    Actually getting dicey and now Hall and Trpcic are back in
  • WBB 2021: Feb 26/27 Cal Poly (11-7, 7-5 Big West) at UC Davis (7-1, 6-0 Big West)
    57-45 with 1:10 left. Hall and Trpcic have already taken a bow.

    Announcer says it's unknown if the seniors will return now but the academic logistics may play a role
  • WBB 2021: Feb 26/27 Cal Poly (11-7, 7-5 Big West) at UC Davis (7-1, 6-0 Big West)
    Cal Poly is doing everything right to win this game except they keep leaving Turner wide open

    I shouted when Gibb got her bucket off a great pass. Sorry neighbors

    Great stuff.

    I wonder if with the ceremony today we just got indirect confirmation that the seniors won't be back next year. We'll miss them, but it's understandable

    Huge upset, did not expect NDSU to get crushed like that. Or lose at all. Or win by less than a possession...

    I wonder if the local channels for say the Montanas are an impediment to ESPN deals. I imagine the ongoing TV deals might actually be worth something beyond the exposure they don't need out there
  • WBB 2021: Feb 26/27 Cal Poly (11-7, 7-5 Big West) at UC Davis (7-1, 6-0 Big West)
    Not a margin of victory you really expect with 22 missed threes
  • WBB 2021: Feb 26/27 Cal Poly (11-7, 7-5 Big West) at UC Davis (7-1, 6-0 Big West)
    I love letting the bench close out the game when (for a minute at least) the Mustangs were still going all-out. Bench got quality minutes vs LBSU too

    Generally one would expect that one of the top 3 pt-shooting teams would be in trouble if they shoot this abysmally from the arc, but the Ags are making it work and didn't even seem that flustered.

    Feels like Trpcic can get to the line or score at will once she gets withing 15 feet of the rim or so
  • WBB 2021: Feb 26/27 Cal Poly (11-7, 7-5 Big West) at UC Davis (7-1, 6-0 Big West)
    Cal Poly feels scarier than LBSU. Which given their head to head record that doesn't seem like coincidence -- Poly might just be the better team
  • WBB 2021: Feb 26/27 Cal Poly (11-7, 7-5 Big West) at UC Davis (7-1, 6-0 Big West)
    Turner makes a three in first 20 seconds, though Cal Poly ties it back up.

    Apparently there's a new video board? Have yet to see it on stream though
  • WBB 2021: Feb 26/27 Cal Poly (11-7, 7-5 Big West) at UC Davis (7-1, 6-0 Big West)
    Overhead on stream pregame: "It works. IT WORRRKKSSS!!!"

    Sounds like the sound crew is having a bit of a Young Frankenstein moment with getting the stream set up
  • MBB: UC Davis at Cal Poly, Friday, Feb. 26 at 2:00
    34-25 at the half, not bad in the end. I think announcers said Ags had a 16-0 run at one point that kinda blew the game open
  • UCLA schedules FCS (HBCU) opponents
    So now it's... just USC and Notre Dame who have avoided FCS games? With a very close call for USC ;)
  • Coach Hawkins toughest test to date?

    I still don't know how to really categorize the 2019 season.

    On one hand, the team almost never looked like they were playing up to potential. On the other, they totally looked like they belonged on the field with NDSU.

    All the losses were to Pac-12 or FCS playoff teams if I remember right. And they were a stupid false start away from beating UND and having an even record against one of the FCS' toughest schedules. Still, have to think the 2018 Aggies would have won most of those games.

    I was under the impression that the seeds were a little malleable due to regionality, but even in normal years there were still seeds. For example, the Ags were officially on the 15 line that year but probably bumped a few places below where they should have been so they could face 2 seed Stanford. However, that same first-round site also had 10th-seeded Auburn playing a game in Palo Alto, so I think it's clear that at some point seeds overcome regionality.

    Have to think that this year region will be irrelevant, or at least not positive, when choosing first round matchups.

    Really good for the 4-peat, bad for NCAAT seeding unfortunately. I'm holding that if Long Beach won out (now academic) we could potentially have grabbed a bid and decent seed even with a loss to LBSU in the final. Now it's business as usual and the Ags' season comes down to outplaying everyone in a single week in March

    Edit: 5-peat, my mistake. I'm losing count.

    Just watched Oregon lose a 63-61 heartbreaker to Stanford. Had every chance to win it, but then the Oregon PG slipped and got called for a travel with 2 seconds left.

    After years of tempering expectations and "settling" with winning the BWC and WNIT early rounds, it's just so encouraging to see that Oregon game on our record making us look like we belong among the top. An OoC game would be great now but like abridge said there's gotta be some hesitation now for teams to schedule UCD

    It seems like they took steps to make this policy seem reasonable on its surface, especially in the context of not wanting to reward teams that get positive COVID tests or anything. But considering this is the conference of a team that has been so disadvantaged by following rules that it's drawn national media attention, the setup definitely comes off as draconian.

    On the Men's side, dropping a few seeds could be very annoying and the difference between getting to the finals or not, especially if the team has a strong back half of the season and kinda demonstrates that the early results were rust-related. On the Women's side, it would be a very bad look if LBSU wins it over the Ags with more losses, given this weekend's results.

    Wait. This is in the tiebreaker section, but the adjusted winning percentage writeup makes it sounds like this procedure will be used across the board, not just for ties.

    This could be really bad news for the Aggie Women depending on how the final average number of games played shakes out and how the BWC handles dropping multiple data points on the high end. On paper this isn't the most unfair strategy in the world, but adding any losses to a team that's increasingly likely to to go undefeated or 1-loss in conference is really eyebrow raising.
