Hey Pokes,
I put together a preview of Tuesday's game.
As my preview focuses on UCSB's opponent, and because I am long winded, I'll have a separate post about UCSB's team for you. It looks like tables lose their formatting when pasted here so if you want to see that information, check out the UCSB board: https://www.tapatalk.com/groups/ucsbgau ... 22570.html


Game 1
UCSB @ Wyoming Preview
Tuesday, November 6, 2018, 6pm PST


Overview:
The Gauchos travel to Laramie to take on the Cowboys of the Mountain West Conference in the season opener for both teams. In this battle of North vs. South, Cowboy version, it should provide for a competitive game as both teams lose a lot from last year but return their leading scorers while adding some talented newcomers.

Wyoming last year:
Best win: Nevada
Worst Loss: Colorado State

Wyoming-UCSB History
UCSB All-time record vs. Cowboys: 2-4
Last game (2012): Wyoming 68-40, in Laramie

The Arena: Arguably the worst named arena in the country bested only be an even worse nick-name, the “Auditorium-Arena”, nicknamed “AA”, seats 15,028 and is the highest altitude arena in the country at 7,220 feet. The Cowboys averaged a bit over 5,000 attendance per game last year at home.

Head Coach: Third year coach Allen Edwards is the first in Wyoming history to win at least 20 games in his first two seasons. Like Coach Pasternack, Edwards had a terrific first season (2016-17), winning 23 games, setting the school record for offense and winning the CBI. He was an assistant at Wyoming for five years prior to elevating to the HC job. He’s also had assistant jobs at W. Kentucky, VCU & Morehead St. As a player, he won two National Championships at Kentucky (1995—1998)
Roster
The Cowboys bring back their leading scorer in senior and first team MWC Justin James, a 6’7” wing who averaged 19 ppg, 6 boards and three assists. He flirted with the NBA draft before deciding to remain for his final season. They have two players that were injured last year that should have major roles this year in senior PF Jordan Naughton who was a starter his sophomore year and incoming RS freshman Hunter Thompson who had an injured ankle. Wyoming graduated 7 players including another first team player and the conference defensive POY from last year’s team so like UCSB, they have significant production to replace and lots of new pieces to integrate. Coach Edwards will likely still be experimenting with his lineup coming into this game.
Post exhibition, a Wyoming fan posted this breakdown of the player’s performance:
viewtopic.php?f=4&t=18172

My breakdown:
Possible Starters
Guard Nyaires Redding #3 6’2” 166 lbs, Senior. The only other returning player besides Maldonado and James to play significant minutes, the slight guard averaged 3.7 ppg and 1.3 apg. He played limited minutes at Washington State for two years before transferring. Played 39 minutes in the exhibition, 8-12 from the FT line, just 2-9 from the field.
Guard Hunter Maldonado #24 6’7”, 185 lb, Sophomore, The only other returning starter (19 games) for the Cowboys, he averaged 5.3 ppg and 2 boards. Team captain. Led the team in points & rebounds in their opening exhibition in which he played 37 minutes
Wing Justin James #1 6’7”, 180 lb, Senior #1 See above. Will be the focus for the Gaucho defense. Sat out the exhibition.
Forward Hunter Thompson #10 6’10”, 225 lb, RS Freshman Listed as an impact newcomer by The MW Wire, Thompson was listed as a 4* and top 100 recruit by ESPN. He apparently had an ankle injury which is why he sat out last season. 8 points, 3 boards and fouled out in the exhibition. Will be a good battle between he and the Gaucho newcomers in the post.
Forward Jordan Naughton #33 6’10”, 225 lb, Senior. Due to injuries, Naughton only played 9 games last year. As a sophomore he started 26 games, averaging 4.4 ppg and 2.8 boards. Played just 8 minutes in the exhibition but was 5-5 from the field for 10 points

Possible Key Reserves:
Guard Jake Hendricks #0 6’5”, 180 lb. JC Transfer Junior Another College of S. Idaho guy, lights out shooter. Set CSI record for 3 pointers made. Nursing an injured wrist so questionable if he’ll play.
Point Guard AJ Banks #2 6’2”, 163 lb. JC Transfer Junior Good athlete and probable back up PG DNP in the exhibition.
Forward Trace Young #11 6’9”, 210 lb Freshman ESPN 3* Potential to start. Point-forward skills. DNP in the exhibition. But coach indicates he could be a RS candidate.
Guard Tariq Johnson #5 6’5”, 206 lb. Freshman Was able to draws fouls in the exhibition where he was 6-6 from the line.
Forward Lwal Dung #34 6’7”, 180 lb Freshman The unfortunately named Australian is a good 3 point shooter and rebounds well for his build. Defensive stopper. Played just 6 min in the exhibition.
Forward Brandon Porter #22 6’8”, 190 lb Freshman Averaged 23ppg and 9 boards at his prep academy. 3-5 from the field for 10 points and 3 steals in the exhibition.
Wing TJ Taylor #13 6’6”, 197 lb Freshman ESPN 3*, Floor spacer. Active and athletic
Forward Austin Mueller #14 6’6”, 210lb Sophomore Workhorse role player. Played 35 minutes in the exhibition.

Match-up & prediction:
This will be one of the more intriguing openers for UCSB in that they face a team that they will have a lot in common with. Both squads have significant turnover from the previous season but return their leading scorers and both have fairly new coaches. However, UCSB may not have their returning scoring leader, Max Heidegger, who, at best, will not be at full speed after missing much of the preseason workouts with injuries. On the plus side for the Gauchos, three of their transfers have significant D1 experience so they may have more composure compared to the Cowboy newcomers. Both teams had no trouble scoring last year but struggled on the defensive side, especially Wyoming which gave up 79 ppg. In preseason interviews with Coach P, defense is receiving a greater focus for UCSB now that they have the athletes to utilize the strategies he wishes to employ. They will face a significant challenge right out of the gate in the offensive minded Cowboys. Wyoming did not look good in their exhibition but, it was without their best player and it was an exhibition where sloppiness and a lack of execution is to be expected. Coach Edwards after the exhibition: "This was an opportunity for me to solidify some thoughts and answer some questions about some guys who I still need to make decisions on whether they can help us this year or whether we will consider redshirting them," Edwards said. "There was a method within what we did tonight. I wanted some of our young guys to have to go through this tonight and understand the kind of competition that is coming their way.” IOTW, Wyoming wasn’t playing to win so that result means less.

Keys to the game for the Gauchos:
· First & foremost, limit James. Not sure who will get this assignment yet but we’ll need Davis/CT/Toure to hound him.
· Ramsey wins the PG battle vs. Redding who had 12 ft attempts in the exhibition.
· Idehen and Sow get boards. The Cowboy front court is relatively young outside of Naughton and were out rebounded by 11 in their exhibition. See if UCSB can do the same.
· Find scoring from other players while not at their Mac-Max Talking to you Mr. Davis!

Prediction: It will likely be ugly at first, for both teams but the Cowboys do have an advantage of having a public exhibition under their belts. Its tempting to look at the mediocre performance for a D2 school and dismiss the Cowboys but clearly their coach was not playing just to win. Both teams will be working to integrate new pieces and neither team will likely be executing efficiently or be scoring at their normal production. UCSB, without Max at 100% or McLaughlin, plus with Wyoming being a very difficult place to play, probably struggles more. Wyoming 77 UCSB 73

Yep, my prediction was of a spitball variety at this point. Result could be a double-digit win for either team but I suspect it will be close.
I had forgotten to add the overview of UCSB:

Year two of the Joe Pasternack era at UCSB will have a very different flavor than the first. It was a record setting beginning for the coach as he took a 6 win team all the way to a 23 win season, tying the school record for victories and the Big West Conference record for turnaround. Helping the new coach achieve this success was a very experienced roster with three returning starters and two grad transfers that became starters. Unfortunately, the bulk of that roster has graduated and to repeat the success, he will have to do it with mostly new players. Good thing for UCSB, Pasternack and his staff have worked extremely hard to bring in a very talented mix of freshmen and transfers. And the one returning starter he does have is a great one, leading scorer and First Team All Big West guard Max Heidegger.
Preaseaon prognosticators have not been sure what to make of the Gauchos, they lost so much but the talent coming in is the best in the conference. They have been picked to finish anywhere from 6th to first. Noone really knows of course, success could come right off the bat, sometime before conference play, in time for the Big West Tournament, or next year. A fairly soft out of conference schedule this year may translate into some ugly wins as opposed to losses piling up while the new pieces work to come together. Expect the pace of play to rise and the defensive pressure to extend with the greater depth & athleticism. What may not be there is the smart decision making & execution that comes from a team that has played together a long time. Time to meet the 2018-19 Gaucho players. I’ve listed my predicted starters (eventual, not necessarily on opening day) first followed by the players I predict will play most off the bench.

Eventual Starters
Devearl Ramsey: PG, RS Sophomore. 6’0”, 185lb, #4 A very athletic and exciting point guard, Ramsey is eligible this year after the requisite red shirt season after transferring from Nevada. A highly recruited 3-4* player out of high school, his defense should help UCSB shore up it’s Achilles heel from last year, guarding quick point guards. A vocal leader, he has been named team captain.

Max Heidegger: Guard, Junior. 6‘3”, 180lb, #21 The most familiar face on the roster, Max had one of the biggest leaps in improvement in Gaucho hoops history from his freshman year to his sophomore. An amazing talent, he is a terrific three pointer shooter with NBA range, setting the school record for threes, and can drive & finish. A very capable ball handler, he can run the point but will play the off-guard position most of the time. Don’t be surprised if his production decreases slightly this season due to the depth of backcourt talent UCSB has this season versus last. He has dealt with some minor injuries this summer so may be a little rusty and play reduced minutes at the start of the season. His stamina may not be there against Wyoming in high altitude Laramie.

JaQuori McLaughlin Guard, RS Sophomore 6’4, 190lb, #3 Another transfer, McLaughlin comes to UCSB from Oregon State where he set the freshman record for three pointers made. Eligible anytime from now (as was recently rumored on the UCSB message board), December or possibly January—no exact date has been issued by the school—J-Mac can play either guard position but may start out on the wing given the depth at guard. He is an excellent shooter and will do his best to fill the shoes of one of the Gaucho greats in Gabe Vincent.

Ar’Mond Davis, Wing, Grad Transfer. 6‘6”, 190lb. #1 A third transfer that will likely start for the Gauchos, Davis sat out last year with an injury after playing the 6th man role at Alabama his junior year. Prior, he excelled at the College of Southern Idaho, earning a top 5 ranking at the JC level. He is athletic and loves to score. The Gauchos will need him to crash the boards and defend bigger players too given the smaller line up.

Amadou Sow, Forward, Freshman, 6’9”, 235lb. #12 One of the more highly rated recruits in Gaucho history, Sow turned down the likes of Cal, Illinois and Wichita State to come to UCSB. The athletic freshman has range to outside the arc but will need to be a force in the paint too as the Gauchos will likely go small with him as the sole big in the starting lineup.

Top Reserves
Christian Terrell, Wing, Junior, 6’5”, 200lb. #23 “CT” is one of the best athletes on the team with great hops. He has supposedly improved his shooting which was the weakest part of his game his first two seasons. If he in fact now has a reliable shot, he’ll play significant minutes for the Gauchos, even with the greater depth at the guard/wing positions.

Robinson Idehen, F/C, Sophomore, 6’10”, 230lb, #35 A JC transfer, Idehen is expected to be a rebounding and defensive force in the paint.

Ami Lakoju, Center, Senior, 6’9”, 260lb, #35 Ami dealt with a fracture over the summer but should be recovered and ready for the season, if not a bit rusty. A physical presence, Ami has been prone to foul trouble over his career. When he stays out of foul trouble, he has been able to make some contributions on offense and can clear the paint for boards with his big body. Someone I’ve always hoped could do more, we’ll see if can elevate in his last season as a Gaucho.

Battling for Roles (Not necessarily in order)
Sekou Toure, Guard, Freshman, 6’5”, 185lb #0 Lightly recruited, Toure made great strides his senior year at Prolific Prep where Sow also attended, averaging 16ppg and 8 boards and UCSB may have got a steal in Toure. What impresses most though is his defense which alone may earn him PT right off the bat.

Jarriese Blackmon, Forward, Senior, 6’7”, 220lb, #2. Blackmon’s high energy and athleticism have been what has earned him minutes on the floor. Greater depth may make minutes harder to come by.

Zach Moore, Guard, RS Junior. 6’5”, 210lb. #34 A starter at Seattle before transferring to UCSB, Moore averaged about 11ppg and made 74 threes his sophomore year. Provides another outside threat.

Jay Nagle, Wing, Freshman. 6’8”, 205lb, #5 The son of basketball coach, Nagle was the first HS recruit signed by Pasternack and has grown 2 inches since he signed. A terrific outside shooter, he performed surprisingly well over the summer practices. Once thought a possible redshirt candidate, it appears that he’ll have role on this year’s team.

b]Limited Roles[/b]
Senior Forward Maxwell Kupchak and walk-ons Andrew Pickles & Mobeen Hirbod will not likely see meaningful minutes.

Probable starters for the season opener:
PG Ramsey
G Heidegger
W Terrell*
W Davis
F Sow

*If McLaughlin is eligible, he will likely start instead of Terrell.

If Heidegger is not physically ready just yet, and McLaughlin is not available, Coach Pasternack may want to go big:
PG Ramsey
G Terrell
W Davis
F Sow
C Lakoju

About UCSB
Hoops history. UCSB has been an above-average mid-major the past 25 years but has not been able to break through with a type of season that would garner national attention. Its hey-day was in the late 80s/early 90s when the Big West conference rivaled the then Pac 10 for hoops superiority in the West, similar to where the MWC has been. At that time, UNLV was a power and UCSB had a couple major upsets of the Rebels when they were ranked in the top 5 of the country. The Gauchos were the last team to beat UNLV before the Rebels went on to win the National Championship in 1990. Those Rebels would not lose again until to Duke in the Final Four the following year. Also in 1990, the Gauchos won their only NCAA tournament game ever, defeating Houston in the first found before losing to top seed Michigan State by 3. During this time the crowds were among the best in the country and the Campus Events Center earned the nick-name of “The Thunderdome.” Sadly, present-day crowds make a mockery of that name. Under previous coach Bob Williams who led the program for 19 years, the Gauchos got to the NCAA tournament three times and the NIT twice, never winning a game. Our most famous basketball alum is Brian Shaw who won three NBA championships with the Lakers in the early 2000s and is back with the Lakers as Associate HC.

Gauchos in the NBA
James Nunnally, 2012, a reserve forward for the Minnesota Timberwolves
Alan Williams, 2015, school’s all-time rebounding leader, under the new 40-10 contract with the Brooklyn Nets and formerly with the Phoenix Suns. In the G League opener last night he had 27 points and 21 rebounds so odds are good he'll be called up soon.

The School: Once more known as a party school (and it certainly was when I was there way back when!), it has grown to become one of the best universities in the country, consistently in the top 40 of the US News ratings. You’ll be hard pressed to find a more beautiful campus location, surrounded on two sides by the Pacific Ocean and the Santa Ynez mountains behind. It is more sedate now but still has the surf and bikinis in January. Although in a bit of a lull right now, the soccer team has had a lot of success, winning the National Championship in 2006 and created a fantastic following as the school led the country in attendance for more than 10 consecutive years. The school responded by investing into their stadium and UCSB will be hosting the College Cup (Final 4) for the second time this December.

Wyoming catches a break; Gauchos will be without their leading returner, All Big West Max Heidegger (our version of your James) who is still recovering from some injuries.
