Fans will not be permitted to the arena; however, the entire tournament will be streamed live on WatchESPN's networks. ESPN3 is accessible on computers, smart phones, tablets and streaming devices through both the ESPN app and ESPN.com, available nationwide at no additional cost to those with a subscription package.
CAMPISANO CLIMBS IN SCHOOL HISTORY: Cal Poly's Sierra Campisano now ranks No. 25 in school history for career scoring, with 806 points as a Mustang. Campisano, a 2020 all-conference first-teamer, finds herself among the league leaders in a handful of statistical categories.
The senior forward from San Diego ranks No. 2 throughout the conference in scoring (averaging 15.4 points) and No. 3 in rebounding (8.8). Selected as Big West Player of the Week on Dec. 14, she is also fourth in the conference in blocks per game, at 1.1.
ELLIS RANKS AMONG NATIONAL LEADERS: Abbey Ellis is not only leading the conference in scoring by averaging 15.8 points; she also ranks No. 17 around the country in free-throw percentage at .887, plus No. 44 nationally in steals per game (2.6).
Additionally, Ellis — who sank the game-winning 3-pointer at the buzzer on Feb. 20 vs. LBSU (selected by @NCAAwbb as the No. 3 Play of the Week) — now ranks 26th in program history for all-time scoring, with 766 career points.
The sophomore point guard out of Australia netted 39 points in the win over San Diego State on Dec. 21, the most by a Mustang since Jan. 4, 2018. That showing helped her repeat as Big West Player of the Week for Dec. 29.
A LOOK AT UCSB: The Gauchos head north on Highway 101 on a four-game winning streak, led by Monday's Big West Player of the Week: senior guard Doris Jones. Jones is averaging 15.3 points per game while shooting 44 percent overall.
Taylor Mole is Santa Barbara's top rebounder, averaging 9.6 boards, while Danae Miller distributes a team-best 4.2 assists per game. UCSB favors the 3-point line, as the Gauchos rank 40th in the country in made 3-pointers this season (draining 8.2 on average) and also are second in the conference in percentage from behind the arc (.345).
VICK, BROWN ALSO JOIN TOP-5 CONFERENCE LEADERS: Mustang redshirt sophomore guard Maddie Vick and Cal Poly senior forward Kirsty Brown also start this weekend both ranked within the Top 5 across a couple conference leaderboards for the duration of 2021.
Vick's assist-to-turnover ratio of 2.4 since league action commenced ranks third throughout the entire Big West during conference play (while she's also No. 13 in the Big West for assists per game, at 2.9 overall).
Brown, meanwhile, currently ranks second in the conference in offensive rebounding, averaging 2.8 extra possessions per game. Additionally, Brown is also just outside the Top 5 in conference rejections, blocking 0.7 shots (seventh-most) per game since Big West play began.
