Kansas is the real deal. We're getting killed by their offense and defense.

We are making some terrible defensive lapses though. Those uncontested layups are Kansas is getting over and over again should not be happening against anybody. Those are mental errors by the Ags on D.

Rob Lowe?

If we're going to lose, I'm ok with losing to Kansas.

Weird, right?

Great moment for the seniors.

Super proud of this group. Thank you Ags for a great season and a historic run!

Proud of the guys, great season. We lose a lot of guys so we're going to have to put in a lot of work to get back to the level that we played this year.

Great run. That was so much fun! Let's do it again next year X-)

We were outmatched by a taller, more athletic, five star recruit team that's well coached and has future NBAers. Great first step for our program. Will hopefully help recruiting. Proud of this team. A lot of positives and things to build on. Moneke will be back next yr. He's a great centerpiece. Though we're losing 5 seniors, Schneider, Goode, Henn, Hennings back next yr. AJ John and Printup should come off red shirts. Will miss Lemar, JT, Graham, White, and Georgi. Great yr. Go Ags!

We'll also have Logan Strom and Delveion Jackson coming in, both of whom could have an impact as freshman.

EDIT: And Gio Nelson

Ya good point! On a side note, we should start putting at least a couple high major teams on the schedule. Even if they're losses, it's good to measure up. Plus it can help our rpi- win or lose.

Some mistakes, also some great athletes. I think the tempo helped Kans's. Awesome season, great kids.

We also will have TJ Shorts who is a Juco PG transfer.

Most importantly we'll have this guy back:

Absolutely agree, we need to start playing up and toughen up our SOS. The really hard part of scheduling for the Aggies is that it's practically impossible to get good teams to come and play in Davis. Our OOC home schedule was awful this year: Holy Names, William Jessop and Utah Valley.

Wanna go 2 outta 3?

It was fun. Wish we could have kept it in the 20 point range, but Kansas is Kansas. Enjoy the ride.

Yeah, it got away from us but, wow, Kansas is loaded. They were impressive and well rested going into the game. When you look at what we had to do in playing 5 tough games in 9 days with all the travel, I surprised we had anything left at all against a team that could hang with some of the bottom NBA teams. That's about as brutal as it gets.

Enterprise article on the game:

Excerpt: “I don’t want tonight and the outcome and the score to take away from what this group did,” Aggies coach Jim Les told the assembled media afterward. “They put UC Davis basketball and UC Davis on the map — nationally, internationally.

“They were just a special group.”

“We just had as an emotional locker room as I’ve ever been a part of,” said the sixth-year UCD coach. “And just we as a staff appreciating all this group gave to us all year and all the things they overcame and how they bonded together and allowed us to push them.

“They accomplished some wonderful feats that I don’t want this game to take away.”

Go the Gonzaga route. Play them on the road and beat them. Make Davis the place to go for an OOC game.

Can't be afraid to play them on the road!

I get that, 6th. I also wish we could get a decent OOC or 2 at home. Holy Names and William Jessop just doesn't cut for me.

Agree, but they aren't going to just show up because we are UCD. It has to be a plus for them RPI-wise where if they lose it won't blow up their season. Not like that right now.

Can we start with more WCC teams? Several a bus ride away.

BlueGoldAg you always make such good points. Kansas was very well rested to the point of being a little rusty at the start. A friend of mine noted that even in Dayton, the guys looked kind of worn, then traveling to Tulsa and everything. This team has a lot of heart, class and toughness. They'll go down in Aggie history along with the '98 team as one of the most memorable to put on the blue and gold of UC Davis. We're all proud of them. Fans out here in Hawaii were rooting for them to represent the Big West well and I think they did that.

From Chima's twitter account:

"Regardless of tonight, this is the best season I've ever been a part of and I'm so proud to be an Aggie. Hope we made y'all proud!"

Also this shows you what a class act Chima is: In the tunnel outside the locker room, UC Davis' Chima Moneke pulled Bill Self aside: "Go win it all coach."

Dear basketball,
Thank you for giving me life, for giving me an escape, and for picking me up when I was down.
Love always,

(Y) 100% agree with you Toke69. These kids put their hearts into it and gave us every ounce they had. Five tough games in 9 days, many hours of travel, interviews and hoopla galore and then they go up against perhaps the best team in college basketball this year to boot. What more could you ask from these kids? It's astonishing what they accomplished.

Refreshing comments from our young Aggies.
