it looks like their loss to Irvine shows as a W in the Anteaters column.

Nice turnaround after such a bad showing Friday. Felt like we should have won by 15 or more, but we got sloppy on offense and lazy on defense and let a comfortable 12 point lead slip away.

If we can get some points from Anigwe, we’ll be able to score, especially if the defense continues to be tough. Manjon, Fuller, Squire and Pepper all look good. Koehler brings energy and toughness, and is a quality FT shooter, but, man, his footwork is bad - gets too rushed. Maybe that will improve with games. Ba and Shaw both contribute. Surprised we didn’t go a little deeper on a back to back ( pretty sure Adebayo and McGill played but didn’t show in box score)

UCSD is transitional D1 so games don’t count in Big West Standings. So we’re still 0-0 in league play

Keeping them in the game with bad shots and mistakes.

67-60 with 3:45 left

Seemed like early we were trying to force it inside and that didn’t flow at all. Getting better as the game goes. Missed a lot of easy shots or we’d be up more.

54-46 12 to go

Manjon is really struggling. If he can get going, everything will open up

Defense is playing well. Feels like if we get a little lead and relax, we’ll pull away

isn’t there some concern that premeditating with Tylenol may reduce the effectiveness of the vaccine?

was there a post game interview? I wonder if Scott Marsh is there or doing it remotely. He used to actively post on Facebook about his broadcast travels (and other subjects) but he’s been silent for awhile

it did after the first game of the season. Hope history repeats

the stats are weird. Forced them into 22 turnovers. Good defense. Allowed 70% shooting. Not so good. Reminds me of a Monty python skit of soccer highlights where one team is the long John silver impersonators!

that’s a big surprise. Wonder if that might have influenced their opt out decision

can’t believe the Quija board let us down

Wow; down almost 30. Didn’t see this happening even with the layoff

they shot 70% from the field in the first half? wow, didn't expect our defense to be rusty.

3 point favorites. Wonder how they come up with a spread in a season like this

it’s not like having an AD who had a spouse as a head coach. That would be crazy

Here is an article discussing their thought process on the move

I wonder if they fill in some of the blanks in the schedule. With an odd number of teams, there will be teams with byes on the non bye weekends

it was sent to me by someone in department. It’s probably not etched in stone

By the way here is the TENTATIVE schedule. Not sure how they are handling an odd number with the 2 byes
