Fantastic game. I've been complaining for years that, while I don't expect victories against the top Pac-12 teams, we need to be competitive on a regular basis. This is what I've been looking for. Yes, we ran out of gas in the 4th, but overall, the team really played well. We got open shots, played solid defense and were in it down to the end. Nice job Aggies!

Yeah that is my understanding. Plus, when you figure that the overall record doesn’t really matter with all the cancelled games, why not play all the players. Sure you might lose a game now but it’ll pay off down the road. I wonder if our only senior, Koehler stays next year.

We’ll good overall game. Obviously got a little shaky there for a bit but you got to love the determination to finish off strong.

BGA I agree with the number of guys getting in the game. Pehka was aggressive but just needs more court time. Same with McGill. Seems like they both will develop into good rotation players in a few years.

Should be a festive bus ride home!

ha!!

When Fuller is rolling he’s very fun to watch. I suspect Csun will double him when he gets the ball on the block as they didn’t seem to have anyone that could matchup with him one on one. It’ll be up to him to make the right pass out of it and for someone to hit an open three!! Not having Squire really hurt on the defensive end. Ba did ok against Starks but Squires strength would give us another option.

Hmm, a point and a half, huh? Like you said, our track record on Friday's hasn't been stellar. It'll be good to have Herenda on the mike for ESPN. He's knowledgeable about the BW and is fairly even between the two teams. The guys from UCSD a few weeks ago weren't bad at the in game call, except when they broke into song (no I'm not kidding).

that’s a good question. I assume it will be streamed somewhere, probably on Pluto, but we’ll see as it gets closer

Looks like we will be in local tv for the home games!

If anyone is interested in learning more about what is being done to deal with the homeless issue in Davis specifically, go to https://daviscommunitymeals.org/ They started off in the 90's providing meals to the low income in Davis and have grown to now provide affordable housing, transitional housing, and many more services. I've worked with them in the past and it is a very good group of caring individuals.

Yeah we’ll definitely be battling up hill. It will be interesting to watch our bigs play against size, rather then what UCSD and UCSB brought.

That's a good question. I know that in normal years, a limited (1 or 2) games against non-D1 schools count in your record. Any more are considered scrimmages. My gut feeling is that all 3 of the games you mentioned will count towards the required 13, but I definitely don't know that for sure. The women added this weekends game mostly to get above that minimum number also. Also not sure if BW tournament games count towards the min (I think they do, but again, not sure).

Hoping we come out a play better on Friday...we seem to be struggling on the front end of these back to backs. I must admit that I haven't really watched any CSUN this year. They lost practically their whole team from last year, so I know expectations weren't too high. If Manjon and Pepper continue to play like they did on Saturday, and maybe add in a healthy Fuller (hopefully?) we might be able to put one or two in the win column.

[reply="Russ Bowlus;31367" that’s good to hear. Like you said I’m sure they are trying to line up a game or two for that last week of the season so they can get enough games to qualify for the big dance if they win the BW tournament.

Koehler missed two free throws down the stretch that might have sealed the game in regulation. In OT UCSB came out more aggressive but the ags fought back. It basically came down to UCSB executing just a bit better. Overall I’m really pleased with the way the Ags played Saturday. If we can build on that, and get some folks healthy, we should cause some problems for teams in Vegas. As for Fueller he dressed but didn’t warm up so there is something going on. He did walk around on the bench so I’m hoping it’s not too big. I didn’t see Hogland dressed so that’s obviously not good. And Marsh said that Adebayo’s eye injury from last week is still hurting him.

Agree a “W” today is not that likely. Looking to see a more consistent effort throughout the game. Anyone know why Fueller didn’t play? I saw him on the “bench” so it didn’t look like too big an injury. We could use his offense.

I swear if we would have made all our open layups, we would have won by double digits easy. I thought Sage had two blocks...oh well.

A good second half for the Ags. The way this season has gone, we just need to get better a long the way. Hall was the lynchpin today. As for Gray, yeah she was down for a good 5 minutes in the first half. She was driving kind of stopped and the knee gave out. I could be wrong, but I'd be surprised if it's not an ACL tear.

Pretty sure Gray tore her ACL. Non contact injury. Seen too many of these. Really a shame for her.

Hey Freg. I always look forward to the UCSB games. I'd like to think that this weekend should be good contests, but with no crowd and such a long layoff, my expectations are very modest. I'm just hoping that we look better than we did last week. We didn't go very deep with our bigs (Koehler and Anigwe were the only ones that got any serious time), so I'm a little curious if Hogland, Murphy and McGill get some time. As for Shaw, he is getting some consistent minutes off the bench. He's super athletic and has a good feel on the defensive side, but he does struggle on offense. We'll probably see a variety of players trying to guard McLaughlin, including Shaw. Of course we switched on every one last week so it'll be interesting to see how Les goes about it this week.

Good luck watching the game on our stream. It can be a little shaky at times.
