Hawai`i (home, 5-1) 67, Hawai`i Pacific (2-5) 63

Long Beach is really down. I know they lost a bunch to the portal after they let Munson go, but I thought they had reloaded a bit. Maybe not

Hawai`i barely got by their division 2 neighbor, a bit like our problems with Menlo.

Irvine in ranked #3 in the mid-majors poll.

Games of Nov. 26:

UC Irvine (neutral, 7-0) 51, Kent State (5-2) 39
UC Santa Barbara (home, 6-1) 81, Mississippi Valley State (1-7) 48

UC Irvine is in a four team tournament in Lethbridge, Alberta called the Western Slam. Each team plays all of the other teams across three days, something I'd not heard of before.

Irvine, Santa Barbara and San Diego are off to impressive starts this season and Irvine is looking particularly strong.

CSUN (away, 6-2) 72, Montana State (3-5) 69, OT

you play Cal Poly next week.)
Southern Utah (7-2,) 74, CSU Bakersfield (away, 4-4) 64
Pacific (5-4) 64, CSU Fullerton (away, 4-5) 55
UC Irvine (neutral, 8-0) 67, Towson State (4-5) 60 (End of Western Slam Tournament. Anteaters get the

Cal Poly 97 Stanford 90 at Stanford
Idaho 80 Riverside 68
San Diego 109 La Verne 33
Pacific 64 Fullerton 55
Southern Utah 74 Bakersfield 64
Irvine 67 Towson 60 - Irvine is 8-0

I don't mind at all if you want to take this over for all the conference games.

I doubt that I would keep it current and timely all the time. So I'm happy for anyone to post up the scores as soon as they know them. Maybe the scores will be posted more consistently if there are a few of us trying to keep them up to date.

I don't know what to make of UCSB so far as they've played one of the softest schedules in the country. I think they'll get punched in the mouth by UCSD which is playing really well and have have faced some tougher competition.
Davis seems to be struggling right now though. Is TY 100%?

he looks healthy. He’s just getting everyone’s attention and teams have been very physical with him especially far from the hoop. Both Norfolk and OSU were very deep and could throw a lot of bodies at him. And, I thought, the Beavs were allowed a lot of contact. He’s not getting a ton of scoring support, especially in the front court.

UCI #1 in this mid-major poll......ahead of Gonzaga??????

that’s kinda crazy since AP has Gonzaga 7, with Irvine in the ‘receiving votes’ with 2

Game of Dec. 3:

Grand Canyon (5-2) 78, Hawai`i (away, 5-2) 72

The Bows made a game out of it after being down big at the half.

49 of Hawai`'s 72 points came from the bench.

UC Irvine (home,9-0 ) 82, CSU Bakersfield (4-5) 66
Long Beach State (2-8 ) 73, CSU Fullerton (home, 2-7) 56
It's worth noting that all four home teams (including UCI) trailed at some point in the second halves.

Games of Saturday, Dec. 7:

UC Riverside (home, 6-4/2-0) 75, CSU Fullerton (2-8/0-2) 68
Long Beach State (home, 3-8/2-0) 76, Hawai`i (5-3/0-1) 68

UC San Diego (home, 8-2/1-0) 81, CSU Bakersfield (4-6/0-2) 60

Watch out for San Diego this season...they're the real deal.

Games of Dec. 9:

Long Beach State (away, 4-8/1-3) 76, San Diego (3-7) 70
CSU Fullerton (home, 3-8/1-1) 61, La Sierra (0-12) 55

What should be shocking about the latter game is how close it was. La Sierra is a very weak NAIA school.

UC Santa Barbara (home, 7-3/0-2) 86, Green Bay (2-10) 66

The following is from Gauchodan's column that writes about Big West Basketball:

Logan, Utah, is one of the toughest places to play in the nation. Utah State is 35-3 at home in the last 3 seasons and came into last night as one of just 5 undefeated teams in the nation. The elevation of 4,700+ feet can stymie all but the most well-conditioned teams. The crowd, 7,354 last night, is knowledgeable and vocal.

Utah State came into the game with a NET of 20 and a projected 9 seeding for the NCAA Tournament by ESPN bracketologist Joe Lunardi. For what it’s worth, Lunardi was projecting UCSD as the Big West auto bid and a 12 seed with UC Irvine one of his first four teams out.

The Tritons overcame all of the challenges to bolster the Big West Conference’s two-bid scenario. If UCSD and UCI can hold serve, finish 1-2 in the conference standings and face each other in the conference championship game, I think they’re both in.

Would be wild to have two teams in from the big west…

Last time that happened was when? Back when UOP and UNLV were in the Big West?
