Game Notes: UC Davis  |  UC Riverside  |  Big West

 
DAVIS, Calif. – UC Davis' league-long three-week, four-game road swing continues on Saturday when UC Davis visits UC Riverside in ESPN3's national broadcast. Tipoff inside the SRC Center in Riverside, Calif., is scheduled for 6 p.m.

Calling the action courtside for ESPN's broadcast are Sam Farber (PBP), Tammy Blackburn (Analyst) and Courtney Sweet (Sideline). Basketball fans can watch the Aggies face the Highlanders by visiting ESPN3.com or WatchESPN.com. Scott Marsh will provide a radio call for 1380 AM KTKZ's broadcast, links for live stats and in-game Twitter updates are also available at UCDavisAggies.com.

For the second straight week, men's basketball will enter its weekend matchup off a bye, and will return to action against UCR after facing Hawai'i, on its home court, in the team's previous game.

UC Davis will head to Southern California with a four-game win streak vs. the Highlanders, victories in four of the last six played in the Inland Empire and 10 of the last 13 overall. In addition to sweeping the regular season series, it also topped UC Riverside in the quarterfinal round of last year's Big West Tournament. 

If the Aggies win Saturday's game, their win streak against UCR will extend to five — the longest in the team's Division I era and the third time in the 59-year history UC Davis held a streak of this length against the Highlanders. 

Compared to the Aggies, who are in the middle of its longest league road trip of the season, UCR will host UC Davis in the second of four straight home games, a block of events that began on Jan. 31 against Cal Poly, and ends next week against Cal State Fullerton and UC Santa Barbara. 

Once UC Davis departs UC Riverside, these teams will not face one another until the final day of the regular season when the Highlanders visit the Pavilion on the Aggies' Senior Night. 

Entering its four-game homestand, UC Riverside won two of its last three games by topping Hawai'i at home and Cal Poly on the road before falling to UC Irvine on its home court last Saturday. Of UCR's eight victories (entering its Jan. 31 game vs. the Mustangs), six were collected on its home court.


Series Record: UC Davis leads 36-32
Last UC Davis Win: 3/8/18 - N, 70-66
Last UC Riverside Win: 1/12/17 - A, 61-55
Series Streak: UC Davis +4
