    The Ags grind one out in Bakersfield. Nya Epps carried the offensive load, then Norris got going in the second half to help out. Neither Bennett nor Sussex got in the groove, which is typical of games where we struggle - seems we need 3 of the 4 hitting, or it’s a slog. Baker scored 5 in the 1st quarter, but was quiet the rest of the way.

    FT shooting was abysmal. Would've been a 15-20 pt victory with reasonable FT shots.

    W is a W, though!

    edit: looked at the box score again--19/28 wasn't SO bad, but still...feels like 80% should be the floor for a college team's FT shooting percentage.

    Below are the first two bullets from the game recap on the UCD website. Great examples of the absolutely atrocious writing we’re continually treated to. Don’t even get me started with what’s wrong with them.

    The first period was a defensive battle, with both teams putting 15 points each on the board.

    After seeing Epps take the first six points of the contest, the Roadrunners responded with back-to-back buckets to push them up 13-6.

    Embarrassing! If athletics is the “front porch” of the university, shouldn’t our web pages demonstrate that we employ the kind of competent, educated, people that UCD supposedly graduates?

    I don't think a human is writing these.

    Then they need to upgrade to an intelligent AI platform.
