SLO beats UC San Diego 71-67. I am wondering is SLO that bad or did UCSD play the game of there life |
LAK,
That is unbelievable. To barely defeat UC San Diego on your home floor clearly shows how bad SLO is again this year. UCSD never in history has even finished as high as fourth in the CCAA--and ususally is in the bottom half--and further proves that the bottom feeders of the Big West (ie, SLO and UC Riverside) would be very hard pressed to even be in the middle of the pack in the lowly DII CCAA. Now do you understand why SLO and UCR want no part of the top tier of the league...notably, Pomona and San Bernardino???? Did you notice that San Bern played toe to toe with USC and barely lost???
It also shows that DI is all over the board when it comes to quality. UCI beat another DI team back east by more than 50 points. There are entire DI conferences like the MEAC, Patriot League, and SWAC that are far weaker than the DII CCAA.
BTW, there are ZERO athletic scholarships at UCSD. That means a virtual pick-up team almost beat a fully funded Mustang squad. Get a rope. I would be choking were I coaching at SLO.
