The Cuesta Men’s Basketball team suffered a close 83-79 loss to Redwoods on November 9, 2026, in San Luis Obispo. Despite trailing by 15 points at halftime, Cuesta mounted a strong second-half effort to make the game competitive throughout the final period.
Sophomore guard Ahmad Jacquet led Cuesta with a game-high 21 points, playing 31 minutes off the bench. Guards James Nugent and Sean Armstrong contributed 15 and 14 points respectively, while Cole Williams came close to securing a double-double, finishing just two rebounds shy.
With the defeat, Cuesta holds a 2-3 record early in the season but has outscored opponents 384 to 360 across five games. The Cougars will continue their season this weekend at the American River Tournament in Sacramento, facing Feather River on Friday at 6 p.m. and Shasta on Saturday at 1 p.m.
CSB Take
Cuesta Men’s Basketball has shown resilience in competitive matchups despite a losing record through its first five games. The team’s ability to outscore opponents overall and mount comebacks after slow starts bodes well for development. Upcoming tournament play will provide valuable experience and an opportunity to improve as the season progresses.
