Game Notes: UC Davis  |  CSUN  |  Big West

 

DAVIS, Calif. – UC Davis will embark on its inaugural Big West road trip of the season when it visits Southern California for a pair of games against CSUN.

In addition to ESPN3's stream of Friday's 4 p.m. matchup from Northridge — David Gascon (PBP), Bill Herenda (analyst) and Courtney Sweet (sideline) will call the action courtside from the Matadome — Sports 1140 KHTK will provide Scott Marsh's broadcast over the airwaves and through the station's TuneIn Radio station.

Fans can follow Saturday's 2 p.m. contest on BigWest.TV (video stream) or Money 105.5 FM (radio/internet audio). All video, audio, live stats, in-game Twitter updates and game program links are available throughout the entire season by visiting Gameday Central at UCDavisAggies.com.

Ranked No. 1 (.799) and No. 3 (.749) respectively, this week's series will feature two of the league's top free throw shooting teams. Basketball fans should also keep an eye on the Matadors' TJ Starks and the Aggies' Ezra Manjon because they lead their teams in scoring and hold two of the Big West's top four scoring averages.

Starks, CSUN's junior guard, leads all players by averaging 20 points per game; UC Davis' sophomore guard is fourth in the league at 16.38 ppg.

This week's games are the first head-to-head matchups since last year's record-setting home shootout. In that Feb. 15 contest, UC Davis scored 110 points, the highest total in the program's Division I era, against a CSUN squad that shot 59 pct. overall, 53 pct. from three, 73 pct. at the line, scored 98 points and still lost by 12.

Including that result, which helped UC Davis sweep the 2020 season series, the Aggies won 17 of the last 20, and 11 straight played in Davis, against the Matadors.

However, the three games dropped by the Aggies to CSUN took place inside the Matadome in 2012, 2014 and 2019; the last loss suffered by the Aggies snapped their 11-game head-to-head win streak.

Last UC Davis Win: 2/15/20 — H, 110-98
Last CSUN Win: 2/23/19 — A, 81-76
