17-12 Ags at the end of the first quarter.

Did anybody go to the signing day event and hear Hawk talk about these recruits?

Looks like Del Real had an offer from San Diego also and took visits to quite a few other schools. Good size...maybe a sleeper like Doss was...

You've gotta love watching the highlights of OL Princeton Toki 5'11 330. He moves pretty good for his size and just pancakes a few unfortunate defenders...

Outside of the obvious, 5 star, blue chip players the ratings don't mean much. It will be interesting though to see how they rate this 2020 class.

Hahaha,..funny story....

I noticed that too. Joe was just stunned and Koehler could see that the shot was going to be good as the ball descended. It was fun watching Joe running away and getting caught by the celebration mob.

Nothing but net!!!

Well that was one for the Aggie ages! It was a pretty small crowd. Too bad the students were gone. This would have been a great one for them to have seen. It was fantastic to see Joe hit the shot of his life and one of the great buzzer beaters ever in Aggie history. This was a much needed win for the Aggies.

We were totally out of sync in the first half and LMU was shooting lights out but this team just kept grinding away and won it primarily on their defense in the second half. We forced 19 TO's and Gonzalez got hot and helped us cut into the lead. Koehler was great defending their bigs in the paint and he drained some critical FT's. Unfortunately, Manjon's shooting struggles continued. He needs a few shots to fall to get his confidence back.

Fun night in the Pavilion. Now, if we could upset San Francisco on Saturday...

LMU 38 Ags 24 at the half. LMU shooting 75%.

Awesome...even better since he decommitted from Sac!

I was only able to listen to part of the game. Greg Wong commented that Jen Gross was not happy with some of the officiating. The Ags were whistled for 23 fouls which resulted in Minnesota shooting 26-31 at the line whereas the Golden Gophers were tagged with 13 fouls and the Aggies only shot 6-11 from the line. That was the difference in the game. Minnesota probably benefited from a little bit of home cooking in front of a crowd of 4673 fans.

The Aggies cut a 15 point Minnesota lead down to 4 in the final minutes but the Golden Gophers prevailed 76-67 by outscoring the Aggies 26 to 6 from the FT line. Great effort by the Aggies today in front of a crowd of 5000.

KDVS covers every game except the preseason exhibition games.

That's good news.

Defense kept the Ags in the game in the first half while the offense was ice cold. At one point we were 2-21. Then we took a 6 point lead in the second half but our defense began breaking down and the offense remained ice cold. Manjon had a game he'd rather forget...1-16 shooting and Mooney, who's been hot lately, was only 1-8 from 3 and most of those misses were off line and not even close. I've said it before, great defense can keep you in the game but when you shoot 31% you are not going to beat many teams at the D1 level.

We've seen a lot of these type of games in the last few couple of years where we just can not score with any kind of consistency. I was getting my hopes up after the win over NIU and our efforts against Cal and Utah but the offense went missing again and we added another game to the L column.

Les skipped the normal radio, post-game interview...probably wasn't fun to be in the locker room with him after this loss...

Pepper is showing why he starts...6 boards and 2 steals...

Outstanding defense by both teams. I like the fact that, even though we started off 2-21, we kept playing tough defense. Les likes to say that offense is fickle but defense travels...got that right tonight...

Good grief...the Ags start off shooting 1-16 for 6%! Unbelievable...
