UCD defeated Sac in gymnastics in a match at Sacramento tonight 195.800 - 195.250.
Running Causeway score is now UCD 51.6, CSUS 9.1.

Next scheduled meeting is in beach volleyball in the Big West Challenge in San Luis Obispo on March 22.

Whew!

It’s been a fun ride here in Vegas. Time to bring it home tomorrow Ags!

It’s the postseason: Win or go home!

After holding off UC Irvine in the semifinals, the Aggies take on #4 seed, UC San Diego, who knocked off regular season champion, Hawaii, in their semifinal. On the line for both teams is not only the BW Conference title, but an automatic berth in the NCAA tournament. During conference play, Davis and the Tritons split their two meetings, with UCSD taking a 2-pt win in Davis a month ago, and by the Aggies winning by 11 a week ago in San Diego.

Every Davis player had at least one turnover--team effort! Only a fun box score fact because they won. :lol:

#3 and #4 teams head to the conference championship; gotta love March.

It’s the postseason: Win or go home!

With a win over UC Riverside yesterday, the Aggies will #2 seed, UC Irvine. During conference play, Davis dropped two close games against the Anteaters, losing by 3 in Davis on February 1st, and by 2 at Irvine just 8 days ago. UCD will need to play another great game against a strong Irvine team that’s looking to defend its tournament crown. Today’s winner will play for the Big West Tournament title on Saturday.

The Aggies' 8th Semifinal in the last nine years. Great run!!

I think we could use a fresh face on the staff somewhere to help with recruiting. Young assistant who can work SOCal and find some long, athletic wings!

Let's dump the coach? Really? — abridge

I don't think the sentiment on the board is that. I'm hearing people wondering where the program is headed after 14 predominantly mediocre seasons.

Which makes him the oldest coach in the conference.

I am sure he is feeling the squeeze even without talking to Rocko. My only question is does he have it in him to carry on.I would think Rocko would go easy on him for one more year but who would enjoy the incredible pressure? I doubt he needs the money……. But who knows? Very proud likable guy.

I don't know. It depends on how the Administration feels about being the perennial "sleeping giant."

If you count this season he is 210-216 (.492). 14 full seasons.

We were just offered 2 for 1 tickets to Carrot Top. I told the guy ‘we’ve suffered enough this trip!’

Exactly. Give me a break. This guy has offers from:
Tennessee
Colorado
Michigan
Ole Miss
Stanford
Texas A&M
Nevada
Arkansas
Cal
USC
Oregon
Arizona State
San Diego State
Florida, etc.

I understand a HC can do amazing things like Coach Prime at Jackson State, but this guy 'aint Coach Prime.
The PR machine is getting a little crazy.....

It does seem that when we go cold on offense, we get out of sorts and things start breaking down on both ends of the court. We miss a few shots and it's like it's contagious and everyone goes cold and then we start rushing our shots and it gets worse. Maybe it did become psychological at some point because it was happening so often. It was tough to watch because you could see the disappointment in the players body language. We'd continue to play hard but you could really see the frustration.

Tough season for the Aggies but my wife and I have enjoyed following them. They're all great, young men and they'll be able to take what they learned from their sport and from their education and carry it forward into the careers and lives ahead. I wish all the graduating seniors all the best. Aggie Pride...

I don’t think it’s Les. Injuries have killed an already weak team. Tamba is a 5 when he was a 4 all season long

My thoughts exactly. If they finish the season on an 0-7 run, where almost every 2nd half they completely imploded, with 1 year to prepare for the Mountain West, I'm not confident Les is the guy.

Worst 2nd half ever so far.
I’m sorry but I think it’s time to move on from coach Les.

I'd be for that.

Poly likes to run and shoot and they do it very well. Our defense needs to be locked in and disruptive in the second half. Poly is capable of exploding and taking over the momentum. Our defense needs to make sure that doesn't happen.

I just feel like its still a trek for a lot of students or families, especially with the weekend that this years tourney was. Why not keep the game in so cal where fans can drive or take public transit to the game for the night?

It's a little bit troubling that TY has 3 unforced turnovers (one a bad pass to Sevilla for which Seville got the TO). WHat's really good is that the offense is coming from the whole team so TY does not have to carry the load.

I will be brutally honest that going to MW conference games with consistent crowds above 3000-5000 will be very very welcome. I love the character of some big west stadiums but...

Jdur got it. Also, I note that the only Aggie to receive Big West honors was TY: first team all conference.No one else even got an honorable mention.

:cool:

Tova Sabel, Megan Norris, Nya Epps and Ryann Bennett receive well-deserved post-season Big West honors.

It's been a pleasure watching TY during his years here. He's right up there with the very best guards to have worn an Aggie uniform and we've had some great ones.

HM 2 years ago, 2nd team last and well deserved first team this year. Put the team on his shoulders all season.

Hope he shines in Henderson!

I think the move to Mountain West will significantly attract good prospects. It blows my mind that Napa has 3 of the top 50 players in the state right down the road. Davis should be all over those kids.

It’s the postseason: Win or go home!

With a come-from-behind win at UC San Diego last Saturday, the Aggies secured the 3-seed in the Big West Tournament, and a 1st Round bye. UCD will face UC Riverside.in the quarterfinals. During conference play, Davis split with the Roadrunners, each team winning on their home court. UCR is a confident, dangerous opponent, having won seven of their last 8 games, including victories over the Aggies and regular season champion, Hawaii..

Thursday’s winner will face UC Irvine in the Semifinal on Friday.

"...Think Blue" to me means "Go Ags."

I figured the game was chosen by ESPN/BWC to showcase the Tritons and show they were worthy of a bid even if they don’t win the tournament. Also, pump them for a 11-12 type seed. I think they were expecting a scoring outburst like down there…….which didn’t happen!

Aggies were cast as the Washington Generals or (old WWF reference) Iron Mike Sharpe to the unbeatable Tritons!

As for their coach….he does come off as a smug bastard. He’s overtaken Pasternik in my disliked coaches ranking.

that was mostly football players. Plough made a cameo with them.

That was a tough one. Hate to see a great player like TY struggle so badly in his final home game. He even missed a couple (contested) layups that he always knocks down. Niko was on the bench most the game and didn’t get a chance to impact his final home game.

4300 folks, most stayed to at least the 3 minute mark. They wanted to explode but just never got much of a chance. UCSD played good D - they are long and athletic, and contest everything. By far biggest crowd of the year; biggest since 2016 I think.

Based on the two games this week, I think I’d take Irvine to win the tournament. They seem a bit more rounded offensively. Caveat is that they can take advantage if matchups offensively with the Irvine big guy (watch how the Tritons isolated Niko against their two scorers last night on the outside). Irvine looked like they are on a mission. That being said, Turner’s head might explode during a sideline rant and then all bets are off.

This marks the 11th consecutive season (non-COVID) that the Aggies WBB team has reached the BW Tournament QF or higher.

Niko was almost absent with no blocks, 2 points and only 2 rebounds. — Toke69

I think Niko had an injured hand the last few games.

They may well be. There are a bunch of football players here.
