62-56 Ags, 1:37 left

Update? Live stats isn’t working and I can’t get the pac12 app at burgers and brew

Ags stretch the lead to 10...51-41 with 4:24 to go in the 3rd quarter.

So true. The SF game was a total mess. Today has been some of the best WBB I've seen from an Aggie team. Aggressive, patient and not intimidated.

Impressive display.

It’s funny how different a team can look game to game. This is not the same Aggies that lost badly to San Fran

Lordy, what an ugly court.

Hopefully, a few more 3's will fall for the Ags in the second half. They were 5-15 in the first half. Stobbart, who is usually a very good 3 point shooter, is struggling mightily this year. At this point, she's 1 for 18 form 3 for the year.

35-34 Ducks at the half. Great defense and patience on offense by the Ags but the Oregon's size is creating problems...6'8 and 6'7 is hard to defend!

Ags playing very well. So totally different from the USF game. You can just see the high effort level. Keep it going Ags!

Ags lead 17-14 at the end of the first quarter.

Whoa...some very interesting news there. Ducks without two starters, but more importantly, Gray possibly back. If she plays, I'm sure it will be limited minutes and she'll probably be very rusty. But she can use these next few games to get ready for the BW season. Very good news!

Go Ags!!

FIRST ROADTRIP OF THE 2021-2022 SEASON!

Hello Loyal Aggie Family! We are so excited for the next month of basketball here at UC Davis. When you have experienced the level of success at the Mid-Major level that we have, we are constantly looking to challenge ourselves at the highest level.

This week we kick off a month of playing Top 25 teams: Oregon, Stanford, Washington State and Gonzaga!

Last season, we played in a nail biter against the Ducks. Up at halftime, it was a back-n-forth battle until the Ducks squeaked out a 6pt win.
Soooooo..... you better believe our UC Davis Aggies are excited for today's re-match. If you are able to tune into the game, you will note that the Ducks will have a couple of their typical starters out. PG #12 Te-Hina Paopao is still out with injury, and we got word that starting center #1 Nyara Sabally will not suit out either. So expect a shorter rotation from Oregon, as we are crossing our fingers to see #3 Campbell Gray log some minutes for us at the point guard spot.

Hopefully you can follow the action on the Pac-12 network!

Go Ags!

Coach Des

Well here comes easily the toughest part of our schedule. At Oregon, followed closely by a home matchup with Wazzu, and, after a cleanser against Stanislaus st, we finish the OOC portion at Stanford and home to Gonzaga. Oregon has beaten the teams they should, and lost to the two ranked teams they've played (#1 S. Carolina by 17, and #23 S. Florida by 9). We'll have to play tough team defense with team rebounding and hope to get hot on offense, to stay close. As BGA said, we were close to them last year, though if I remember correctly, they were short a few important players and were coming off several weeks of no games thanks to the pandemic. They'll be ready for us today.

The Aggies travel to Eugene to take on the #18/16 ranked Ducks. Not only are the Ducks the toughest opponent the Ags have faced this year but they are the tallest as well with a roster than includes players listed at 6'8, 6'7,6'5, and 6'4. The Aggies battled the Ducks toe-to-toe last year before the Ducks came from behind to barely beat the Ags 63-57.

Live stream on the PAC12 Network at 3;30 pm.

The Aggies have steadily dropped in the mid-major poll each week from #9 to
#12 to #18 garnering 209 votes this week. I think it is mostly a testament to the reputation of the program that we haven't fallen completely out of the polls all together considering we have lost to St Marys who received no votes and were blown out by San Francisco by 25 points and the Dons received a big, fat 4 votes. Future Aggie opponents Gonzaga is #4 and LB State received 12 votes.

I can't recall if anyone has brought up the Sagarin ratings (http://sagarin.com/sports/cfsend.htm), but counting only FCS schools, it rates UC Davis #18 (127 overall). To Riveraggie's point, Sac State is #16 (124 overall), just ahead of U. of Arizona. Sagarin uses strength of schedule, as well as points, but also how teams have done in more recent games.

I'm having flashbacks to 2019 when we played Berkeley tough, played North Dakota tough (#1 / #1), came home to play Montana (#18?) with Jake Maier at QB... and we came out flat at game time. They dropped almost 40 points on us in 3 quarters and locked up our run game. Ugh.

#18 for poly looks to be the better QB. Maybe he earned the position.
