Struggling Gauchos Lose Again

Cal State Northridge converted 23 of 37 free throws to maintain a lead despite UC Santa Barbara's rally, marking UCSB's fourth loss in five games.

  • On Saturday, Cal State Northridge beat UC Santa Barbara 74-65, with the Gauchos falling behind by 14 in the first five minutes and dropping to 9-6 overall after four losses in five games.
  • Poor perimeter accuracy and low first-half percentages forced the Gauchos into a deficit as UC Santa Barbara Gauchos shot just 25.8% with starters going 4-of-24 and 6-for-30 from three.
  • Freshman C.J. Shaw rallied UCSB late, scoring 18 of the Gauchos' last 34 points while Josiah Davis made six free throws in the final five minutes to seal CSUN's win.
  • They return home to face UC Davis on Thursday at 6 p.m., and UC Santa Barbara coach Joe Pasternack said 'He's going to practice this week,' after Miro Little missed six games since Dec. 4.
  • Turnovers and foul trouble have repeatedly undermined the Gauchos away from home, with 38 turnovers in two games and a season-high 30 fouls allowing 23-of-37 free throws.
