for fans in addition to the tournament.
