MUSTANGS LOOK TO BUILD OFF OF HISTORIC 2024-25 SEASON: In addition to reaching the Big West Championship semifinals for the first time in 11 years last spring during head coach Mike DeGeorge’s first season, the 2024-25 Mustangs:
– Recorded the most overall wins (16) and Big West wins (eight) since the 2012-13 season;
– Finished third among 355 Division I programs in three-pointers made (11.5) and attempted (31.8) per game, 19th with 82.1 points per game and 30th in effective field goal percentage (55.4);
– Averaged 18.4 more points per game than the 2023-24 season – the most significant turnaround in the nation and;
– Enjoyed a 12-win improvement from previous season marking the fourth most dramatic reversal among Division I programs. 

SANDERS DEBUT MAKES NBA MUSTANGS TWO: Cal Poly saw a second Mustang alum make his NBA debut on Oct. 22 when guard Kobe Sanders (2020-24) – drafted 50th overall by the New York Knicks in June before being traded to the Clippers – appeared for Los Angeles. Cal Poly’s first and only NBA Draft selection since 1978, Sanders joined guard David Nwaba (2013-16) – who appeared for the Los Angeles Lakers, Chicago, Cleveland, Brooklyn and Houston between 2017 and 2022 – as the only former Mustangs to play in the NBA.

LOOKING AHEAD: The Mustangs reach the second half of their six-game road trip when visiting Utah on Thursday, Nov. 20 at 6 p.m. PT. Utah has prevailed in the only two previous matchups, last defeating Cal Poly on Dec. 16, 2006 (77-58).

ETC.: The Mustangs are in their 32nd Division I season and 82nd as a four-year program … Cal Poly’s Nov. 3 season opener at USC marked the earliest start date in program history … the Mustangs improved to 50-1 against non-Division I opposition with a 101-79 home victory against Division III Pacific Lutheran on Nov. 5 (Cal Poly transitioned to the Division I level prior to the 1994-95 season).Â
