I thought our defense played very well. We struggled on offense primarily due to the Bruins stout defense. Tough to make anything in the paint with their size. However, we missed quite a few of the the open shots we were able to get and we didn't seem to play with much confidence on offense. The Bruin defense is literally heads and shoulders above us. I'd like to see of play better on offense in the second half.

They did let a 15 point lead get away from them. However, the main reason they lost in the final 10 seconds was because of the 2 absolutely horrible foul calls by the officials which put NAU on the line for 4 FT's and they made all 4.

The last foul with 2.3 seconds left was incredibly wrong! The NAU player ran straight into Sidney Burns who was cutting across the court and knocked her down and the official called a foul on Burns. It's mind-boggling that the official would call Burns for that foul. Even the NAU player thought she had fouled Burns and was shocked that the call went against Burns. Jen Gross was livid and you certainly can't blame her.

It looks like Boston Stovall has an offer from Montana Tech. Interestingly, he has a full ride academic scholarship offer to Tuskegee University also.

Not surprised. I hope he does well there.

Ooops...wrong thread...

The Ags came into this game as one of the top 5 rebounding teams in the nation but EWU beat us on the boards today. The last time that happened was in our 10 point loss to LMU.

Very interesting for sure.

Unfortunately, I don't think you are wrong, Toke. We just haven't found any kind of consistency game to game or even half to half this year. We don't seem to be able to stretch a lead and keep it throughout the whole 40 minutes. We even lost a 29 point lead to Boston University in the final 16 minutes of the second half before winning in OT.

I feel like this team has the makings of a pretty good basketball team but something is missing or just hasn't gelled yet. I can't put my finger on it but something is not clicking. If the coaches don't get it figured out, I think we'll be hard pressed to be in the top half of the Big West.

We can't have a game like this against UCLA, Hawaii and Irvine and expect to have a chance to win. The Bruins will run us out of Pauley Pavilian and Hawaii is always hard to beat in Hawaii. We follow those two games up with our conference opener at home against Irvine who is perhaps the best team in the BW.

We've had 11 games now figure things out but we're still very inconsistent and that doesn't bode well for us in these next 3 very tough games.

I'll be pulling for us but I'm not real confident at the moment...

Ags lose 79-68.

I think this may be the poorest performance overall by the Aggies this year. You simply can not allow a team to shoot 10-18 from 3 while we go 3-20. Way too many break downs on defense also. Les will not be happy at all with this effort.

This one is slipping away. The Ags can't make a 3 (2-16) and EWU can't miss a 3 (9-15).

Our perimeter defense is MIA. EWU is 8-13 from 3 and the Ags are 2-15.

Ags can't get their offense going and are down 6 now. 57-61 with 9:27 to go.

Dreadful 3 point shooting by the Aggies 2-14 so far.

28-9 SDSU at the half. The temperature is 7 degrees and dropping.

37-35 Ags at the half. We had several opportunities to stretch the lead to double digits at times but poor 3 point shooting and lapses on defense allowed the Eagles keep it close. The offense has not found a good rhythm.

DeBruhl is fun to watch because he plays with such passion and effort. He has really improved a lot in the past year.

This game will be a tough road test for the Aggies against a pretty good basketball team. The Ags lead the all-time series 2-1 having won last year in Davis 84-76. Anigwe had an outstanding game in that win over the Eagles. He had a double-double with 19 points and 12 rebounds.

Eli Pepper is approaching another UCD milestone in scoring also. He currently sits in 21st place in all-time scoring for the Aggies with 1081 points which is just 25 points behind #20 Dominic Calegari who scored 1106 points during his basketball career with the Ags.

This game was a tough battle. IW shot themselves in the foot especially with the 4 TO's but they got "homered" by the refs on several calls and folks have noted. They were the better team overall and I think that Sac was better than NDSU this year also.

I wonder if the Aggie coaches will be taking a deep look at the transfer portal this year?

The Ags roll to a 76-30 victory. Eleven Aggies got significant minutes. Turner led the way with 18 followed by Epps with 13.
