40-33 Sac at the half.

Austin Patterson hit all 4 of his 3’s for Sac. He scored a ton of points in HS at Sonora, I think and we offered him. I remember seeing him at some Aggie games but he ended up at Wofford for a year and then he entered the portal. I thought we might go after him then but he ended up at Sac. He’s a deadly shooter.

He’s 2-5 so far. Ags are digging themselves a hole. Down 39-30

18-16 Sac with 11:30 to go in the half.

There were at least 8 missed layups.

67-45 Sac - Final. Turner had 25 and Baker had 8. Ags shot only 28% including 1-14 from 3. There’s a lot of work to do before the conference starts

36-18 Sac at the half. Ags shooting 24%, 0-6 from 3 and 50% from the line. Combine that with inconsistent defense with Sac shooting 58% and you can see why Sac has doubled up the Aggies.

20-10 Sac at the end of the first. Ags shooting 24% Sac 58%. Sac’s 6’5 post is having her way with the Ags

Another questionable selection to the playoffs is Delaware. They lost 4 of their last 6 games.

This is the second time for the women to play this game at the Golden1 Center. The Aggies won last year 75-46.

We're the home team tomorrow for the men.

There is no TV or online live stream for this game. Radio and Live Stats only.

This game has been played at the Golden1 Center since 2016:

2016: Aggies 81 Sac 72
2017: Aggies 64 Sac 47
2018: Sac 58 Aggies 55
2019: Sac 61 Aggies 51
2021: Sac 75 Aggies 63

I'm not surprised. Welcome to the Boards also.

I always think it's tough for the players to get dialed in on their shots in such a big arena and such a small crowd. Just something about the vastness of the place when the seats a mostly empty that changes the depth perception of the shooters. Maybe driving to the basket is the best way to deal with it!

Castles, Gilliam and King all went out with injuries. I don't think any of them returned.

My wife and I will be there. It would be great to sweep both the women's and the men's game.

I can't wait to for the game next year in our house.

Not too soft or you'll get dinged for strength of schedule.

Sac State - weaker FBS, middle FCS, weaker FCS
Montana State - stronger FBS, 2 weaker FCS
Idaho - 2 FBS, weaker FCS
UC Davis - strong FBS, strong FCS, weaker FCS
Griz - 1 moderate FCS, 2 weaker FCS

Generally in the Big Sky, you're getting risky if you schedule more than 1 tough OOC game. But it depends on who's on your conference schedule - UC Davis played the 4 top Big Sky teams; MSU only had to play 3. Add in that when you're scheduling a team is usually years ahead, so who knows whether they'll be tough or cupcakes by then.

It also depends on your conference - MVFC might get enough schedule strength from just conference games, other conferences might need to be more aggressive in their OOC schedule

This Sac fan believes that we will never beat them again as long as Taylor is their coach:

Another Causeway win, and similarly to the 2019, we got to enjoy their trickery and gimmicks backfiring in our favor. A double pass that went nowhere, multiple wide receiver screen passes that were blown up at the line, an absurd lateral play on a kick return late in the game that cost them a shot at the endzone on the final drive. All that 5D chess nonsense that usually worked under past regimes is costing them in arguably the most important game of the season.

Not only did this win secure a 3rd straight Causeway victory, an undefeated regular season, another BSC title, and a 2-seed in the playoffs; but most importantly it ended the season of their self proclaimed “best team in program history” and squashed what small playoff hopes they had going into Selection Sunday. Now they have all offseason to reckon with the fact that this Hornet program is far superior to theirs by every metric measurable and question what they can possibly do to come close to matching the level of success the Hornets are currently enjoying. They also have to face the realization that they may never win another Causeway so long as Coach Taylor is on our sideline.
