Game Notes: UC Davis  |  Long Beach State |  Big West

 

DAVIS, Calif. – UC Davis will encounter a unique situation when it returns to the Pavilion for this week's Big West series versus Long Beach State — a team returning from a two-week pause following positive COVID tests that took place within the program in late January.

A video stream of each home game — Friday's action will begin at 3 p.m. with Saturday's tipoff slated for 1 p.m. — is available at BigWest.TV; Sports 1140 KHTK will also carry Scott Marsh's call for both games this weekend. In addition to video and internet audio links, Aggie basketball fans can follow the action through live stats or in-game Twitter updates. All links are available by visiting Gameday Central at UCDavisAggies.com.

Having played six straight games following a seven-week hiatus that ended on Jan. 22, the Aggies will return to action following last Saturday's 12-point victory at CSUN. With only two scheduled Big West series remaining in the regular season, following its matchups against the Beach, UC Davis' main goal (besides winning games), is to enter the league's tournament in Las Vegas playing its best basketball of the season, even though it played far fewer games this year compared to most BWC teams.

Forced to cancel matchups against UC San Diego and UC Santa Barbara in previous weeks, LBSU will compete in its first game since Jan. 23 when it traveled to Riverside, Calif., for a non-conference tilt at CBU. After ringing in the new year with a pair of Big West games against CSU Bakersfield and Cal State Fullerton, Long Beach State only played in one of the following seven games (at CBU), and needed to cancel its mid-month home games vs. CSUN due to positive results received by the Matadors.

Even though the Beach holds a 22-10 all-time series lead, UC Davis won a majority of games played within the last few years. In addition of winning six of the last seven played, the Aggies will arrive to Hamilton Court on Friday with three-game overall and four-game home win streaks against LBSU. If UC Davis wins both games played this week, that will mark its third series sweep in the last four seasons.
