WBB: CSUN (9-10, 4-1) at UCD (9-9, 4-1) 6 pm Wednesday, January 29th Totally agree. It was fun to watch this team last night. They struggled initially with CSUN's full court pressure and zone, but Coach Gross put the right players in the right positions to beat it. Once the team started to feel comfortable and confident, they just picked it apart and CSUN couldn't do anything to stop us.
The staff definitely has this program humming right now. Yes we lose great players, but players that were either part timers before, or new to the program, step up and produce. Next year we lose 3 talented seniors (maybe only two if Bessolo gets a medical RS) but we have a ton of incoming height and talent.
It seems that the next hurdle for the program is to start to compete regularly with Pac-12 schools. We hung with Stanford this year, which was nice, but traditionally most of our encounters have been blow outs. We need to consistently play at that level and occasionally knock one off. Perhaps that'll lead to better seeds if/when we make the tourney.
