The Ags stretch the lead to 40-18 at the half. They are playing great defense and shot 55%. Morgan Bertsch led the Aggies with14.

Aggies started off the game ice cold but warmed up late in the first quarter and take the lead 19-10 going into the 2nd.

Jim Les was understandably very happy after the game in the post-game radio interview. He said he gave the game ball to the Aggie trainer for working overtime to give the players massages and ice treatment in order to help get them as fresh as they could be after 3OT game at Poly on Thursday. He also said that after the 2 home loses he emphasized that the team just needed to get back to "who we are" which is a team that leads with defense first. I think we saw a great example of that today.

It was interesting listening to the Gauchos' coach, Joe Pasternak, after the game. He said he thought his team came out flat and was tired. Maybe that was the case but if anyone should "have been tired" it would be the Aggies. They have played 5 OT's in their last 3 road games and every one of their last 5 games without Chima have been closely contested. This game was a real tribute to the gutsy character of this team.

Greg Wong calls the Aggie women's games on KDVS. He does an outstanding job...very professional and paints and accurate and fast, play-by-play call of the action. It's well worth your time to tune in and give him a listen.. I wonder how long he'll stay at KDVS as good as he is.

I thought the big difference in this game and the loss in Davis was our defense. We had a lot of defensive breakdowns in Davis and gave up too many easy buckets in the paint when players failed to rotate and help out. Today we played defense as well as we've played all year and, when this team plays defense like that, we make it very tough on the opponent and put ourselves in a position to win.

Another difference is that the team has had more time adjust to playing without Chima now and it shows. The ball movement and shot selection today was exceptional. Combine that with good defense and we're a pretty good team even without our big man.

Great win Ags!

Wow...offensive onslaught!

That was a nice half of basketball by the Aggies. If they can keep this up and not let the Gauchos get on a big run, we have a chance. Go Ags!

Great start for the Aggies!

50% from 3 tonight even with Siler going 0-5. Michael Onybalu had a career high 25 points. Total team win tonight.

I hope the Big West Conference gets some money back from their tv broadcast provider. This happens all the time!

Ags win 92-84 in 3OT!!!

70-70 going to 2OT

And the Big West TV freezes up again....ugh!

64-64 headed for OT

We must have outstanding defense in every game to have a chance without Moneke in the lineup.

The Ags explode in the 2nd half and win going away 79-49.

Nope. I tried to connect through the Poly website also and no luck. The Big West feed must be down.

Totally agree with your post, Zander. I would add Marly Anderson to that list of outstanding seniors on the team. It will be sad to see these four leave. They have had a lot to do with the continued rise of Aggie Women's Basketball.

From the little I have been able to find out about our new recruits, it seems like Jen Gross has reloaded for next year as well. It will be fun to see how all the new players come together. The bar has been set high now and it's up to each successive team to raise it higher.

31-23 Aggies at the half.

Ags lead 14-12 at the end of the first quarter.
