@AvgJoe08 @BigTecSD Still proud of the fellas. Made the tourney in first year of eligibility and took Michigan down to the wire. Nothing for us to be ashamed of. Recruits that wouldn’t have thought of UCSD might take a look now. Future is brighter in La Jolla! 🔱

@BigTecSD Definitely showed their inexperience in the big moment

Why wait for the last shot if you are UCSD? You are down three look for a quick score 2 or 3 and foul to extend the game. That’s on the coach #MarchMadness

@alex_westry So proud of my Alma mater. This will be great for recruiting. Future is bright in La Jolla!

What a performance from UC San Diego! 👏

@layne_sonntag @swankywolverine That’s a valid point. We struggled with a single 7-footer at UCI, so I’m concerned about how we’ll handle two. I’m hoping we can trade 3-pointers for 2-pointers, as we’ve done this season, which is our path to victory.

@swankywolverine UC San Diego seems to be the trendy pick and you know how those always work out. Our bigs should be able to body them down low. UCSD has no size on their team

Michigan vs. UCSD by the numbers 👀

@BlueInNC16 @DPHBuckeyes @swankywolverine I appreciate your take. As a UCSD alum I’m pulling for my Tritons, but I’m cognizant of the uphill battle we face. The stars need to align but we’ve got a fighting chance.

@DPHBuckeyes @swankywolverine Michigan should have no problem controlling the paint on both ends of the floor, the concern is turnovers against one of the best turnover forcing teams in the country. Should be fairly easy win, but there’s certainly a path for UCSD

@alex_westry As a primarily academic institution, securing student support for the significant financial investment required to sustain a football team would be difficult, if not impossible.

If UCSD were to have a football team the Big Sky Conference makes sense to join given that there are schools like UC Davis and Northern Arizona who are close to the Tritons from a geographical standpoint.

The question for UCSD is whether there is enough support in San Diego to justify spending the money required to establish a football team with San Diego State in town and we haven’t even gotten to the lack of a viable stadium and football facilities the Tritons would need.

@alex_westry Only a small minority have been discussing football since the ’90s when I was there. Convincing the student body to approve the move to Division II and later to Division I was already challenging, as the fees associated with the moves fall to students.
