Both teams have had their fair share of ups and downs this season, but the Golden Bears have been on a winning streak lately and will look to continue their momentum against the Tritons.

In their previous three games, Larson has showcased his skills with 0 points, 4 rebounds, 1 block, and 1 steal in just 10 minutes of play. While his scoring may not be impressive, his defensive presence and ability to disrupt plays have made a significant impact on the team.

His ability to knock down shots from beyond the arc with a three-point percentage of 41.2% has been crucial for the team's offensive success.


Fardaws Aimaq, a forward for the Golden Bears, has also been a force to be reckoned with. In their previous three games, Aimaq has averaged an impressive double-double with 24 points and 16 rebounds per game. His dominance on the boards and scoring ability make him a key player to watch out for in this upcoming matchup.


On the other side of the court, the UC San Diego Tritons will rely on Hayden Gray, a guard known for his scoring ability. Gray has averaged 15 points per game in their previous three matchups, showcasing his ability to create scoring opportunities for himself and his teammates.


In terms of team performance, the Golden Bears have shown a strong defensive presence, holding their opponents to low shooting percentages. They have also been efficient on offense, with multiple players contributing to their scoring efforts.


As the game approaches, it will be interesting to see how these top performers continue to excel and impact the outcome of the game. The Golden Bears will look to extend their winning streak and maintain their strong defensive presence, while the Tritons will aim to disrupt their momentum with their offensive firepower.
