If you missed last night’s showdown, you missed one of the wildest finishes of the 2026 college basketball season. The UC Davis Aggies just dropped a 93-92 nail-biter to Cal State Fullerton, and the box score is absolutely popping off on social media. In a game that saw lead changes, offensive explosions, and a frantic finish, the Aggies proved they are one of the most entertaining teams to watch right now—even when the final buzzer isn’t kind.
Deep Dive: Inside the Offensive Shootout
This wasn’t just a loss; it was a statement of offensive firepower. The Aggies (16-11, 9-7 Big West) went toe-to-toe with the Titans in a game that felt more like a track meet than a basketball match.
Star Performances
Nils Cooper was unstoppable, dropping a team-high 26 points on efficient 9-of-13 shooting. He was the engine keeping Davis in the hunt until the final second.
Connor Sevilla and Brayden Fagbemi provided critical support, with Sevilla draining clutch threes and Fagbemi dishing out 6 assists to keep the offense humming.
Bench Mob: Freshman Omer Suljanovic stepped up big with 10 points, proving the Aggies have depth.
By the Numbers
Offense wasn’t the problem. UC Davis shot a blistering 50% from the field and over 41% from deep. But defensively, they couldn’t quite stifle Fullerton’s attack, leading to a high-octane 93-92 final score that has fans debating defensive strategies across forums today.
The Impact: What This Means for the “Final Run”
This loss stings, but it also raises the stakes. As the Aggies prepare to leave the Big West for the Mountain West Conference next season, every remaining game is part of their farewell tour. At 9-7 in conference play, they are fighting for seeding in the Big West Tournament. This team has the scoring punch to beat anyone, but they’ll need to lock in defensively to turn these heartbreakers into history-making wins. The road to March just got a lot steeper, but definitely more exciting.
