Although the Roadrunners played UC Irvine tough, losing by only 4, and had a decent win over Cal Poly, the fact remains that they are 1-4 on the road and have only two wins against Division 1 schools. They live and die on defense, as they rank 11th in scoring offense in the Big West at 60.8 ppg, while holding opponents to 61.5, good for second in the conference. Their leading scorer is Kaleb Higgins, the only one on the team averaging double figures at 13.5 ppg. But again, their forte is defense. They average 5.8 steals and 3.6 blocks per game. Of course, we’re no slouch in those departments, averaging 6.5 and 3.3. UC Davis has won four straight games over CSU Bakersfield, squeaking by them at Davis last year 81-79. Overall, the Ags have a 6-2 series edge. We should be heavily favored to get our first conference win.
