The Daily Collegian • February 14,1992
Davis leads UCSB past FSU
Dan Evans
Sports Writer
It all seems so easy in practice.
In a game Fresno State head coach
Gary Colson thought his squad had a
legitimate chance to win, the Bulldogs
fell victim to their own weakness in a
77-61 thrashing by UC Santa Barbara
before 9,880 "Red Wavers" Thursday
night at Selland Arena.
"This hurts. It hurts to the core,"
Colson said. "This was a really impor¬
tant game for us in the overall picture.
I must be nieve because I really thought
we were going to win."
Wrong. The Bulldogs' third-straight
loss and second of the season at Sel¬
land Arena drops them to 14-10overall
and 5-7 in the Big-West Conference.
The Gauchos are 15-5,8-3.
But the Bulldogs were not victim¬
ized solely by their own lackluster per¬
formance. Lucius Davis helped, too.
The 6-8 senior forward scored 18 of
his 25 points in the first half and added
a team-high 10 rebounds in a masterful
r performance. Davis shot 66% from the
floor (10 of 15) and accounted for eight
of the Gauchos' first 11 points.
Tod Bernard and Wil Hooker scored
15 points apiece for the Bulldogs and
Lee Mayberry added 11.
Idris Jones had 16 points for UCSB
and Ray Kelly contributed eight points
and dished-off 10 assists.
Gauchos' head coach Jerry Pimm said
his plan to move Davis around to dif-
- ierent locations on thceourt was key to
his squad's success.
"What we trying to do was move
lou' around and try to keep (the Bull¬
dogs) from switching up on him,"
Pimm said. "I'm glad it was confusing
because I tried to make it that way."
The majority of Davis' success came
in the first half when he was matched-
upwith the Bulldogs' Tod Bernard.
The second half saw FSU'S Lee May¬
berry and Pat Riddlesprigger quiet the
Big West's second-leading scorer.
"Fresno State is a very good team^
Davis said. "The/ vebeen up and down
this year, but I know, as a player, that
they work very hard. They have a team
full of great athletes. Sometimes, sea¬
sons go like that.'
The Bulldogs self-destruction came
courtesy of a lack of communication,
according to Colson and Bernard. The
Bulldogs commited 16 turnovers and
threw away several key passes.
"One thing I pride my team on is
being good passers," Colson said.
"We've worked hard everyday since
October 15th, but we were put of sync
(against the Gauchos). We had a defen¬
sive lapse with five seconds gone on
the clock. *. f
"We ran a little simple offense for
Wil and we threw it to a lady in the
fourth row."
With the loss, the Bulldogs miss out
pn a chance to redeem themselves from
a 75-55 thrashing at the "Thunder-
dome" in Goleta on Jan. 20th. In that
game, Hooker and Bernard combined
for just seven points.
"I think deep down inside, we know
we're better than them," Hooker said.
Though the Bulldogs shot 60 percent,
in the first half (12 of 20) and trailed 32-
29, their second-half' lapse cost them
the game. They hit on only 11 of 29
shots (37%) after the break and fin¬
ished the game at 46 percent.
The Gauchos, who entered the game
with the stingiest defense in the confer¬
ence (al)owing 643 points per game)
shot 54% for the game and rebounded
strongly froma 80-76 loss to UNLV last
Thursday.
"I don't think this is an easy place to
play or an easy team to beat," Pimm
said. "They're a talented team and I
think they'll get back on the beam. This
team is not through, by any means.
Believe me."
NOTES: Davis' father, Lucius Sr.,
was the all - ti me leading scorer in Fresno
State history before he was surpassed
by Hooker earlier thii season. . .The
loss drops the Bulldogs into seventh
place in the Big WestJ behind idle Cal
State Fullerton.. .ColsWsaid-Llavis is
a strong candidate for Big West Player
of the Year and, though his original
assessment was different, the NBA..
.The Bulldogs will host Long Beach
State Monday nigh t a 19 p.m. The game
will be/the third game of ESPN's "Big
Monday" tripleheader..
