Match Info

UC San Diego edged out California Irvine 71-69 in a thrilling National Collegiate Athletic Association matchup on February 22, 2026, at the Bren Events Center. The Tritons stole a road victory in the final seconds, dealing a blow to Irvine's conference title hopes in a classic Big West battle that came down to the wire. The Anteaters seemed in control for much of the game, holding a seven-point lead with under four minutes to play. However, UC San Diego closed the game on a 10-1 run, capped by a contested jump shot from the top of the key as time expired. The final play was set up by a critical offensive rebound off a missed free throw, giving the Tritons the chance for the game-winner. Irvine's inability to secure defensive rebounds in the clutch was the defining focus point of the heartbreaking loss. The result created a logjam near the top of the conference table, with UC San Diego announcing itself as a serious contender. The Irvine coach was devastated: "To lose that way, on our floor, after leading for 38 minutes, is unacceptable," while the UC San Diego coach called it a "program-defining win for our guys."
