    I’m assuming he’s graduating since he’s played 4 seasons after redshirting his freshman year. Must want to take his COVID year at a higher level

    I have only watched bits and pieces, but what I’ve seen is not very impressive, especially half court offense. Makes me appreciate Les’ motion approach.

    what’s weird is UCI had a NET ranking of 77, Long Beach had a 170. LB is a 15 in NCAA, UCI a 15 in NIT. Maybe LB is a result of weak automatic berths, but there can’t possible be 56 with higher NET in the NIT!

    -10.5 means UCSD is the favorite; in betting terms, they are starting with a 10.5 point deficit that they have to make up for the bettor to win.

    Just read your late post - they must have changed it

    really surprised Irvine with a 24-9 record is a 15 seed. Tough draw

    you got the odds wrong on UCSD - they are 10 point favorites as the #2 seed.

    Niko graduated but is looking for a grad program at Davis (according to Scott Marsh). Hopefully he’ll find a opportunity and be back

    I think when you compare the rosters, you have to give Les huge props for being in the championship, let alone having a chance to win in the final minutes. Pepper, Johnson and some tough, smart competitors!

    Not off to a great start down 6-2 14:00 to go. 1-11 from field

    I actually thought the play-in for us last time was perfect. Only TV game and a chance to get a W. Better than playing a 1 seed along with 3 other televised games

    2 point favorites, but ESPN likes them at 56%.

    Need another hot start from Milling. Can’t get too reliant on Pepper - 23 shots I think indicates a stagnant offense. And we CANT get killed on the boards.

    Scary how fast that almost went south. Up 8 with 1:30 we run a perfect inbound (saving that all year?) to Tamba with 1 on shot clock, it rolls out and we foul on the rebound. So, instead of up 10 with the clock running with less than 1:30, they sink 2 FTs with a stopped clock and 6 point deficit and can set up their press (TY turnover).

    That ball rolls in and we’re spending the last minute at the FT line icing the game.

    Whew

    Irvine 10-19 from FT line - killer

    I listened to much of the 2nd half. Turned it on when we were up 13 and…..sorry about turning it into a cliffhanger!

    Greg Wong is good. The abrupt transition from him to KDVS broadcast (foreign language bossa nova music) was, uh, interesting!

    Need solid games from Borra and Rocek because DaSilva kind of had his way with us in Davis. If they get him going and hit 3s, they’ll be a tough game

    too bad they didn’t want to win enough in the regular season to save his job!

    We’re 1-point underdogs but a couple of the odds/prediction sites like us.

    How did we go vs Poly during the season?
  • Pepper Watch
    He’s been so much fun to watch throughout his career. Great player, hard worker and great teammate!

    UCSD had been ‘selected’ to participate in the CBI. Comes with a $27500 fee; seems worthwhile expense to reward the players who stuck around without a opportunity to play in the Big West championship (and beyond)
