UC Davis Fell Short in Game 1

UC Davis faced off against Washington in the first game of the season and they didn’t look awful, but they ended up losing. At halftime, UC Davis was down by two points, and in the second half they couldn’t make enough stops, and they ended up losing 79-73. UC Davis shot only 22.2 percent from deep and if they could have just made a few more shots from deep, they could have maybe come away on top. 

Guard Ty Johnson was the star of the show for UC Davis putting up 35 points, three rebounds, and one assist. Leo DBruhl and Isaiah Chappell both scored ten points. In this game, UC Davis needs to hit a few more shots from deep earlier. UC Davis will take on Stanford, Grand Canyon, Norfolk State, Oregon State, and Cal Poly after this one.

Idaho Dominated First Game

Idaho in the first game faced off against a non-D1 team in Northwest University and they were able to secure the 94-60 victory. At halftime, they were up 46-34 and in the second half, the defense gave up only 26 points on the way to the win. 

The top player for Idaho actually came off the bench in Isaiah Brickner who finished with 20 points, eight rebounds, and one assist in only 14 minutes of gameplay. Titus Yearout also put up 10 points and 11 rebounds. In this game, if Idaho wants to find success they are going to need a balanced attack from all over the court again. 

UC Davis vs Idaho Prediction

I actually believe Idaho can keep this game close, and I won’t be shocked if they are able to secure the win here. UC Davis kept the first game competitive but if it wasn’t for Ty Johnson that putting up 35 points, it might have looked like a blowout. Idaho used a balanced attack in the first game and that balanced attack will be what keeps them in this game. Back Idaho against the spread.
