There was an interesting interaction between an official and the UCD cheer squad who were sitting along the baseline in the blue area. He chased them off - telling them they needed to be behind the white line. He threatened to stop play unless they moved, which they did. I saw them talking with Rocko about it. In the 2nd half they moved to the other end of the court but eventually left before the end of the game.

So I looked up the rule. There's supposed to be "restraining line" 6' back from the baseline. During play no one is to be between that restraining line and the baseline. The backboard's support structure's leading edge is 6' from the baseline. I'm watching the women's game and the restraining line clearly marked on the court at Fullerton.

I've never seen this called before. Maybe it's becoming a player safety thing.

Sevilla was wearing his ankle braces again tonight. He hasn't in the past couple of games, I think.

Someone remind me why we want to go BCS. It makes no sense. None of it makes sense. We're in the business of making talent for the big guys. We can enjoy being competitive on the FCS landscape. But the huge fundraising requirement of FCS? Really? This is a Good Thing? Why? Let's live within our means not chase money where we will always be minor players in a small market.

If UC Davis' reputation comes from football then I don't want any part of an association with the university. Our rep comes from academics and outcomes. Graduating student athletes not semi-pro athletes - or even professional athletes.

Good win for the Aggie women. Bennett seems to have returned her 3pt shot back to form. All five starters were in double figures. Norris had 11 rebounds in the first half!

A quiet 925: no band, no cheer squad and no Woodstocks until midway through the 1st half.

I'm firmly of the opinion that children should not be allowed to be the floor moppers. Putting athlete safety in the hands of children makes no sense. It should be a trained adult who takes the job seriously and knows the details of how and when to do their job. I've seen some of our adults who could hardly stay away and who didn't appear to know their task.

The TV feed was bad in the 2nd half - and there were no 2nd half stats for . . . Reasons.

With about 6:18 left in the 2nd half Rawlings was on a break and made a move to pass to a player in the corner - but with an amazing fake took the ball to the hoop. It was right in front of me and it was just amazing - got oohs and aahs from the crowd. The video picks up again just before it happens. not as dramatic in the video as it was from courtside. My son and I ate it up with a spoon.

The first half was enh but the Ags’ intensity was much better after the break.

Now for the stuff that counts.

That is more poetic but spot on with what we felt. UNC played a very physical game.

I also think that Norris might not be 100%. The way she was moving and shooting free throws didn't look comfortable.

It has screamed up to 43 degrees here about a mile from the stadium. I'm not believing we'll come close to 50 today.

There was not tule fog here in Davis during game time. I'm guessing there won't be any tonight, either. But it'll be cold and damp.

That must have been some 4th quarter. The replay isn't available yet on ESPN+ but I'll rack it up when it is.

Great to see the big Sony cameras and box lenses in place to cover the game, camera operators out testing the field of view, huge production truck hooking up to the electronic infrastructure. I’ve never seen this much great equipment at an Aggie game.

I wonder how well they’ll cover a football disappearing into the descending fog….

No band - they went to the tree lighting downtown. I guess they got paid for that so they blew off the game? Bet they show up for football though so they can be on national TV.

I'm deeply angry that "Bob Hamilton Court" is written beneath the announcers and not where it can be read. When the court is repainted this MUST be fixed.

I understand that there are no indoor restrooms at the Sac State basketball facilities - it's porta potties outside.

What????

Good win - 50 years and then some.

We've needed better traffic control for years. We ride our bikes to the game. I'm absolutely certain that we were home before, had we driven, we'd have made it out of the parking lot.

They don't change the programming for the signals for the games so there are unreasonably long waits for traffic flow that isn't there.

How knew having good crowds could cause such problems - but great problems they are!

Are things better for football?

There's an concession area at the south end of the court behind the home basket with tables. It gets a reasonable amount of use but Woodstocks, that operates it, isn't up for the kind of crowd we had Friday night.

There were changes mandated (I'm told) by the move to Mountain West next year. One change involved the student-side seating on the east side of the court. There used to be steps that lead from the court up into the stands. Those were hazardous to the players: sharp edges. I've seen a couple of close calls just last year for both the men and women - so changing that up seemed like a smart decision. But it did change the seating plan.

I have no idea how to improve concessions. There are concession built into the facility which were used in the early days of the Rec Hall but are now unused. No current concession is up to the demands of a nearly full facility.

Greg Wong and Darius Graham called the game. Greg calls the Aggie women's games as well as baseball.

Here are some snaps from the game. The officials' rotation in the 2nd half seemed hell bent on keeping me from watching the game.

They gave away coupons to the kids at the women's game. I wonder if a lot of them brought their parents back because they had a great time?

Two great games on Hamilton Court in sequence. Now if only Bob Hamilton Court was painted on the court where it could be read. This MUST be fixed when we join Mountain West.
