This one was very "stressful" so you did yourself well to not watch it. Watching a 29 point lead slowly dissolve into a 2 point deficit over 16 minutes was not fun at all. It was actually kind of surreal. I kept telling myself that we would stop the bleeding when the lead got cut in half...then under 10...and then under 5...it just kept going!

True blue Aggie...

As I watching the first half I was telling myself the same thing: "this is a pretty good basketball team." The second half made me wonder if we're just going to be highly inconsistent: very good one game or one half and not very good the next time out.

What did he have to say about scoring one FG in the final 16 minutes of regulation while blowing a 29 point lead?

I wasn't able to watch the game live so I just finished watching the replay. Wow...in the first half, the Aggie defense was exceptional and the offense was crisp with good ball movement. We shot 57% overall including 4-7 from 3 and lead 43-21 going into the break.

We came out and built the lead to 29 with 16 minutes to go leading 52-23. In the final 16 minutes we managed to blow the 29 point lead by getting out scored 43 -14. Boston took the lead by 2 with 24 seconds to go. We were lucky we didn't lose the game in regulation but managed to get to overtime.

We made one FG in the final 16 minutes while shooting 17% overall and 0-9 from 3. To make it even worse we were clunking FT's left and right. It was perhaps as poor a half of basketball that I've ever seen from an Aggie team in a long time and it was really hard to watch.

Johnson and Beasley saved the Ags from an embarrassing loss. Pepper couldn't get anything going. He ended up with 5 points on 1-12 shooting including only 1-8 from 3 and had 5 TO's. Even his layups were rolling of the rim.

I'm not sure what we can take away from this win. Losing a 29 point lead in the final 16 minutes does not bode well for us. Was it just a fluke? I sure hope so. That was nearly one of the worst loses in Aggie history.

Link to the live stream on youtube at 11 a.m.:

Ags win it 74-68.

59-53 Aggies ar the end of the 3rd quarter.

The Aggies are battling and have a 2 point lead at the half 38-36. Turner leading the way with 14 points on 4-6 shooting from 3.

Hopefully! Milwaukee beats BU 67-46.

They lost to SEMO 63-52 in their first game yesterday also.

I wonder if we could ever see both of them with 30+ in the same game. 99% unlikely but it sure would be fun to watch!

Anigwe is back to not being able to stay on the floor for any significant minutes because of fouls. He fouled out with only 12 minutes on the floor so we had to go small ball. Rocak has size but has trouble stopping the dribble drives. I like the defensive effort by Losé but his shot needs a lot of work...a line drive with little arc and little chance.

The one positive I saw was Adebayo actually scoring some points. He had 13 on 5-6 shooting. It was nice to see him score in close with a pump fake rather than throwing up a wild shot. Hopefully, that will give him some confidence. We could use some offensive production from him.

The Aggies escape with a 73-71 UGLY win. How do you win 21 TO's and 11-24 FT shooting? This was perhaps the worse FT shooting I've ever seen by an Aggie team and many of the misses were clunkers...not even close. Wow! Pepper is the only player you can feel confident about at the line.

Montana fans were booing their own team when they fell behind early. Very classy fans too!

This game could easily have been a double digit lead for the Ags at the half. It seems like Pepper is the only player who can consistently hit any FT's too.

32-32 at the half. This was not a good half of basketball for the Aggies. They had SEMO on their heels with an 11 point lead and then got sloppy and threw the ball away numerous times and lost the lead. Poor FT shooting, 5-10, and 13 TO's. Very unfocused play by the Aggies.

Ags blow the lead with lackadaisical play leading to TO's and fouls. Tied at 27.

Ags 25-14 with 7:13 to go in the half. Anigwe picks up his second foul in just 8 minutes on the floor.

Super sloppy passing by the Aggies. 7 TO's already.
