I'm calling Fullerton as the class of the Big West again this season, and early results seem to verify that. My guess is we end up around .500.
Our entire starting lineup gets shut down against
UC-Santa Barbara and we go
12 minutes without scoring in the second half, but eke out the 67-64 win as
Kevin McKenzie scores 14 with a block and
Jeromy Harrington puts up 11 with 2 steals. But it's
Austin Soukop's 10 points, 5 rebounds, and a steal that wins PotG. Weird win but we'll take it.
17-4-4 and a steal by
Kevin McKenzie wins him a PotG award as we handle
UC-Riverside pretty easily. 16 points, 12 rebounds, and a steal should have given
Tim Grey the nod, though.
Bogdan Gonchar scores 12 with 5 boards and a block, and the
Butterfly Man equals him in scoring.
It's been a surprising 3-1 conference start so I'm not all surprised when
Cal Poly waxes us and our offense dies down the stretch in a loss to
Long Beach State. We sputter out against
Pacific, too, suffering a humiliating defeat.
Tim Grey goes down against
Hawaii and is out 2 weeks, leading to
Austin Soukop in the lineup and a blowout loss to
UC-Irvine to finish the first half.
We're now in the danger zone of missing the Big West conference tournament as three teams sit at the bottom at 3-6.
Bogdan Gonchar scores 15 with 4 rebounds, 6 assists, and a steal to win PotG in a critical victory over the
Gauchos, with 13 and 5 by
Kevin McKenzie off the bench, and 10 points, 9 rebounds for
Austin Soukop to just miss the double-double.
Bogdan Gonchar has his most complete game with 21 points, 9 rebounds, and 4 steals as we maul the
Mustangs at their place. 13/9/1 block for
Tim Grey in his return to the lineup and
Butterfly Man adds 13 with a block and steal.
UC-Riverside reminds us we suck,
Pacific pummels us by 20, and
we don't score in the last 3 minutes to piss away the lead against
Long Beach State.
UC-Irvine ends our faint .500 homes and I'm reminded that on the Good Year/Bad Year cycle, we were due for a bad year. Said as I watch
Hawaii own OT and we lose another game we should have won.
It's the first year since 2015 we won't sniff 10 wins and it's our worst record since the very first season, when we were 7-23 (5-13). We match the wins and conference record. Yeah, I'm so getting fired.
Consequently I skip the postseason entirely.

The Butterfly Man finishes #3 in school history in points, #6 in assists, and #7 in steals. Oh, and tied for 7th in blocks. Solid career, but he's forever going to be tagged as the guy who couldn't carry the offense in his final season and led us to a horrible finish.
No worries for him, though. He's gotten a job with Proctor Gamble, working in their marketing department as a copywriter for the Francophone market and doing translation work. The Butterfly in the Machine for sure.

Our highest ranked class by FAR. Oh and one of our scrub centers finally got angry enough to transfer. Cool. I don't care. Be pretty funny if I got fired after I landed our best recruiting class ever. The AD is unhappy enough to do it.
For the first time, no conference movement.
I survive and hire
Jason Dillman, a 44 year old assistant who is 68/16 Offense/Defense and represents an upgrade in both categories over my old assistant. Dillman's a long-time assistant at
Houston Baptist before he resigned to look for more money. Had one year at
St. Louis, got fired. One year at
William & Mary, and the whole staff got canned. No team he's been an assistant for has ever made a postseason.
We have a transfer spot open but everyone is butt, so we pass on it.
