#9 LB State kicked off the men's tournament by routing #8 CSUN 86-63. The 49ers led by 20 at the half 46-26 and held the Matadors to 29% shooting for the game. LB will now play #1 UCSB at 11 a.m. on Thursday.

#9 Fullerton came back from a 7 point deficit at the half, 30-23, and outscored UCR 32-21 in the second half to win the game 55-51. Senior forward, Joy Krupa, led the Titans with 16 points and 15 rebounds.

Fullerton forced 28 Riverside TO's so I imagine they will try and pressure the Aggies on defense and try to make the game hectic. The Ags have a big target on their backs since they've been #1 in the conference for so long. Teams are going to really come after the Ags aggressively especially since they now have seen that Hawaii had success with their relentless, scrappy defense against the Aggies. The Ags need to try and control the pace of the game with smart basketball and disciplined pace.

Apparently they had a bunch of guys out for the game with us and now it looks like that was because of Covid concerns. So why didn't they cancel the game against us? Makes me question their Covid protocols...

Lots of interesting stats and predictions on that website:

Strom did not play in the Wildcats win over Idaho State even though they had 10 receivers play in the game.

Wonderful interview with Morgan! It's very interesting to hear about what it's be like for her playing pro abroad. She's so honest and articulate and is a perfect example of what Aggie Athletics is all about.

Everyone gets an extra year of eligibility. Hall and Trpcic are seniors and both have said they have not made up their minds yet about returning in the fall and that their decisions will depend upon grad school or playing pro opportunities. Emma Gibb has said that this is her final season.

Bake is always athletic and long and they have quickness as well. They'll be a tough match-up for the Ags.

I agree. It's actually a bit of a penalty to play that early but I'll bet that ESPN thinks that the games with closer seeds will be more competitive so they want those games played later for possible bigger tv audiences.

There seems to be a pretty good rivalry between the Ags and Hawaii. The games are often physical and some have been chippy especially the games in Hawaii. The Stan Sheriff Center is a tough place to play for the visiting teams considering travel and the time zone differences combined with the dedicated Hawaii fans who can be tough on the visiting teams.

The Hawaii announcers said that the Aggies were flying directly to Las Vegas from Honolulu for the BW Tournament. I think that is the smart thing to do. It will give the Aggies some much needed time to rest and get their biological clocks reset for their early, 11 a.m. game on Wednesday.

:rofl:

Fun day to be an Aggie fan!
