MMBOD Nov 19: Darren Fells - California-Irvine

By Kyle Whelliston on November 20, 2005 8:12 AM |

Even the young'uns in Irvine remember a time when the Big West was basically them and Utah State, when Pacific was just a blip. But the glory days are becoming smaller in the rear-view, and after a freak injury to star guard Jeff Gloger over the summer, there was no joy in 'Eaterville. Add in a 79-56 beatdown by George Mason last week, and things were looking mighty grim for 05-06.

But yesterday at storied Maples Pavilion, a big young greenhorn from Fullerton had the game of his life - outhustling and outmuscling highly-recruited basketball robots to come within a board of a dub-dub. With the help of Ross Schrader's 19, the might Anteaters prevailed and gave coach Pat Douglass his 500th career victory. Zot! Zot! Zot!

What We Do
Having recently completed its fourth season, The Mid-Majority is a blog about the 22 smaller Division I college basketball conferences (and independents) by me, Kyle Whelliston. I write for ESPN.com and Basketball Times, and maintain the Basketball State statistics website as well.

Here's a brief note on who we talk about, and why.

If you need to contact me for any reason, you can do so with this form. If you're looking for the stats, maps or budget data, it's all over here now.
