UCSB Dominates Cal Lutheran in Historic Rout
The Gauchos 56-Point Margin of Victory is the Largest in Program History
Coming off a loss at North Dakota State, the UCSB men’s basketball team was eager to right the ship in its home opener Tuesday night at the Thunderdome.
The Gauchos took out their frustration on Division 3 Cal Lutheran as they steamrolled to an 88-32 win. The 56-point margin of victory was the largest in program history. The previous school record was a 55-point victory over Cal Poly Pomona in 1971.
“My whole focus was to prepare our team to give incredible effort defensively on every possession and the rest will take care of itself and I think we did that,” said UCSB coach Joe Pasternack.
