| Good one going in Anaheim. Riverside leading top seed Davis 47-42 early in the second. I've got it on primeticket here. Highlanders turning it into a 3-point shootout in the second and doing a good job breaking up davis' backdoor passes.

Riverside hangs on, 71-67!
Davis almost came back from a double-digit deficit after ricerside's leafing scorers both fouled out, going on a 10-0 run near the end to pull within one with less than a minute. Aggies had a few chances, but a blown donaghe layup after a steal, then were unable to pull down a rebound after a good defensive posession with less than 20 seconds remaining.

UCSB had to start play on Wednesday (oh my I hope they get it together earlier next year). We did great in the first two games & then ran out of gas or perhaps I should say got the turnover bug against Davis. The last time UCSB was not in the championship game was 1996. I'm glad Riverside won. I am not a fan of Davis. Good, exciting championship game. Go Highlanders! Our men are playing for the championship right now. Go Gauchos!
It's wait til next year for the women. We should be very good, but you never know.

The unusual parity in the Big West this season — plus the fact that I traveled to an equal number of Pacific, UC Davis, and Cal Poly home games rather than focusing on just one of those teams — made this a remarkably good year for covering that league.
At the tournament, I was never been so proud of the Big West collectively. Every team showed up, the right teams won the games, each press conference was honest and revealing.
Haven't had a minute to write about the championship game yet. After the UCR press conference, it was straight to the airport — wish I'd known the Davis kids were flying home at the same time; I would've hopped on their bus — then right to bed.
I haven't had a cup of coffee since Monday. I think I'll go to the coffee shop and write about the last 15 seconds of the final, now that I've had 16 hours to think about it.
