Big West Preview — UC Davis
Coming off a tough season, UC Davis is looking to put up some much better numbers to show everyone that they are not the league doormat that people have come to expect them to be since their move up to Division I basketball.

Big West Preview — UC Santa Barbara
For the first time in what seems like decades, UCSB women’s basketball is a bit of a mystery. After all, it is not every year that a team has to replace a legendary head coach who won 11 of 12 conference regular season titles (and made 10 NCAA appearances in that span to boot). But that is the predicament the Gauchos find themselves in after the departure of Mark French — and it has given the defending Big West champions an air of uncertainty. Think Lindsay Gottlieb is feeling the pressure?
