24-4 and #35 in Ken Pom.

Pretty remarkable for a team transitioning from D2 with no tradition, rigorous UC academic standards, no faculty support, small gym, no dedicated practice facility, not in a hotbed of high school hoops…

I'd still rather be in a California conference with UCSD, UCI, UCR, UCSB, UCD, Cal Poly SLO, and Stanford than in the ACC.

It is conference advantages. Most kids going to those schools are not going pro. Ucsd is the most selective and thus gains an advantage over there rivals. Well coached and senior heavy. Go tritons!!
