A dynamic offense led by Ajay Mitchell, Josh Pierre-Louis, and Miles Norris lifted the UCSB men’s basketball team to a 84-74 victory over UC Davis on Saturday night.
The Gauchos shot 61.1 percent from the floor for the game and never allowed the visiting Aggies to take control, despite 30 points from the Big West Conference leading scorer Elijah Pepper.
"Anytime you get 18 assists, you're really sharing the ball," Coach Pasternack said. "We shot 61 percent; basketball is a game of percentages, and the team with the best percentages wins. I thought our second-half defense was great as we held them to just 40 percent. These factors are ultimately why we won the game."
