Denver Pioneers suffered an 8-point loss in their season opener, giving up 95 points. Despite the struggles on defense as UC San Diego had a field goal percentage of 53.8% and a three-point percentage of 41.2%, the Pioneers managed 48 rebounds and 13 assists. Denver shot poorly with 39.4% field goals and 33.3% from three-point range but made up for it with their free throw percentage of 75.8%. Touko Tainamo led the team in scoring with 31 points and Jaxon Brenchley had four assists. Denver has an overall record of 0-1 (0-1 ATS), ranking #78 in offense (87 average points per game) and #270 in defense (95 average points per game).

Denver Opens Season with Close Win Despite Touka Tainamo's Big Night

Denver opened their season with a close game, falling by eight points despite scoring 87 points and only committing 11 turnovers. Touka Tainamo will be integral to their next game as the forward had an impressive performance with 31 points and 18 rebounds on opening night, shooting 50% from the field and 87.5% from the free throw line. Cal Poly recorded 80 points on opening night, but they faced a division III side and should face a tougher time on the road against Denver. An exciting, high-scoring game is expected, as Denver looks to use their uptempo offense to stretch their lead and end up victorious by double digits.
