On Monday we take on Cal Poly SLO in what has become a long running series. Last year we annihilated them 86-32 in a game in which Bosgana, Harriel, and Ogden all scored in double digits and Cam and Kiki each played less than 16 minutes. You can view the thread here:

As I noted last year, the SLO campus is perhaps the only college campus in the nation that is actually larger than the Stanford campus.
As far as their basketball team, though, SLO is off to a 3-2 start with the best win perhaps being at Montana and the worst loss being a 90-35 beat down at USC, a game in which Juju was inexplicably left in for 29 minutes. Massey has them at 190 (Davis is 180), for whatever that is worth. They are no doubt better than Morgan State.
SLO is led by Palo Alto native 5'3" pg Annika Shah, a 42% three point shooter who is averaging 16 ppg. Always fun to see her come back and play in front of family and friends. They also have a 6'3" forward who starts, giving them some height, but 3 of the 5 who started against us a year ago are gone. All in all, SLO is a good three point shooting team, so our guards will get some practice patrolling the perimeter on defense. Beyond that, I have no color commentary beyond what I noted in last year's thread.
