Thin Blue Line

So it was the "take the wife to a Mexican restaurant after halftime jinx" that did us in!

The refs were calling it very tight. I don't like it when the refs let players mug each other but lots of ticky tack touch fouls that do not create any disadvantage to the "offended" player is just as bad. The thing I really did not like about this crew was that they were calling fouls on players making incidental contact on husltle plays scrambling after 50-50 balls on the floor. That penalizes effort and it's unnecessary.

I like the fight we are getting from the team. We were in both of these road games right up to the final seconds against two very good teams. I also thought Jim Les did a great job of coaching throughout both games mixing up the defenses, subbing in and out for offense/defense and managing the clock. Unfortunately, the Ags have little to show for their efforts in the win column...we just might be the best 4-12 team in the nation...

I know exactly what you mean, 69aggie. I worked for nearly 12 years in Davis right after I graduated. I spent most of those years living in Sac and commuting to Davis because my wife and I could afford a our first house in Sac and she worked at the Med Center so one of us was going to commute. It was and still is a wonderful town.

The shooter was suffering from a delusional mental illness from what I have read. The big question is why did he have a gun(s) and where did he get the murder weapon? If there is a true "national emergency" in America, it's the amount of gun violence and mass murders we have but the urgency of that issue mostly gets buried under the table. Sorry, probably too political for this forum but, honestly, when is something significant going to be done to help prevent more murders by guns in America?

Ags lose 82-77. The Ags lost this game in the first 2 minutes of the second half when they turned the ball over 4 straight times and LB scored 9 straight points to take the lead and never look back. The Beach scored 31 points off our TO's = ballgame....

The other big stat was that 4 Ags fouled out which led to LBSU scoring 32 of 42 from the line. Les needs to recruit for more length and athleticism so we can compete with athletic teams. Overall, we're too small and too slow against quick, athletic teams that have length.

Game ball goes to Joe Mooney who scored a career hight 29. Welcome back Joe we've missed ya!

Goode fouls out with 7:47 to go on a ticky tack touch...

All the Aggie bigs are in foul trouble down 46-42 with 11:39 to go.

My God...the Ags come out in the second half and turn the ball over 4 straight times and LB scores 9 points off our TO's to take the lead...what an awful 2 minutes of basketball by the Ags!

Great half by the Ags. You can see Joe's confidence growing. He's been frustrated this season and now he's starting to shine. Go Ags!

That has to be a glitch with ESPN3. I've never seen an ESPN3 game where there is no clock or score box on the screen.

The last time I checked the score the Ags were up by 9 56-47 with 7:26 to go and they end up getting beat 65-60 so they only scored 4 points the rest of the game...wow...

I watched one Hawaii possession while the Ags were up 9. The Ags threw a soft, telegraphed pass that got picked off and then Hawwii missed a 3. Three Aggies stood absolutely flat-footed and watched the ball since no Hawaii players were immediately around them but, guess what, a Hawaii players raced in while the Ags stood there motionless and the Hawaii player snatched the ball.

When I saw that I thought the Ags may be up 9 but they could lose this game playing with that kind of lack of focus and energy. I don't think Jen Gross will be happy at all with that kind of play from the Ags.

53-47 Aggies with 7:32 to go.

No score, game time or shot clock on the screen of the ESPN3 broadcast. Makes it really hard to know what going on while watching the game...

I really don't think it's a big loss for the Aggies. We're already guard heavy and I think we have landed some guards with just as much potential. He's in for a big culture change also going from Chatsworth, CA, to Nashville.

Rivers was an excellent player but he did not play against the kind of competition that Shorts has.

I think the A's will stay and their are plans for a new waterfront stadium. The Warriors will be moving to a new arena, The Chase Center, in SF as well. Those are two big loses for Oakland.

Absolutely tragic. Natalie Corona was only 22 years old and came from a police officer family. She got her Davis badge in August and was only a few weeks into her first solo duties. This is the first police office killing in Davis since 1959.

I was thinking the same thing last night. His determination and work ethic are as good as it gets. He's set the standard for future Aggie PG's. It's a pure joy to watch him play the game.

The Raiders being anywhere but Oakland is a travesty.

I will say this: TJ Shorts II is the best PG ever to wear an Aggie uniform and I've watched the Ags since 1972. He's absolutely incredible.

Ags lose 71-69 in OT. Great effort by the Ags but I really did not like that last possession by the Ags when TJ just dribbled the clock down and then missed a long jumper. That's not his bread and butter. Drive the ball and either get a close shot or foul or kick it out for a 3.
