Williams Continues To Hit New Heights Bob Williams is wrapping up his fifth year at the helm of UCSB basketball. Those five seasons have included the turnaround and establishment of an outstanding program. Prior to Williams arrival, the Gauchos had recorded five consecutive losing seasons. In , the year immediately preceding his arrival, UCSB was 7-19 overall and a dismal 4-12 in league play. They closed that season with eight straight losses. In , Williams first year at UCSB, the Gauchos opened the season with eight more losses, extending the school-record losing streak to 16 games. Since then, however, the turnaround has been quite dramatic. Santa Barbara has gone since that initial streak and in three of his five seasons, Williams Gauchos have earned some type of title. In 1999, UCSB won the Big West s Western Division Championship, last year the Gauchos won their first-ever Big West Tournament Championship and this year they won the league s regular season crown. Finally, the 80 wins is the most ever by a UCSB coach in his first five seasons. League Win Total Is Highest Ever By Gauchos The Gauchos Big West victory total of 14 games was the most ever. Previously, the most games ever won by a UCSB team in league play was 13. Santa Barbara went 13-5 in league competition in and Previously, the highest winning percentage in Big West play by a Gaucho team was.750, recorded in with a 12-4 record. This year, UCSB s 14-4 was good for a.778 mark. Two-Season Win Total Is The Highest In Ten Years With its overall victory total of 18 games during the regular season, UCSB has now combined to post 38 wins over two seasons, the highest total in several years. The Gauchos went 20-9 and that season was followed-up by a team that recorded an record, giving Santa Barbara a combined total of 38 victories. The 25 combined wins over the last two Big West seasons for the Gauchos is an all-time best for back-to-back years. Gauchos Search For Lost Shooting Touch UCSB hopes to find its lost shooting touch prior to tip-off on Wednesday night. The Gauchos, who are shooting a decent 44.3% for the season, lost their shooting touch somewhere between Santa Barbara and Anaheim, the home of the Big West Tournament. In two games at the league tourney, UCSB made a dismal 31-of-103 shots, 30.1%. In the tournament opener, a win over Pacific, the Gauchos hit a season-low 13-of-50 shots from the field, 26.0%. The 26.0% was the lowest shooting percentage on record in a victory. In Friday s second round loss to Cal Poly, UCSB heated up a bit, making 18-of-53 shots, 34.0%. The back-to-back bad offensive games comes on the heels of one of the Gauchos best offensive stretches of the year. In the four games leading-up to the Big West Tournament, UCSB made 91-of-184 shots from the field, 49.5%. Defending The Gauchos While the offense didn t show up in Anaheim, the defense did. UCSB is now allowing opponents to shoot 40.9% overall and an even more impressive and league-leading 39.8% in Big West games. In six games since allowing Cal Poly and Detroit Mercy to shoot 56.1% and 60.0% in back-to-back games in late February, Santa Barbara has allowed opponents to make just 104-of-297, 35.0%. Five of the last six opponents have shot 37.8% or below. UCSB has held eight of its last 11 opponents below 40.0% shooting. Overall, 17 of UCSB s 31 opponents have shot below the 40.0% barrier, including 11 of 18 Big West opponents. The Gauchos won all 11 league games in which their opponent made fewer than 40.0% of its shots. In the 17 games in which their opponent has shot below the 40.0% mark, the Gauchos have gone The only two opponents that shot under 40.0% and won were Pepperdine and Cal Poly. Finally, Santa Barbara has limited two opponents, San Francisco (29.3%) and UC Irvine (29.8%), to under 30.0%. What s The Point? UCSB is allowing an average of 60.1 points per game overall and 56.1 in 18 Big West games. In the last 17 games, 13 of which were wins, the Gauchos allowed an average of 54.9 points per game. UCSB has held 12 of the last 17 opponents to 60 points or less. Going back a bit further, the Gauchos have limited 26 of the last 28 opponents overall to fewer than 70 points and 16 of those to 60 points or less. Five UCSB opponents have scored fewer than 50 points this season, including Pacific in the first round of the Big West Tournament, which scored 44 points, tying the lowest output by an opponent this season. Free At Last For much of the season, UCSB was shooting below the 70.0% mark from the free throw line. In recent games, however, they have surged. The Gauchos lead the Big West in free throw percentage in conference games at 75.8%. In the last 12 games they have made 193-of-241, 80.1%. UCSB has six regulars shooting 71.2% or better from the free throw line.
