Latest Basketball Rankings for the Big West

After playing a few non-conference games, lets check in on the Massey Rankings for all the Big West teams.  The Massey Rankings is made up of many mathematical formulas as well as the USA Today Coaches Poll and the AP Poll (20 different rankings together averaged out).  Here's how our Big West teams stand:

108. Long Beach State (2-3)
133. Fullerton (3-2)
152. Pacific (3-3)
154. Northridge (6-1)
163. UCSB (2-3)
180. Hawaii (4-1)
188. Cal Poly (2-2)
193. UCI (3-4)
241. UCD (1-2)
316. UCR (1-6)

As a conference, the Big West ranks 16th out of 33 conferences.  This seems about right as UCD and UCR are really the only teams that hurt the rankings (without them the average rankings jump to 158.875, which places them in 12th right behind the Conference USA).  Looking at our future members, that average number will jump significantly, as SDSU is ranked No. 32 and Boise State is ranked No. 85.

Obviously the main thing that will change these numbers are wins and strength of schedule.  A lot of this week's non-conference games are coming from the Pac-12 and the MWC which should help the strength of schedule a lot.  Sorry to say for UCR, that realistically until conference play begins, they will only have two chances to win, both at home versus Northern Colorado (Big Sky) and Whittier College (Div III), and winning those games will only bring them slightly out of the 300's.

Happy Thanksgiving from the Big West Confidential

After a week of indulging ourselves with massive amounts of food with comatose-like symptoms afterwards, we hope to be back to regular posting tonight.  In the meantime, enjoy this moment of Pac-12 schadenfreude as we play you the ESPN recap of last night's Mustang upset over Cal Poly:

Hopefully the trend will continue, as the Bruins play Northridge and future Big West members San Diego State this week, and later next month, LBSU.

Mountain West Rumors that could affect the Big West

According to Brett McMurphy of ESPN yesterday, BYU, San Diego State and Boise State have reportedly been talking with the Mountain West to go back to the conference.  This morning, however on XX1090 Sports Radio out of San Diego, SDSU AD Jim Sterk has been very firm about moving forward to the Big East despite "important" losses of the conference.  There's a press conference being held this afternoon at SDSU that we can follow to keep up on everything, but here's a breakdown on what's happened the past day:

B1G invites Maryland and Rutgers to the B1G.  They accept.  With Rutgers out of the Big East and the ACC going to an odd number, the ACC will most likely pick up UCONN or Louisville as a 14th member.  With numbers dwindling and the new playoff system grouping the Big East into the rest of the Group of Five (CUSA, MWC, Sun Belt, MAC), BYU, Boise State and San Diego State have all reportedly talked with the MWC with returning to the conference.  If this were to happen (very little chance), the Big West would go back down to 10 teams without BSU and SDSU, which from what i've gathered from reactions on twitter, would be fine with the conference.  How this will affect the FS television deal, I'm not sure, but being that SDSU would have 14 games on their own, this means that the deal would probably not change too much.

Once again, THIS IS ALL SPECULATION.  Most likely nothing will change.  So this is probably all panic for nothing.

Update: Sterk's press conference reassures his radio interview this morning, they're still planning to go Big East/West.

The Big West is Going to Have a Pretty Damn Good 2014

Hang on to your seats: the Big West and their affiliated schools are going to be hosting 4 rounds of the NCAA tournament in 2014.   It's been announced today, that San Diego State will be hosting the 2nd/3rd round of the NCAA tournament in the Viejas Arena as well as the Big West Conference itself, who will be hosting the West Region of the Big Dance at the Honda Center in Anaheim.  Honestly, the only thing that could have made this news better is if the Walter Pyramid or the Taco Bell Arena also hosted a round in next year's tourney.  Overall though, this is a pretty damn good way to increase the influence and reputation of the conference.

Here's the dates and sites of the first few rounds of the 2014 NCAA Tournament, remember that Cowboys Stadium will be hosting the Final Four that year:

A friendly challenge to Big Sky Basketball and Mountain West Connection: BRING IT

We have a full month and a half of non-conference in basketball.  Therefore, I thought it would be fun to do a Western blog challenge. I sent out an email to the managers of Big Sky Basketball and Mountain West Connection and they accepted the game.  Introducing, the inaugural BIG MOUNTAIN SKY CHALLENGE (logo/award pending).  Here's the rules:

1. The teams from the Big Sky, Mountain West and Big West Conferences all have many non-conference matches versus each other.  Therefore the blogs will track wins and losses of the conferences as a whole.

2. The conference blog at the end of non-conference play with the best win percentage gets to post on the loser conferences blogs.  This post can be anything "winner's conference" related and is encouraged to be overly boasting.

3.  There will be a weekly post updating the challenge.

HAVE AT IT YOU RAPSCALLION OTHER CONFERENCE BLOGS!



Big West Women's Basketball Preview

Editor's note: Yes, he does realize he's doing a full preview for all ten women's teams (as opposed to doing an individual videocast for each team).  Please understand that the season starts today.  The Blog thanks you for your forgiveness and cooperation and hopes that you continue visiting and making fun of their writing.

Big West Women's Basketball starts today and we'll look at who will be fighting for that magical spot to the Big Dance.  The women's teams can be separated into three main segments by preseason media voters: The Top, The Fighters, The Dark Horses and.  That being said, let's break down the teams:

The Top:
While the Matadors are picked to win the league, Pacific was only two votes behind in the preseason media poll and received five first place votes (Northridge got six).  The third team at The Top is UCSB, who looks to defend their title.  In terms of media votes, there's only eight total points separating them.  Northridge All-Conference Guards, Sophomores Ashlee Guay and Janae Sharpe look to be the stars of a decently experienced Matador team, while Senior Forward Kendall Rodriguez looks to lead Pacific through their farewell tour.  While the Gauchos don't have an All-Conference player on the roster, they'll look to Nicole Nesbit and Sweets Underwood (fantastic name) to lead the team.

The Fighters:
Only two teams fall in this category: Cal Poly and Long Beach State.  The Lady Mustangs lost Ashlee Burns and Kristina Santiago, however they have All-Conference player Kayla Griffin to lead a fairly experienced team.  LBSU on the other hand has 10 returning players, nine of which were newcomers last year.  Alex Sanchez (who was freshman of the year last season) and Mary Ochiltree will be the go-to girls for the 49ers.

The Dark Horses:
Hawaii, UC Davis and UCR are what I consider true dark horses in the conference this season.   Only seven votes separated all of them in the preseason poll, and remember that last season, the No. 5-7 seeds all made the semifinals of the Big West tournament, with the final ending up as No. 6 vs No. 7.  Hawaii has All-Conference Junior Forward Kamilah Martin leading the team while UCR has Senior Guard Tre' Shonti Nottingham to take the veteran role of a young Highlander team.  In the exhibition game versus Redlands, Sydnee Fipps took charge of a team seemingly missing an identity, thus establishing herself as the leader of this team.  I'm also going to throw UCI's name here, because they have the ability to pull off upset or two throughout the season.  Jasmine Bernard will be the player to look out for offensively, as UCI will play more of a defensive game to stop opponents.  Fullerton was ranked last by many points, however while not looking to be contenders this season, they could be spoilers.  Sophomore Kathleen Iwuoha looks to lead the team through a difficult non-conference slate and then a competitive rest of season.

My Preseason Poll:
1. Pacific
2. Northridge
3. Cal Poly
4. UCSB
5. LBSU
6. UCR
7. Hawaii
8. UC Davis
9. UCI
10. Fullerton

Get ready: season starts in one hour!

2012 Week 12 Preview: Women's Volleyball

Hawaii's clinched the Big West title, but these placement fights are to gain leverage in the Commissioner's Cup.  The even bigger story (possibly) is UCI's Kristin Winkler, who've we kept on record tracker, needs 79 more digs for the Big West record, with six more games left to do it.  Also, UCSB's Taylor Formico is on pace to finish the season, second in conference history for a single-season dig record.  With that being said, lets get to the games:

Tonight, Fullerton takes on the 49ers while UCR looks for their first conference win versus UCI and Hawaii hosts a non-conference game against BYU-Hawaii.  Tomorrow, the games continue as Pacific travels to UCSB and UC Davis plays Cal Poly.  Finally, on Saturday, a full slate of conference games line up, as Fullerton plays UCI, Northridge plays LMU in non-conference, Pacific takes on Cal Poly, UC Davis travels to UCSB and UCR goes to LBSU.

2012 Big West Men's Soccer Tournament

The seeds have been set and the Big West Tournament begins today.  Representing the North Division is UC Davis and Cal Poly and representing the South Division is Cal State Northridge and Cal State Fullerton. The matchups are as follows:

WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 7, 2012 2:00 PM
S2. Fullerton vs N1. UC Davis

This matchup that happened one month ago ended in a 2-1 win for UC Davis.  However, Fullerton's Ian Ramos will be the key in this matchup.  The freshman phenom has been outstanding this season, collecting 5 points and 3 assists, averaging 2.3 shots/game.  The Aggies however, have been a much more well rounded team, depending on the conference's top defense and outstanding goalkeeping by Omar Zeenni (who averages under a goal/game).  I'm going to give advantage to the defense here:

My Prediction: Aggies win 1-0

WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 7, 2012 7:00 PM
N2. Cal Poly vs S1. Northridge

These two teams are very evenly matched by looking at the in-conference statistics and it shows by their lone matchup this year (a 1-0 victory for the Matadors).  Northridge's Segi Lev-Ari and Mackenzie Pridam have been goal machines, collecting 12 and 11 goals each respectively.  The goalkeepers (all three of them) have been also instrumental for how well the teans have done.  While Northridge won the earlier match, Cal Poly has more momentum going right now, beating UCSB twice in front of large crowds, thus sealing their playoffs.

My Prediction: Cal Poly 2, Northridge 1 (OT)

SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 10, 2012 1:00 PM
*Cal Poly vs *UC Davis
Considering that two of Davis' three losses came to the Mustangs, I don't see that trend changing...

My Prediction: Cal Poly wins 1-0

Week 11 Preview: Women's Volleyball

With Week 10 in the books and the final month of competition approaching for volleyball, the Big West title looks all but wrapped up for Hawaii.  The Wahine could in theory clinch the title at the end of this weekend if the chips fall right and they win both of their matches this weekend.  That being said, let's get to the games:

On Thursday, Northridge gets a home match against Cal Poly, while UCSB travels to the Islands to play Hawaii.  The Gaucho-Wahine game is important because a win for Hawaii puts the magic number to one for clinching the title.  On Friday, LBSU takes on Pacific, UCR gets a non-conference series in Bakersfield and UCI plays UC Davis.  Kristin Winkler has the counter set to 132 remaining before she gets the Big West digs record.   Finally, on Saturday, Cal Poly travels to Hawaii, where a Wahine win combined with a Gaucho loss, would give them the title.  Also on Saturday, LBSU plays UC Davis, UCI travels to Pacific, UCR goes to Fullerton and UCSB takes on Northridge.

Big West Tournament Preview: Women's Soccer

The seeds are set and playoffs begin tonight for the Big West crown.  Tonight's semifinals take place at Anteater Stadium at UCI beginning at 5:00 PM.

Semifinal No. 1: No. 2 Cal State Northridge vs No. 3 Cal Poly, 5:00 PM
This matchup is an intriguing one: Northridge held their playoff position by knocking out the defending BWC champs LBSU in double overtime, while Cal Poly was conference leader until the final weekend.  History is on the Mustangs side as Cal Poly is 7-0-1 in semifinals all-time while Northridge has never won a semifinals match.  However, Northridge is riding all the momentum off that LBSU win.  Head-to-head this season, the Matadors and the Mustangs drew 2-2, and we can expect more of the same for tonight's matchup.  However, I expect Goalkeeper of the Year, Cynthia Jacobo, in her senior year to lead the Matadors to their first Big West postseason victory.

My Prediction: Northridge 2, Cal Poly 0

Semifinal No. 2: No. 1 Cal State Fullerton vs. No. 4 UCI, 7:30 PM
Who's ready for an upset?  UCI comes in riding a 0-1-3 "safe" record to keep their last seed.  Home-field advantage is a powerful thing though, especially in soccer.   UCI also won the only matchup between these two this season, 3-1 at Fullerton.  Fullerton's Stacey Fox has been averaging 1.00 PPG, however, if she can be shut down like UCI did earlier, the Titans will have big problems beating what seems to be a desperate team that needs just a spark of life.

My Prediction: UCI 1, Fullerton 0

Final: No. 2 Northridge vs No. 4 UCI
My Prediction: Northridge 1, UCI 1 (Northridge wins 4-3 on Penalties)
