Les was humble and proud of his team's effort and noted how proud he was of them for battling through a lot of key injuries that took its toll on the team late in the season and in the BW Tournament. He congratulated Dedrique Taylor and Fullerton on win their while Taylor said nothing about the Aggies.

Rocak tied the all time Aggie record for blocks tonight.

We got within 6 with about 2 minutes to go.

Rebounding and FT's were the difference in this game. Fullerton made 38 of 45 FT's compared to our 17 of 22. We were out rebounded by a whooping 52-30. Cooper and Stokes are both good rebounders and we really missed having them.

Jim Les is one of the best coaches in the west. We do need to bring in some talent with size to be able to match up with some of the better teams in the MW.

They certainly look tired. Not having Cooper and Stokes is taking its toll with these back to back games.

I actually think that calling so many touch really hurt the Aggies since Baker and Norris both fouled out halfway though the 4th and Norris got her 5th quickly after having to sit for quite a while with 4 fouls. They gave her the 5th foul just seconds after she reentered the game and it was a ridiculous touch foul where the offensive played barely bumped into her. These officials had quick whistles. Of course, when Riverside began fouling in the final 2 minutes, the quick whistles benefited the Ags with made FT's.

Aggies move on to the semis 70-59. Player of the game: Avery Sussex.

Norris and Baker have both fouled out. This officiating crew is unbelievably bad. Ags lead 57-53 with 3:30 to go.

45-39 Ags at the end of the 3rd quarter.

Riverside leads the Aggies 33-32 with 5:44 to go in the 3rd. So many TO's by the Ags.

I wonder what coaches in the Mountain West will be as hot headed as Joe Pasternack and Russ Turner?

The Gauchos won't miss playing the Aggies in the Big West anymore. That was our 3rd win over them this season and the 7th straight win stretching back 3 years. Who woulda' thought....

This team really has grit. They just battle and battle without Cooper and Stokes. This was a very physical game and the Ags kept their composure, played smart and didn't let down when SB kept coming back.

Bummer!
