We generally play pretty good defense but our offense is so inconsistent. It's fun to watch when some shots are actually falling!

I hope this will be a confidence booster for the Ags. They were the aggressor in the second half and it paid off. The defense was solid and we were getting good looks on offense because of great ball movement. Manjon is going to be special as he keeps getting more experience. He has some tremendous moves and is lightening quick. Good to see Gonzo finally get dialed in.

No let up in the schedule as the Aggies head to Utah for another Pac12 opponent of Friday.

I thought the second half was the best basketball this team has played this year.

I sure hope Jen has her team practice their layups this week. They must have missed 10 point blank shots from 2 feet. Nice moves to get to the basket and then miss the bunny 5 or 6 times is way too many.

Gritty double OT win by the Aggies! They simply refused to lose this one and prevented the Hornets from sweeping the Aggies in basketball and football this year.

The Ags have come back from 18 down to trail by two 48-46 with 9:30 to go.

The Ags came out sleepwalking at the start of the game. Sac has clearly been the aggressor. I'm not sure what it is with this team so far this year in that they typically start slow and then have to try and climb out of a hole. You can tell that Jen was beside herself when her starters were getting beat easily on defense. This would be a 4 or 2 point game if the Ags could hit their bunny shots...how many shots from 2 feet have they missed? Our 3 point shooting is dreadful also.

I think Jen should play Gibb much more. She a fairly solid defender and she is plays with aggressiveness whereas Stobbart is rushing her shots and playing timid. Stobbart has not played up to her potential this year.

I hope he gets a chance...can't show anybody anything if you can't get on the field...

Thomas will be eligible for a redshirt if he only played in 4 games total this season. The redshirt rule changed in 2018. Players can now play in up to 4 games one year and not have that year count as a one of their 4 years. You still have 5 years to play 4 but it's essentially 5 years in which you can now play 4 1/3.

A player can get a medical redshirt if an injury occurs in the first half of the season and the player can not have played in more than 3 games before the injury occurs. Montana was the 5th game of the season for us so, if he didn't play after that game, he would meet the criteria for a medical redshirt also. It would seem easier for him just to use a regular redshirt year rather than going through the process of applying for a medical redshirt though.

He hasn't been playing lots of minutes though. I'm not sure he's 100%.

I watched the game. The Aggies dominated the entire game and outshot Louisville 18-5 before a huge and enthusiastic crowd that wasn't at all happy with the referee on quite a few ocassions.

The Ags were clearly a much better team in every aspect of the game but one of the few Louisville shots snuck in. The Ags scored a final second goal in the first half but the referee wiped it off by saying that time had expired which was questionable. No reviews in soccer. This is a tough loss for the Ags to swallow.

Overturning the interception without a review is right up there with the horrible out of bounds call on Chris Carter some years ago in the Causeway. Why was it overturned and why wasn't it reviewed? We at least deserve an answer from the Big Sky?

It was a dagger that gave the Hornets momentum going into halftime down 17-10 instead of 17-3 with the Aggies carrying the momentum. The tv announcers looked at the replay and said "he had his foot down, that was an interception...Hawkins must be livid right now."

The play was initially ruled an interception and a change of possession and then, for some unknown reason, it was suddenly overturned on the field. The play was reviewable since it apparently involved the whether or not the Aggie defender was in bounds. Hawkins could have challenged the play if the Aggies still had a timeout. Anyone know if we had a timeout at that point?

Great analysis.

"Our defense was doing a pretty good job but we kept putting them back on the field," said Hawkins, about the second half. "We couldn't make a play offensively. We had too many three-and-outs. You start putting your defense out there over and over, and eventually, a good offense will find their rhythm."

I actually thought defense played fairly well especially these last few games. Can’t win if you can’t score.

Same problem the men's basketball team has had the last couple of years...

...I wish...never happen in the overly courteous confines of our stadium...

This has to be one of the most diesappointing seasons ever. The expectations were so high going into the season and now we finish 5-7 without beating a single quality team. The writing was on the wall when we were lucky to beat San Diego and the exclamation point was added when we didn't show up to play against Montana.

The defense played ok but missed failed to wrap up the ball carrier after making contact on too many occasions. The offense was simply anemic. Other than the long pass, it just looked listless. Jake had tons of time and, generally, our receivers were not creating separation and too often our running plays were entirely predictable.

Well, at least we didn't get steamrolled...

My guess is that you can't challenge a ruling of no interception...makes no sense...

To add insult to injury, the zebras missed an obvious face mask on Gilliam on our next possession...
