Can UC Davis Win the Big Sky? Tim Plough Previews the 2026 Season
UC Davis head coach Tim Plough joins Matt George and Kayla Anderson ahead of the Aggies’ 2026 season opener at Portland State to discuss why expectations are rising after a nine-win season. Plough explains why this is the deepest and most talented team he’s had in three years, highlights playmakers including Jordan Fisher, Sam Batu, Winston Williams and Rex Connors, and discusses the challenge of opening with three straight road games. He also shares UC Davis’ approach to the transfer portal and NIL era, revealing how remarkably few players have left the program compared with the Division I average and why creating an environment players genuinely want to be part of remains one of his biggest priorities.
