MBB: UC Davis (12-10, 6-5) at Long Beach State (7-16, 3-8), Thursday, Feb. 6 at 7:00 pm Not sure what adjustments we made between the matchups with these guys but we really stifled their offense. Commentators kept mentioning how many times, especially in the second half, that they were forced to shoot with less than 5 seconds on the shot clock.
I do wish Les would use the bench more in the second half. I think Daugherty and Cooper have become reliable contributors (and Daugherty is showing he can score) but their minutes are almost exclusively in the first half. When we have a night where Sevilla isn’t scoring, we’re limited to TY and Tamba as scoring options (Leo doesn’t look very confident shooting these days). I think that’s a big reason we can put teams away.
8 league games to go. Can we go 4-4? Considering
an Irvine rematch and 2 with UCSD, that would be a good finish. 11-9 might be a top 4 with some luck (we have a tie breaker over UCSB).
