But of course, Eutropio Rey gets injured and will play limited minutes our next game. We promptly go out and shoot 18.8% in the first half with just 8 points to lose to Cal Poly, which should have been a gimme. Hilariously, Paul Dyer gets hurt and is out 56 days.

All five starters score 12+ points in a comeback win against UC-Davis, headlined by Tim Grey's 16 points, 9 rebounds, and 3 blocks.

Eutropio Rey scores 18 with 2 steals in a road rout of Hawaii. We also see 17, 14, and 10 points from Major Ramirez, Jeromy Harrington (also a block and a steal), and Ned Fraser respectively, while Tim Grey just misses a double-double with 8 points, 11 rebounds, 2 blocks, and a steal. Unfortunately, Paul Mattson is hurt for the second time this season and is out 32 days. The injury rate this year has been ridiculous.

Still, it feels good to have .500 in conference play wrapped up this early. It's the first time we've gone at least .500 in the Big West for two straight seasons.

And of course fucking Pacific beats us at our own fucking home on a fucki;;ng B ULLSHIT BUZZER BEATER!!!! FUCK THAT!!!!!

And then we blow a 10 point fucking lead to the Gauchos to also lose at home in OT.

Horse fucking shit. God fucking damn it. This happens every fucking time we actually look like having a fucking good season shit fucking MELTS DOWN

Major Ramirez and Jeromy Harrington get sick of the losing and combine for 37 points and a steal each as we punch Long Beach State in the mouth at their place. Tim Grey adds 10 points, 3 blocks, and a steal, as we clinch a winning Big West season for two straight years for the first time in this universe.

It's a hollow accomplishment. Those bullshit losses cost us our shot at the title. Now our best hope is probably third place.

Congratulations to Robert Serra:

Player of Game: SG Robert Serra (CSNTH)

Our first freshman to win a Player of the Game award in a long time, and it's our third OT game this year. We've gone 2-1 in them. We've also clinched 11-7 in Big West play, which is what we had in 2017 and 2019, our two best seasons to date.

I *believe* third place is sewn up with the tiebreaker edge over Hawaii and no shot at taking UC-Santa Barbara for second due to the same reasons. UC-Riverside has already clinched the championship of course.

Eutropio Rey scores 16 in our blowout of CSU-Fullerton, with Major Ramirez and Jeromy Harrington each scoring 10 - Harrington had 2 steals, too.

And then LOL. Ned Fraser is out 26 days and Robert Serra is day-to-day. I continue to be completely FUCKED by the injury bug whenever we're going well.

Anyway, we've posted a guaranteed winning record for two straight seasons, another universe history first.

Big West Conference Tournament
We're the 3 seed against UC-Davis with a slew of injuries. Robert Serra still isn't back to full health, and Paul Mattson is only back to DTD.

The Aggies are pounding our asses but we fight back to get into the game, going ahead with just under 4 minutes to play. They take the lead and then we get it back. 10 seconds left. Major Ramirez fouls out. Aggies hit 1 of 2 and it's tied 67-all.

Brian Klingensmith, the true freshman big I wanted to redshirt drives. He goes up for the shot at the left baseline with 1 second left and is fouled.

Misses the first.
Hits the second!

And we advance to the second round of the Big West tournament for only the second or maybe third time in universe school history. It's Klingensmith's only point of the game.

But it was Eutropio Rey who carried the team on his back. 21 points, 10 rebounds, 8 assists, 2 blocks, and a steal. Supporting him: Tim Grey with a big 15 points, 11 rebounds, 2 blocks and a steal of his own.

Long Beach State upset Hawaii 70-68, but otherwise it's all chalk, which means UC-Santa Barbara and Virgil Hudgins again.

And then a beautiful thing happens. Virgil Hudgins gets in foul trouble and goes 2-11 besides, and we're going to the Big West title game!!!!!. 70-60 win anchored by Major Ramirez's PotG 16 point, 12 rebound, and a steal effort, Eutropio Rey's 19 points, block, and steal, and Jeromy Harrington's 12 points.

Long Beach State shocked UC-Riverside 65-54 and we have a very, very real shot at finally getting to the Big Dance. But it won't be easy. The Beach plays nasty, tough defense, and they've already beaten us once this season. And in the series split, both games were single-digit decisions.

But then Jeromy Harrington got pissed off.

We've gone 2-1 in them. We've also clinched 11-7 in Big West play, which is what we had in 2017 and 2019, our two best seasons to date. I believe third place is sewn up with the tiebreaker edge over Hawaii and no shot at taking UC-Santa Barbara for second due to the same reasons. UC-Riverside has already clinched the championship of course. Eutropio Rey scores 16 in our blowout of CSU-Fullerton, with Major Ramirez and Jeromy Harrington each scoring 10 - Harrington had 2 steals, too. And then LOL. Ned Fraser is out 26 days and Robert Serra is day-to-day. I continue to be completely FUCKED by the injury bug whenever we're going well. Anyway, we've posted a guaranteed winning record for two straight seasons, another universe history first. Big West Conference Tournament We're the 3 seed against UC-Davis with a slew of injuries. Robert Serra still isn't back to full health, and Paul Mattson is only back to DTD. The Aggies are pounding our asses but we fight back to get into the game, going ahead with just under 4 minutes to play. They take the lead and then we get it back. 10 seconds left. Major Ramirez fouls out. Aggies hit 1 of 2 and it's tied 67-all. Brian Klingensmith, the true freshman big I wanted to redshirt drives. He goes up for the shot at the left baseline with 1 second left and is fouled. Misses the first. Hits the second! And we advance to the second round of the Big West tournament for only the second or maybe third time in universe school history. It's Klingensmith's only point of the game. But it was Eutropio Rey who carried the team on his back. 21 points, 10 rebounds, 8 assists, 2 blocks, and a steal. Supporting him: Tim Grey with a big 15 points, 11 rebounds, 2 blocks and a steal of his own. Long Beach State upset Hawaii 70-68, but otherwise it's all chalk, which means UC-Santa Barbara and Virgil Hudgins again. And then a beautiful thing happens. Virgil Hudgins gets in foul trouble and goes 2-11 besides, and we're going to the Big West title game!!!!!. 70-60 win anchored by Major Ramirez's PotG 16 point, 12 rebound, and a steal effort, Eutropio Rey's 19 points, block, and steal, and Jeromy Harrington's 12 points. Long Beach State shocked UC-Riverside 65-54 and we have a very, very real shot at finally getting to the Big Dance. But it won't be easy. The Beach plays nasty, tough defense, and they've already beaten us once this season. And in the series split, both games were single-digit decisions. But then Jeromy Harrington got pissed off.
