MBB: UC Davis (15-10, 9-5) at UC San Diego (21-4, 11-2), Saturday, Feb. 15 at 7:00 pm What we learned from last year - they will run it up. — DrMike
...and they did again. UCSD is a really good basketball team but I don't like it when their coach keeps his starters in there just to run up the score in a blowout win. I'm not sure his bench players like it either. Pretty tough for them when they can't get any minutes when they're up by 29 and the game is a blowout.
That said, I think they're the best team in the league. They had us outmanned at nearly every position and they took advantage of our man defense whenever they got a mismatch and they have players with size that can take the ball inside and then burn you from deep as well. We couldn't stop them with our man-to-man defense and, when we tried a zone, they just drilled 3's.
Les didn't come out for the radio, post-game interview so you know he's not a happy camper. It's gonna be a long flight home. We need to put this one behind us and take care of business at home next week.
