MBB NOTES

• UC Davis Men's Basketball is fresh off a gritty 75-60 win against Arkansas State. 
• Robby Beasley III recorded his highest scoring output of the year with 15 against Arkansas State on a 6-10 shooting night from the field.
• Elijah Pepper contributed all over the court against Arkansas State, posting a 12 point, 11 rebound double-double with two stocks (one steal, one block) and three assists. Pepper keeps inching closer to eclipsing the 1,000 career points scored and is just 35 points away as he has racked up 965 points scored in his four years as an Aggie to date.
• Coach Les praised his team's defensive effort against Arkansas State and will look to keep playing with that high-intensity against Sacramento State.
• Even in a very physical matchup, the Aggies still have made a concerted effort to push the pace. This emphasis has led to a top-100 scoring offense while being the 28th ranked team in three-point percentage. 
• With the added pace and versatility, Davis has been able to win the rebound battle on most nights and rank in the top-100 in every meaningful rebounding category.
• UC Davis has averaged 78.8 points and held their opponents to just 69.3.
• This scoring margin has been supplied by ball movement, guys getting to their spots on the floor, and winning the rebound battle most nights which has led to great opportunities for second-chance points.
• UC Davis MBB boasts three different members averaging double figures. At the head of this is Preseason All-Big West member Elijah Pepper who is averaging 20 points per game and right behind him is newcomer Ty Johnson clocking in at 15.8 per game and senior Christian Anigwe who leads the Aggies in blocks while averaging 12.3 points per game.
