Hallelujah! Power just came back on after 51 hours. I'll be able to watch the Aggie men and women play tomorrow!

Thanks for posting this, Russ. I've been trying to put up a thread for every men's and women's games but, I live in Sacramento, and we lost power nearly 43 hours ago and are still down. My wife and I have been camping out inside, reading by headlamp and trying to stay warm. House temp is down to 55 degrees.

This will be a tough game for sure. It's always difficult to win on the island. The Ags are generally pretty solid defensively but the offense is very inconsistent. We need to play well on both ends of the floor to keep this one competitive.

Absolutely, 6th, it's a proven formula!

I love the way the Aggies have always searched out those athletes that fly under the radar. Those kids often play with a chip on their shoulders with something to prove.

He sounds like a kid with great potential that hasn't been fully realized yet and that would probably keep the big boys away especially is his accuracy is questionable. He sounds like a perfect fit for a program that has always welcomed diamonds in the rough though.

Like you said, DrMike, this was a great bounce back not only for starting off slow but for coming off a forgettable outing at Riverside also. I would have thought this road series would have gone just the opposite way with a win at UCR and a loss at CSUN.

The Matadors are as talented as anyone in the league. Reggie has loaded up on experienced transfers but I don't think they are playing up to the talent level that they have. On the other hand, Les does a good job of getting the most out of the players he has. They always play hard and, for the most part, play smart. The thing I like the most about them is that they seem to be very resilient and don't hang their heads too often. If we can hold serve at home and get at least a split on the road, we can be near the top come the end of league.

I'm sure Siler has heard it all over the years about his carrot top and I'm sure he gets a good bit of trash talk at the college level. His tough play at CSUN was key for us. He's a scrappy competitor as is Mikey Henn. They both bring a blue collar mentality to the game for us.

Hawai'i will be a challenge on Saturday. It's always tough to win on the island but I wouldn't bet against us in this one.

Welcome to our forum, Toke69! It's great to have someone like you on our forum who was able to witness Aggie athletics from way back. I began watching Aggie basketball in the fall of 1972 in Hickey Gym. Ham was one of the most colorful basketball coaches the game ever saw and he loved the Aggies through and through. Those games were special especially when Ham really got fired up and tossed his towel into the stands and even, at times, went into the stands and sat with the fans while chewing on his towel.

I'm a big fan of Aggie basketball and the memories of Ham and his Aggie teams playing in Hickey Gym are special to me. We've come a long way since those days but Ham and his players laid the foundation for the players and coaches that followed them.

Glad to have you aboard and I look forward to your thoughts about the game with Hawai'i.

I listened to Coach Les in the post-game interview and he talked about how proud he was of how, after last night's debacle and not getting off to a good start in this game, how the Ags just refused to lose. I've got to agree with him too. As an avid fan, I get frustrated when the game gets really sloppy and we saw quite a bit of that in these two games, but the Ags did not hang their heads and just flat out ground out the win. It tells you something about the character of the team and that's great to see.

Good job Ags and Coach Les!

Aggies overcome an awful first half and nip CSUN 71-68 behind Bryton Lemar's 20 points. The Ags were able to win with Chima on the bench most of the game in foul trouble and then with JT and Henn also fouling out.

It was ugly in the first half but the Ags gutted this one out.

Good job Ags!

Chima picks up his 3rd and 4th fouls in less than 30 seconds into the 2nd half. Then the Ags commit more fouls and continue to turn the ball over. This is really awful basketball!

Teresa Gould locked Les in for 5 more years.

Ags trail by one 31-30 at the half. Ugly basketball game with 26 TO's by both teams. JT and White both have 3 fouls and, with Garrison Goode injured, we're thin. Onybalu and Funtarov getting some PT.

8 minutes into the game and the Aggies' mighty offense has scored 4 points!

They just announced the Aggie game will start on ESPN3 online stream until the TTU-OU game is over.

Looks like the Aggie game will be in progress before ESPNU starts the broadcast since the Texas Tech @ Oklahoma game is running a bit long. You can probably start watching on the ESPNU online stream if that happens and then pick it up on tv after the Texas Tech @ Oklahoma game ends.

The Aggies win 81-65 and are now 3-1 in the BWC and 12-5 overall. This was a nice win for the Aggies over a very competitive CSUN team. Dani Nafekh led the Ags with 20, Morgan Bertsch had 18 and 6 boards, Pele Gianotti had 14 and 6 rebounds and freshman Sophia Song had 10.

The Aggies hit the road next week for games at Fullerton and a big rematch with Long Beach State.

Aggies stretch the lead to 12 after 3 quarters 66-54.

The Aggies are locked in an entertaining, fast-paced game with CSUN and are leading the Matadors 46-40 at the half. The Ags are shooting 56% overall but the Matadors have kept pace with good 3 point shooting. The Aggies need to tighten up their defensive pressure in the second half.
