I saw that UH games right before the BWT too. I wonder if we go straight from Hawaii to Anaheim. Looking forward to see what the OOC schedule brings us. Go Ags!

I'm a little surprised that the women have no OCC games since the men have 7 scheduled.

I believe they're still finalizing that part of their schedule. Since fans will likely not be admitted to most, if not all,of the out-of-conference games it's not as crucial they be given advance notice.

I am disappointed that Hawaii is on the schedule at all. It ruins the bus-only schedule, and the women'ss team will have to fly there with regular people who can get them sick. Also, Hawaii has been one of the states that has intentionally made it more difficult for travellers to visit so it would be funny if the Rainbow Warriors were forced to sit at home and play against themselves, or they could fill their schedule with Hawaii Pacific, Chaminade, and Hawaii-Hilo.

Sac State, St. Mary's, Cal, Stanford, and Santa Clara or SJSU would make for nice OOC schedule with no significant travel...

Pacific and San Francisco would also be close opponents.

Yup! Plenty to choose from.

Coaches and media polls pick UCD to repeat as conference champs.

Cierra Hall on both all-conference preseason teams, as well.

Let's go Ags!

Well, here's the first program to opt out for this season:

Ivy League just cancelled winter sports, including M/WBB.

I hope the Aggies are able to schedule some non-conference games. Only 18 games now with CSUN out.

and those Csun games were at the pavilion.

I just saw an article in the Enterprise that says the Ags will be announcing their non-conference opponents soon and they will open with San Francisco in the Pavilion. Still, it's a bummer to lose 2 home conference games.

OOC schedule is out: USF, Simpson, @Sac State, @Stanford, and Northern Arizona.

well not a ton of ooc games, but I like the competition. Should help get the new pieces to work together.

Big West preview show on ESPN.com today at noon Pacific:

I happened to listen into it. Not a whole lot of info. Aggies are a machine, with the longest tenured coaching staff in D1. UCI is probably next, with CP being the "dark horse".

A week from tip-off. Go Ags!

Sage got a nod as a player to watch, but yeah--"Davis is good; great staff" and not a lot of other in-depth coverage of individual Aggies. Team game!

Interesting that a couple teams lost players to P5 teams.

Regular season champ predictions: two for UCD, one for UCI

"Random" season predictions from the panel:
1) There will be a dunk in BW WBB.
2) A guard duo will drop 15 threes in a game.
3) Tamar Inouye will get her career BW record over 0.500.

Our first chance to see the WBB is in Wednesday at 3:00

Interesting note in the Enterprise article today: the freshmen won't lose a year of eligibility by playing this year. :strong:

Does that only apply to the freshmen?

Not sure--the writer brought it up specifically in that context, but didn't explain if it was applied to the wider team.

My impression is that everyone gets an extra year of eligibility. But not sure how the scholarships work out, meaning the program would have to figure out how to spread the scholarship money between seniors with an extra year and incoming freshman. Just a guess though.

I thought that I read that NCAA had waived the scholarship limits. So just the schools have to come up with the n ew money for the extra year. Just my memory which is subject to some doubt these days.

I think basketball are full scholarships only. Could be that a senior would have to play as a walk-on if they decide to stick around.

oh yeah, that's probably right. It will be interesting to see how this all plays out.

The Ags were in negotiation with Santa Clara for a game in the second week of December but SC has had to quarantine for two weeks due to a Covid case. So the game may not be scheduled.

Aggies picked up a game against Fresno Pacific on Sunday afternoon (Dec 6).

Another chance to get on the court. I guess that’s the best we can hope for.
