Cal Poly is banged up coming into tonight's game, but UC Davis may have responded with two fresh injuries. As reported in today's newspaper, the Aggies could be without the services of Kyle Brucculeri (ankle) and Shane Hanson (shoulder) tonight in a must-win against the reeling Mustangs. Both will attempt to play, but neither would be at 100 percent. Poly will be without three of its top four guards in the game, which means this game may have an entirely different feel to the last one. In the previous meeting, the Mustangs' backcourt speed was too much, as dribble penetration shredded UCD's defense. Poly's front line is still big, athletic and dangerous, but the short-staffing at guard could change the way this one plays out. The Aggies will have most of their primary ballhandlers.
Elsewhere in the Big West tonight, Northridge travels to Long Beach, Irvine is in Riverside and Pacific hosts Santa Barbara. For tiebreaker reasons, Aggie fans should be rooting hard for the Anteaters, who have struggled on the road (3-9) this season.
