    The dream season continues tonight at 7 pm when the Aggies travel to Long Beach State. The 49ers sit solidly in the cellar of the Big West currently and the Ags will be heavy favorites to get their 8th conference victory and 18th win overall. Sometimes games like this can be a trap game for a team like the Aggies. It's uncharacteristic for the 49ers to have a 2-18 record and a win over the Aggies would make their season at this point. The Ags, on the other hand, need to take care of business and not overlook the 49ers.

    With their two wins last week the Aggies moved up one spot in the College Insiders Women's Mid Major Poll to #7 in the nation. They have been ranked as high as #5 this year. The problem the Aggies have now is that their rpi continues to drop even though they are winning because the rpi's of the other Big West teams are not very good. So the Ags need to continue to win and, hopefully, run the table to improve their chances for a better seed should they make it into the NCAA Tournament. Nevertheless, they need to take it one game at a time and keep their focus on the game at hand.

    They need to have a ranking of the 25 worst teams in the country. What a great motivator. You don't want to be on that list. Guys will try to pick up women in bars with, "Hey baby, I DON'T play basketball for "school name here"..."

    The Ags are locked in a battle with the 49ers 31-31 at the half. The big TO bug has struck the Aggies again. The Ags have committed 16 TO's already...wow! Jen Gross must be pulling her hair out when her team plays like this.

    On the flip side, they are rebounding well. Go figure.

    Good third quarter. LBSU with 8 fouls put Davis on the line early.

    Put the game away in the last few minutes with some well timed threes.

    Great rebounding: 42-19

    I was watching the men's game but this must have been a crazy game for the Aggies. The Ags commit 27 TO's but still win the game. Yes, the Ags rebounded very well and dominated the boards 42-19 but, because of the TO's, we actually took 12 fewer shots that LB. The great rebounding was essentially nullified since we would turn around and give the ball back to the 49ers.

    Looking at the box score it appears that Cierra Hall caught fire in the second half and ended up with 17 points on 6-6 shooting and 3-5 from the line and pulled down 7 boards as well. Great game for her! Morgan Bertsch had 22, Pele Gianotti 17 and Rachel Nagel 10. The Ags played will when they didn't turn the ball over and had an amazing 22 assists and shot 58% overall.

    Turnovers have been a problem for the Aggies especially since the conference games have started. Rarely can a team give up 27 TO's and win and we won't be able to do that against the better teams in the league let alone a very good team in post-season play. Turnovers have become the Achilles heel of this team and, unless we find a fix, this team could end up disappointed by the end of the season.

    I noticed also that a lot of the TOs came off of rebounds and short careless passes inside. We should just hold the ball and let the opposition players clear before throwing the ball around. More rebounds should not equal more TOS. But, all around a very good away game for the Ags.
