Will Davis' Anteaters picked to win again

From the Big West Conference media release:
"...Coach Russell Turner’s Anteaters received 20 of a possible 26 first-place votes for 221 points. Last year, UCI finished 13-3 in Big West play to secure the program’s third regular season title, and the second outright, with the 23 total victories tying for second-most in history. Returning players include Luke Nelson, the 2013-14 Big West Freshman of the Year, who averaged a team-best 11.8 points per game and knocked down 74 three-pointers. Sophomore 7-6 center Mamadou Ndiaye earned the Big West Defensive Player of the Year award after setting a school and conference single-season record with 106 blocked shots last season. The Anteaters also will rely upon a pair of upperclassmen in senior Will Davis II and junior Alex Young. Davis II is UCI’s career leader in blocked shots with 174, while Young’s 305 assists rank No. 7 in school history..."
