NCAA - San Diego teams

[WestCoastWildcat]

Both San Diego State and UC San Diego have both their men and women basketball teams in the Big Dance. This is the first year UCSD teams are eligible. SDSU got clobbered by NC yesterday. The Aztecs had a long trip across country and had little rest. NC played hard like they had something to prove.

UCSD has a tough game tomorrow against Michigan and their 2 seven foot giants. UCSD has a good team and might make it close if they are able to shoot threes for the upset. They are at a disadvantage against Michigan’s giants. UCSD women are very good as well. Making the leap to D1 has been a dream for the school and has been a long time coming.

Not all was bright and sunny in San Diego as the USD Toreros, Jim Harboughs old school, finished dead last in the West Coast Conference..at 6-27 . You would think a campus visit would get them anyone they wanted.

My UC San Diego Tritons had a great 2nd half to make it a game in the 2nd half. UM was lucky to have escaped with a win- they looked very mediocre in this game. I enjoyed the Tritons comeback after being down by 14 at the half. UCSD had a great season. Their future looks bright as a new DI program moving up from
D3 and the DII. Go Tritons!

Regarding USD- their AD just fired their head basketball coach, they might go after the UCSD head coach. He will get looks from other schools though UCSD has been good to him during his career there.

“USD fires basketball coach Sam Scholl after four seasons.Toreros won 21 games in his first season but tailed off last three years.”

USD has a scenic campus and has pretty nice facilities like the “Slim Gym” (donations from Jenny Craig led to the gym’s construction). Worth visiting for a walk around campus and also the UCSD campus has the Stuart collection of outdoor art worth seeing.

Michigan was playing stupid. Taking nothing but threes for a while and playing miserable jumping at everything. Plus terrible from the line. Did not see the first half but in the 2nd half they deserved to lose

The Tritons were nervous at the start and got behind 10-0. Michigan did not look good in this game. The Tritons had a real shot to win with their 2nd half comeback. It will be interesting to see which UM team will show up against Texas A&M. I was surprised they weren’t able to used their 2 seven foot players more effectively against UCSD.

Bad matchup
