The Ags scored 4 points in the 2nd quarter. The Ags were asleep at the wheel until they turned up the defense with the press. The offense is totally out of sync though. The Ags need to regroup and play like they are capable.

Riverside leads the Ags 16-13 after the 1st quarter.

The women play UC Riverside today at 12 noon. Live TV coverage on ESPN3.

Survive and play again...

We've been waiting on Joe and he's been showing up in recent games.

Nice!

Bring us luck, Obda!

Ha...they went down fighting...literally! :yikes:

I agree, 7 point favorites is too much for a game like this. I think today's game will be a tough one. Riverside played us tough twice and the neutral court and noon start in an big, empty arena could be a factor.

I'm hoping the Ags continue to surprise us and play well today. I just ordered up the Fox Sports package so I can watch the tournament games.

:up: :up: :up:

I think we have won 10 straight over CSUN and Theus has been at CSUN for 5 seasons so maybe he hasn't beaten us. I'm not sure if they may have beaten us in the BW Tournament in his first season though.

Not sure why the AD was fired.

It looks like they're cleaning house; they fired their AD as well.

The coaches show live is over but you can still watch it on UC Davis Athletics Facebook Page. Just click the link in the first post above.

+1!! That's a much needed improvement.

You are absolutely right about having quality depth but sometimes you just need a another body. We're just thin overall with only 9 players but what's even tougher is that we have lost 2 big men: Chima and Jackson. In the LB 2OT game Goode, Schneider and John had all fouled out and Shorts, Onybalu and Russell each had 4 fouls. We were close to ending up with 4 or even 3 players on the floor. Having another player on the bench, however inexperienced, would have been good to have.

Yes, Jackson came back for one game and then disappeared again. Strom will not be an option at all since he is now wearing a cast on his wrist.

Jackson was getting a few minutes early in the season and less it seems as the season progressed. He's a very, strong, athletic player but he did not look comfortable on the floor the few times I saw him. We know Les like defenders and Jackson has the size and strength to give us a tough body inside and help give Goode and John a respite. Colin Russell is looking better all the time as he logs more minutes but Jackson could add a bit to our depth in a pinch. Since he has been out so much lately and has not been seen with the team recently, I wonder if things may not be working out for him.

Ran them out of our house....more clarification. :cool:

Jen Gross is the Women's Big West Coach of the Year.

Frist team All Big West: Morgan Bertsch

Second team All Big West: Pele Gianotti and Rachel Nagel

Honorable Mention: Dani Nafekh

All Freshman Team: Cierra Hall


From the Big West website:

Gross led UC Davis to back-to-back Big West titles, the first time since 2007-09 that a program has won consecutive outright Big West titles. The Aggies equaled their program record for conference wins (14) and are one win shy of tying the school record for victories (25) set last season. The team has also won its last 14 home games against Big West foes and this season became the quickest to 20 wins in program Division I history. Under Gross, UCD has now posted back-to-back 20 win seasons for the second time in program DI history and the first since the 2009-11. The squad has also clinched its second straight postseason appearance, earning at least a bid to the WNIT. Gross is now the first coach to win back-to-back Coach of the Year awards since UC Santa Barbara legend Mark French accomplished the feat in 1999-01.
