Matt LaGrassa will presumably be healthy this time when Cal Poly visits UCLA on Thursday. By Owen Main

Despite being knocked-off in the second round of the Big West Tournament last week, Cal Poly (11-4-4) men’s soccer was selected as an at-large bid for the 48-team NCAA Tournament on Monday. The Mustangs, whose RPI has been in the top-30 in the nation for much of the season, will have a chance to avenge a 4-1 regular season loss to the Bruins (10-8-1) on September 18th — over two months prior to their second meeting of the year.

A different story?

Cal Poly has reason to be optimistic despite the earlier loss. The Mustangs played that September game without senior captain Matt LaGrassa and many players, including Justin Dhillon, were nursing injuries. Head coach Steve Sampson, still trying to figure his rotation out at that point, played 19 different players on that day. He’s cut his rotation down significantly since then.

After losing to former schools where Sampson coached in a row (Santa Clara and UCLA), Cal Poly has gone unbeaten in 12 out of 14 games.

You don’t Seyi

If they are going to have a chance, Cal Poly has to focus on containing UCLA striker Seyi Adekoya. Adekoya scored the final two goals of the first matchup for the Bruins. The sophomore was a second-team all-Pac 12 selection as a freshman.

Game time is slated for 7:00pm at UCLA. The winner will advance to play Seattle on Sunday. In their meeting earlier in the season, Cal Poly beat Seattle 1-0 in Spokane, WA.

Joe Callero has had what he described as his best offseason ever. A first-ever trip to the NCAA Tournament will do that for a coach — especially one who has waited as long to get there as Callero has.

Practice for this season has begun, though, and new challenges await. What is Cal Poly’s mindset going into this season? Who will they need to count on, and (maybe most importantly) who is healthy at this early time in the season?

Coach Callero talks Cal Poly basketball in this edition of the Podcast.

I was a peripheral college baseball fan before this season. I enjoyed it, but didn’t try to plug myself into the national scene. I’m also a big believer in East Coast bias in all media — sports media not excepted.

So this season, I think I’ve learned a lot about college baseball, the way it’s covered in general, and the fans. Here are a few things I’ve learned:

California is a good place for college baseball, but the South is insane.

California has a lot of college baseball teams, but people care about college baseball a whole lot more in the South, and the numbers back it up.

At the end of the season, the SEC dominated in attendance, drawing numbers that look like those of a bad Major League Baseball team.

SEC has set a new record with over 2.25 million in paid baseball attendance during the 2014 regular season.

— Chuck Dunlap (@SEC_Chuck) May 18, 2014

Nearly half a million of that total comes from the state of Mississippi alone. LSU 380K. ARK and SC both over 1/4 million each.

— Chuck Dunlap (@SEC_Chuck) May 18, 2014

LSU ended the season in first place in attendance, drawing over 378,00 fans in 35 home games. Ten of the top eleven and 12 of the top 14 total attendance leaders were from the SEC or ACC.

Cal Poly, in the midst of the greatest baseball season the school has ever seen, drew the 41st-most fans in the country. In a city like San Luis Obispo, it’s nothing to scoff at — just over 45,000 fans in 30 games — but let’s not compare it with what happens in the SEC and ACC.

Baggett Stadium is a great place to watch a game. It drew the 41st-most fans in college baseball this year. By Owen Main

San Luis Obispo is the kind of town this can be sustainable in. Maybe.

All that being said, SLO isn’t the typical place to find a university in California. Located in a more rural county, San Luis Obispo probably has more in common with an SEC college town than maybe any other college town in California.

For that reason, I have a little bit of hope that with some continued, sustained success, college baseball in San Luis Obispo could be a lot more popular. There are only 45,000 people in in the city of San Luis Obispo and about 275,000 in the entire county — not exactly a metropolis.

There are also five or six quality beach towns, lots of wine, and about a thousand other things to do than watch baseball. I don’t think sustaining an average of 1,500-2,000 fans per game is an unreasonable goal for the program.

When things like this happen though, during a season like they’re having, one has to wonder….

RT @pistolpete565 : Someone really just asked me if baseball season has started yet! Are you serious?

— fansmanship (@fansmanship) May 20, 2014

What about that East coast bias?

Does the East coast bias exist? I believe it does.

I also believe that, in a lot of ways, it’s justified. If I owned a website that covered college baseball nationally, I would look at the above numbers that reflect Southern fansmanship and skew my coverage waaay in that direction. Add to that the fact that SEC and ACC teams are really good and have great RPI’s and you have a system that promotes the game where the game is the strongest — SEC and ACC country.

UCLA, arguably the most successful West coast school of late, has a stadium that holds 1,820 people. Oregon and Oregon State — two other Pac-12 powers — have facilities that accommodate for 4,000 and 3,248 people respectively. These are big numbers, but they don’t sell-out every game all season and, if they did, they wouldn’t even break the top-10 nationally.

Also, let me make this clear. Guys like Aaron Fitt, John Manuel, Eric Sorenson Kendall Rodgers, and Shotgun Spratling do yeoman’s work. In Major League Baseball there are 30 teams that get covered by countless writers. In college baseball, a small core group cover over 300 Division 1 teams, and it seems like guys like Fitt could name most of the starters on most of the top 100-150 teams in the nation. They do a great job.

In the end, arguing bias doesn’t matter

Fans on the West coast can argue an East coast bias all they want, but in the end, it doesn’t really matter. Teams that are national contenders will host regionals. Teams that are good will make it to Omaha. Six of the past ten national champions have come from a conference on the West Coast. Despite there being far fewer Division 1 schools West of Texas, the schools that have made the College World Series from the West have fared relatively well.

Listen, I’m not here to start a fight. I’ve lived in the South. I’ve seen what SEC football can do to people. I can imagine what happens during football’s offseason. By every measure, college baseball in the South has more eyes on it and is more important to the general population there than anywhere else. On some level, I get the bias in this sport and I am on-board with supporting fan-bases that come out in droves.

On Monday though, neither fans nor the media won’t be the one who selects who gets in the tournament and what regional they go to. That is up to a selection committee that has shown a good deal of thought in recent years when it comes to selecting NCAA Tournament teams. They seem to do a pretty good job of understanding RPI bias.

Cal Poly felt like they got snubbed two years ago. Last season, they showed they belonged in a regional. So, what’s the next step? I guess we’ll find out next week.

To view attendance numbers for all NCAA schools go here, choose Division 1 baseball, and go to “Misc. Reports.”

Wichita State fans are probably asking what a lot of other fans are right at this moment — Who is Cal Poly? Is San Luis Obispo somewhere near Los Angeles? How did a team with 10 regular-season wins get this far?

So, here’s a little guide for those of you who haven’t been watching the Mustangs all year or, for that matter, couldn’t find San Luis Obispo on a map.

Sophomore transfer, David Nwaba, has been Cal Poly’s go-to guy for above-the-rim finishing. By Owen Main

What kind of a school is Cal Poly?

Let’s start with the University itself. Cal Poly is, academically, the best school in the CSU (Cal State) system. It’s really hard to get into — with what are almost certainly the most rigorous academic standards in the Big West Conference. Cal Poly’s engineering program is world-class and the agriculture (viticulture is a fast-growing major) and architecture programs are really, really good. The school motto is “Learn by Doing” and famous alumni include Weird Al, John Madden, and Ozzie Smith. Multiple astronauts have attended Cal Poly and a few recent alumni are exploring new worlds, playing professionally in Israel, Mexico, and Australia.

Joe Callero tells Jim Rome why it’s good to be weird

Unlike most Big West schools, Cal Poly has an FCS football program (one of only four FCS programs in California), which helps its athletic department. Cal Poly is also home to the biggest college soccer rivalry in the country with UCSB.

Much like the football team that runs the triple option, the Cal Poly basketball team plays a low-possession game and really works hard to not turn the ball over. In their three Big West Conference Tournament games, they only turned the ball over 14 times. Total.

Where is San Luis Obispo?

San Luis Obispo (SLO) is halfway between Los Angeles and San Francisco, on California’s Central Coast. You should really come visit sometime. It’s a relatively rural area, but is consistently on lists of best places to visit for vacation and also happiest places to live. Tourism and agriculture are two big businesses in the county. It’s not uncommon to find surfing farmers trading Wranglers for wetsuits at the end of the day. There are over 200 wineries in the county’s interior valleys and small beach towns dot its coast. On Higuera Street in downtown SLO, there is a great Thursday night farmer’s market.

While a lot of Cal Poly alumni live in the Los Angeles and San Francisco Bay area, a big percentage of people in San Luis Obispo County attended Cal Poly. The next Division 1 school is approximately 90 miles South (rival UC Santa Barbara), 130 miles East (Cal State Bakersfield and Fresno State), and 184 miles North (San Jose State).

How did a team with 10 regular-season wins make it this far?

This is what everyone is still asking themselves and why their run is so improbable and fun. The Mustangs have players like David Nwaba and Chris Eversley who can physically match-up with most anyone in the country at their position from a physical standpoint, but that will only get you so far.

The short answer is that everyone got healthy at the right time. Sharpshooters Reese Morgan and Kyle Odister can flat out fill it up, if left open. Eversley, who started at the 2 at one point, is back at the 4. The rotation of sophomores Joel Awich, Brian Bennett, and Zach Gordon have all found their niche roles, too. Because of that, coach Joe Callero has found a rotation he can count on over the past four days. When he needs strong defense he goes to Gordon. For shot-blocking and quick springiness, Awich is his guy. Bennett has had a mature back-to-the-basket game since he stepped on-campus last year.

This is a team that believes in itself and has improved its team culture every season since Joe Callero took over. Eversley and Nwaba are the emotional catalysts and, at the end of the day, you can probably count on them to lead the team in scoring, but you never really know where the rest of the points are coming from, and that makes the team tough to scout and prepare for. If three or four Mustangs are in double figures, usually that means good things for Cal Poly.

Who should Wichita State be worried about?

Eversley has been Cal Poly’s best player for the past two seasons, earning first and second-team all conference honors in 2013 and 2014 respectively, but he is best when he plays off the ball. At his best, he scores off mid-range jumpshots and offensive rebounds. Every other player probably has something they do really well and, looking impartially at it, some major hole in their game. David Nwaba doesn’t shoot from outside 10-15 feet. Brian Bennett, at 6’9″, doesn’t rebound super-consistently. I could go on.

The point is, Cal Poly’s basketball ecosystem is pretty intricate and may be somewhat delicate from a “who does what” standpoint to be successful. It’s one of the reasons, perhaps, that it took them this long to figure it out and play this well. The number-one thing to watch out for, I think, is Cal Poly’s shooting. If they get/stay hot from three-point range, they can stay in a game. If they come out 1-6 or something, it could be a long evening.

Is a 1-16 upset really a possibility?

Probably not. It’s never happened.

A reporter asked Eversley after the Texas Southern game if Wichita State had something to worry about. Eversley gave the politically correct answer — he is pretty smart and savvy with the media. Maybe, inside, he believed something different. You figure a successful college cager is probably pretty competitive. If he thought he had no chance, then he wouldn’t be who he is.

So, no, Cal Poly probably won’t pull the upset. Just don’t tell them because, as weird as this season has been, they definitely still believe. Whatever happens, don’t expect the Mustangs to hang their heads either. Mid-way through a tough skid in Big West play, after a home loss to Cal State Fullerton during which the Mustangs looked lost in the first half, Eversley gave a pretty memorable quote.

“Until we lose the final game of the season,” Eversley said, “until I’ve played my last game in this jersey, the sky’s not falling.”

Improbably, they’ve been keeping that sky from falling for four games over a span of seven days. If they do manage to win on Friday, it would be more than improbable. It would be historic.

Eversley reiterated in a tweet today something the sixth-ranked Cal Poly baseball team has been tweeting all year, so I guess take it for what it’s worth.

Sophomore Reese Morgan made three 3-pointers in ten minutes on Wednesday night. Photo By Owen Main

Reese Morgan was the future of Cal Poly basketball. Maybe he still is.

As a high-school senior, the 6 foot 2 guard at Peninsula High School in San Pedro, CA was highly touted, scoring almost 2,500 points in his prep career and earning fourth-team Parade All American status.

Then, in the preseason of his freshman year, Morgan suffered a setback, injuring his left knee. Last season, as a redshirt freshman, he literally and figuratively regained his footing. On the road against UC Santa Barbara, Morgan was fearless, scoring 26 points, including seven three-pointers. Promise was starting to become reality. But one of his best attributes — his physical play, seemed to wear on him.

After the UCSB game last season, Morgan just didn’t seem the same. He ended-up playing in all 32 of the Mustangs’ contests, but the knee still nagged at him. He would need yet another procedure — his fourth knee surgery.

His comeback in the middle of Big West Conference play during the 2013-14 season looked a lot like the preseason of his redshirt freshman year. His balance looked wonky and his comfort level with the transformer-like knee brace did not seem strong.

In the Big West Tournament he didn’t score at all, but on Wednesday night, he made three out of four from behind the arc, giving Cal Poly the floor spacing they needed for consistent penetration. So, how does that knee feel now?

“Physically, as far as that part, not 100 percent,” said Morgan. “I’m eight and a half months out of my fourth knee surgery so the process is slow. Tonight I felt actually really good, though, but coach doesn’t want to over-do it or anything so trying to keep my minutes limited to when I can help and how I can kind of be a spark without putting me at risk of anything.”

After playing just five total minutes in two of the three conference tournament games, Morgan’s First Four hot streak might have been all the more surprising.

“As far as coming out and playing well… it’s a big game. First time we’ve ever been to the tournament, probably the most people I’ve ever played in front of so I was obviously excited and I was just happy to see those shots go down,” said Morgan after the game.

Not at 100 percent, a medical redshirt might have been an option for Morgan, but he didn’t want to miss an opportunity to play this season and be in a similar situation to graduating women’s basketball junior Ariana Elegado, who will only return to the team next season if she attends a graduate program at Cal Poly.

“I redshirted my freshman year and I didn’t necessarily want to take a second redshirt because then I’d have to find a different program to go into as far as school and that wasn’t really going to work out for me,” said Morgan. “So I decided that, hey, I might as well come back if I can, if my knee’s healthy and if the doctors let me and see if I can give some sort of a spark. We’ve kind of been shooting for middle February all year. I got some minutes in that time and trying to find my way back in a groove. It’s definitely not easy to be out that long and come back but it felt good tonight.”

Cal Poly sophomore David Nwaba is probably the biggest beneficiary of having Morgan and sharpshooter Kyle Odister back in the lineup. At one point this season, both of Cal Poly’s best shooters were out with injuries and teams really packed the lane against the slashing Nwaba.

“It’s good having Reese back, being another shooter on the floor and just spacing out and just playing his role,” said Nwaba, who scored 17 points and grabbed five rebounds against Texas Southern. “He’s battled through injuries all year, so it’s great.”

Morgan made his season debut at Long Beach State on February 15th. While he did score 10 points in a game against UC Davis at the end of February, Morgan played in just seven games and scored just 13 points all season before Wednesday night, when he scored his nine points in just 10 minutes on the court. In their First Four game, Cal Poly scored a season-high 81 points and shot 56 percent from the field — both season-highs.

“I think we’re just flowing better,” said Morgan. “We’ve come out with a lot more intensity. When we get stops we kind of feed off that. Obviously we could have done a little better on the defensive side tonight which we’ll work on… but I think that we’ve just been aggressive and flowing and just sharing the ball and shots are falling. When shots fall and your team is doing that it’s a great combination.”

On this episode, I was joined by Cal Poly forward Zach Gordon and play-by-play announcer Tom Barket to talk about the Mustangs’ improbable Big West Conference Tournament run and what Dayton has in store for them.

Gordon, of course, is the Mustang who took the “charge heard ’round the world” on Saturday night, basically icing the tournament championship for Cal Poly.

This week, Joe Lunardi picked Cal Poly to win their opening round matchup against Texas Southern.

Here is the charge Gordon took, in case you missed it:

It was almost too late.

Watching this team all season, it seemed as though these players would never all find their comfort zone, at least not all at the same time. Sure, role players like Ridge Shipley (at UC Riverside), Anthony Silvestri (at UCSB) and Jamal Johnson (vs. CSUN and Hawai’i at home) had shown flashes of brilliance. But those flashes never seemed to come at the same time or at exactly the right time.

Until last week.

Offensive flow

Cal Poly finally found an offensive confidence and flow that has been working for them. Gone are early shot-clock misses that lead to fast breaks on the other end. Somehow, getting deep into the shot clock didn’t force a lot of last-second heaves from the eventual conference champs either.

Reading driving lanes has been of particular importance. David Nwaba, the most athletic player in almost any game he plays in, has been of particular note with improved court vision. In Cal Poly’s 31-point drubbing of Santa Barbara, the sophomore scored 11 points, grabbed six rebounds, and dished three assists. The rebounding and assist numbers were both team-highs.

In the championship game, Nwaba’s line was 17-6-2. He slashed to the hoop in a controlled and timely fashion. When he read that help was coming, he passed just enough to keep the driving lanes open. Nwaba shot 52 percent from the field this season, but it’s his court vision and willingness to move the ball during the Big West Tournament that made both him and his team more dangerous.

Defensive intensity

Joe Callero’s calling card has always been his teams’ defense, but the Mustangs’ D looked flummoxed at times this season. Maybe their opponents tightened-up some during conference play, but I saw more shots taken at the end of the 35-second clock by opponents over the past three games than I had all season.

Maybe it was a matter of matchups, but Cal Poly didn’t mess around with any 3-2 kinds of defensive schemes in the conference tournament. Instead they mixed man-to-man pressure with the matchup zone that has made them so difficult to score against in seasons past.

No matter what defense they played, the energy and defensive intensity from the Mustangs definitely picked-up. Nwaba, whose game Callero describes as “edgy,” is the on-ball defensive leader in that case. Energy from defensive role players like Joel Awich and Zach Gordon finally all lined-up right too.

Know your role

I feel like I could take 500 words to describe the odyssey of each of the 12 players on this year’s team who have seen significant minutes, but for now I’ll say this. When Joe Callero arrived five years ago, the thing I was most impressed with was that all the players on the court — whether or not they were physically outmatched — looked like they knew what they were doing and were put in a position to succeed. Everyone clearly knew their role and could execute it with intensity.

This year’s team didn’t always look like that, but once they got healthy and got into the Big West Tournament, this year’s Cal Poly team finally, improbably, found their rhythm. They found their roles.

On Wednesday, in Dayton, Ohio, they’ll try to find their 14th win.
