Take away Majon’s 1-17 and we’re shooting around 40%. Not great but not bad. Our 3 shooting was bad, and we turned the hall over more in the second half when USD pulled away. I like that Manjon kept shooting; didn’t sound like he was taking bad shots, just not getting rolls. I feared a bad shooting night after the layoff and finals. Too bad. That one was there for the taking

No sitting required

58-54 loss; bummer

USD on 12-2 run; 53-43 with about 2:30 to go. Slipping away

when a team is struggling, those are huge!

We only have 2 turnovers which helps. Besides Manjon we’re 10-23, and starting to get a little warmer

and yet we’re up 25-21 at the half! Manjon is 0-10, must still be reeling from his first finals

thanks; I assumed Tennessee was 3hours ahead.

Playing 3 Friday night games and a 11:00 kickoff is no way to find a champion. Austin Peay of Tennessee played a 9:00 (eastern) game in Sac, and then a Friday night in Bozeman. That’s not an easy itinerary for a small college. I know all these teams had good defenses but I wonder if the schedule had a big impact on scoring?

that UCSD and I don’t think that officially starts until something like 2024 (transitioning up to D1).

USD is in the wcac

Good test tonight. These guys are 1-2 v BWC teams, so good barometer. Tough coming out of finals week with a tough road games. Could use a Holy Names warmup

Bobcats dominating statistically but only up 10-3 at the half. Never keep an underdog around. Although it’s not like MSU is lighting it up. Their TD was a 60 yard run. I wasn’t overly impressed by their offense. Against us, they scored on an bomb (frosh QB’s only one of the year) and the long run on the wildcat that looked like a broken play

I’m probably missing some of the economics here but Colorado State built an on campus stadium of the same size for $220 million. Seems like $15 USA drop in the bucket, especially since this is California

I had forgotten we have the Cal TE transferring in

I plan to be there. I believe the emphasis is on getting guys signed for this early date

he’s on the ESPN list on their NCAAF page. Pretty sure it’s the one linked above (that link didn’t work for me). It matches with the spots listed for Pete, Patterson and Sochor

he’s 99 on the list

Hard to understand how Belotti DIDN'T make the list. He brought Oregon to national significance.

At the Team Aggie basketball pregame, AgAlum and I were sitting with some long time football folk. Pete's name came up with regard to his stepping down, and everybody at the table gushed about him as a coach and person. Then, another top 150 coach, Chris Ault, was brought up. Not a whole bunch of positive gushing about him!

3-2 would be a hell of a finish. USD is the only team I can see us beating on the road

i agree this this assessment, although last year's team seemed to be the outlier. kept waiting for them to make their big run, and it never happened.

i like this group this year. they have a few guys that can put it on the floor and create a shot/draw a foul, as well as a few guys how can hit the 3's. the FT shooting is better than i remember in some time. And, our rebounding has been at mostly even in all the games. Defense has been solid

Hawkins turned down Tumey once; i doubt he'd a second offer at Fresno.
