Bold Week is a reality check for UCSB as they fall to 0-2 in Big West
DAVIS, Calif. - The Gauchos were outscored 15-7 over the last 5:08 and lost 71-60 at Big West opponent UC Davis.
UCSB shot under 40 percent for the game and they were outrebounded by the Aggies.
Ty Johnson scored a game-high 23 points for the Aggies who improved to 2-0 in league.
Kenny Pohto led the Gauchos with 16 points with 9 rebounds but the Gauchos dropped to 0-2 in league.
Designated as 'Bold Week' the Big West started league season several weeks earlier than usual and UCSB was not ready for the step-up in competition.
The Gauchos(6-3) feasted on cupcakes leading up to league play but it is clear they were not eating right.
Big West play resumes in early January.
