Losing
Gonchar for the year pretty much kills our title hopes, I think. But we'll see.
Jeromy Harrington steps in as the new starting SF, with raw freshman
Jeffrey Aponte as his backup.
It's an ugly one, but we eke out a 64-62 road win over
UC-Irvine as
Muhammed Owen puts up 16 points, 14 rebounds, and a block,
Kevin McKenzie scores 15 with a block and a steal, and none other than
Jeromy Harrington is PotG by going 11/12 from the line for 13 points, 4 assists, and 2 blocks to secure the victory.
Exceptional defense and 21 points, a block, and a steal from
Kevin McKenzie carries us to a comfortable 65-50 win over
Pacific. We also get 13 rebounds, a block, and 4 steals from
Muhammad Owen in the surprising rout over a bad team we usually play down to.
Eutropio Rey and
Ned Fraser are both back to playable in our next game vs
Cal Poly, but will see limited if any minutes. Naturally we immediately fail to score in the last 3 minutes and blow another game we should have won. Getting real tired of that shit happening. And of course
Kevin McKenzie is D2D injured on top of it when we have another game in two days. Getting real tired of the bullshit injuries too.
20 point blowout loss to
UC-Riverside as expected due to all the suspensions and injuries. Then with everyone healthy, we abandon our press almost entirely on the advice of my assistants and get:

Maybe it's what I should have done to begin with, I don't know.
20 points and 3 steals by PotG
Jakub Sedlacek,
Muhammad Owen with 12 points and 10 rebounds, 18 points, 2 blocks, a steal by
Kevin McKenzie, and 12 and 11 bench points from
Eutropio Rey and
Jeromy Harrington, and we've got a huge road rout over
UC-Davis that's critical for early season positioning in the Big West.
Fucking HORSESHIT BUZZER-BEATER LOSS vs Hawaii in a game we owned.
It's also bullshit that we even have to go to OT against the Gauchos, who are one of the conference's worst teams this year. But at least...

We pick up recruit #4 on the year. He's trash by our scouting, but I'm betting on his Red/Red being a misfire.
