No stokes (Wrist cast) and no Cooper

Big money bet for me!

The eagles have landed in Vegas - gonna go walk the strip before dinner and the LATE tip-off.

I’m seeing us as 5.5 point underdogs. That must be driven by injuries. Let’s price them wrong.

The Green Valley Resort is right across the way; really nice venue but at over $500/night, we’re NOT there. Parking is free at the arena.

I never went to the Honda center so can’t comment on the atmosphere between the two places.

Another coach with Hawaii background - islands are starting to be a focus got out of state talent

I think CSUN is the dark horse although they didn’t finish strong.

Anyone else going to Vegas?

from what I understand, the seat license money goes toward the general revenue sharing pot; the champion Aggie money, if directed to football fund, goes to the program for its expenditures.

that seems odd (no pun intended) unless our injury outlook is bleak. We have identical records, both in conference and overall. Over the last three weeks, we are 2-3, they are 1-5.

They are no taking the Niko revenge factor into account!

we scored nearly 50 first half points shooting something like 70%; second half we cooled and they got hot and it slipped away quickly. We did look gassed in the second half.

I don’t expect we’ll see Stokes but maybe Cooper returns and Sevilla is healthier.

Looks like late night celebratory cocktails at the Green Valley Resort for us! Short walk from the arena.

Sevilla 0-4 hurts - he definitely wasn’t right with whatever is going on with his hand/wrist, We’re much better on both ends with him out there but no scoring hurts. Wilson was heard in check by their defense - he rarely got an uncontested shot or drive where they weren’t all over him. We got to keep Omer on the floor - fouls limited him to 7 minutes which really hurts when you are already short handed.

Top 6 played at least 33 minutes, several in the high 30s. Coming off a road OT makes for a tough assignment!

I’m hoping we get a three peat vs SB; getting Fullerton and Hawaii is probably the best draw we could hope for.

‘the curse of Niko’. Didn’t get to play down there; never loses to them!

My wife won this in the wine ring toss. Pretty cool bottle.

Last year, we best Poly twice in the regular season…..tournament didn’t follow suit.

That damned Bakersfield home loss might have really hurt?

We’re getting good shots here in OT - not dropping. They aren’t missing

Damn Russ Turner - come out in a zone when we have no timeouts to counter it.

Offense down the stretch is killing us again. Double pick at the top of the key just isn’t working

Quite an effort so far. Can we close it out? Let’s see if Daugherty or Sevilla can come up with a big hoop

47-45 with 11:15 to go. Irvine is starting to look like Irvine
