2025 Tournament PreviewUC San Diego is not the typical mid-major, sporting a 30-4 record and receiving votes in the national rankings during the season. In their first year eligible, the Tritons enter the Big Dance with the nation's longest active winning streak (15 games) as Big West regular-season and tournament champs. Senior guard Aniwaniwa Tait-Jones (19.5 ppg, 5.5 rpg, 3.7 apg) scored in double figures in all but two games, while senior Tyler McGhie (16.4 ppg) is the main sharpshooter, knocking down 114 three-pointers at 38.6 percent. The Tritons live and die by the three, as 49.6 percent of their field-goal attempts are from distance -- eighth most in the nation. Senior point guard Hayden Gray (11.2 ppg, 3.3 apg) protects the ball tremendously well, helping UCSD to the nation's seventh-lowest offensive turnover rate. Defense is solid as well, ranking 30th in efficiency (per KenPom) with the country's second-highest defensive turnover rate. The Tritons' first-round opponent should be on upset alert.
