Time to begin taking this UCI seriously and perhaps considering the Anteaters as the team to beat in the Big West (especially with UCSB stumbling out of the gate). Russell Turner’s guys have been on the march since losing the opener at revenge-minded Oregon, impressively winning five in a row. Rare in this day of quick fixes from the portal, Turner has simply promoted from within the program, as multi-year backup Gs Justin Hohn and Andre Henry (both 12 ppg) have both seamlessly adapted to new roles in the starting lineup, while Turkish import from Derin Saran is looking like a coup from the latest recruiting class, scoring in double digits the past three games.
