MBB: UC Davis (2-0) at Portland (2-0), Sunday Nov. 9, 2 pm Definitely a Les-coached team, tough defense, disciplined, and they play hard. Cooper was in street clothes, goofing around with the guys during warmups. I really wanted to see him play. They live and die by the three, though, not really my style.
Les was all over Marcus, and I looked at my son (same age) and asked if he could handle that. He said no, it was rough to watch. I get it, D1 ball is intense, but it still caught me off guard. Maybe I’m just more sensitive since my son’s that age too. Later, Marcus sat on the bench with his head down, wiping tears for a while. Honestly, that didn’t sit right with me.
This team’s got talent and depth. They were the better team yesterday, just couldn’t hit shots.
