During the ESPN+ women's broadcast the UCSD announcers noted that "our guy" is doing the ESPN2 broadcast for the game.

I think they can't drop lower than 7th? Maybe?

I think ESPN+ only keeps the games up for maybe a day or so?

It was a GREAT crowd. You could feel the energy build as the ebb and flow of the game slowly brought the Ags first into contention and then into a narrow lead. Terrific moment for the families of the graduating seniors.

I very much liked the tribute videos they did with Greg Wong's voice over. Good work by the AV guys.

There was an announcer for the Kings who'd say "If you don't like this game you don't like basketball!" Well, that applies here.

Terrific outing by the Ags. Probably the best defensive effort I've seen in some time by our women.

But I came away liking the Hawai'i team even though it was a very physical game.

A good win with lots of time for players who don't get much. I watched part of the game after we came home from the men's game. It won't go into the pantheon of great performances. But the starters got minutes along with the subs. That could really mean something at the tournament.

Next up: Hawai'i and senior day. It'll be tough to say goodbye.

I can't figure that one out BlueGoldAg. It was definitely a foul. Cooper was hammered and he definitely went down on his wrist. His reaction was immediate. I haven't watched the TV video so I don't know what they said about it.

The long periods without a basket really hurt us. I still feel it's fatigue. The Ags play hard. They don't have a lot of depth.

Whatever it was a tough loss but a good game to watch. Adams is a fine player. He has this calm demeanor out on court. And the Ags didn't have many turnovers - again. If we don't have the depth we can't rest players when they need it. That's up to the coaching staff to recruit.

Irvine pummeled CSUN on Thursday. I think the Anteaters had 61 at the half. This should be an opportunity for lots of playing time for non-starters.

I was happy to see Harris back on court at Bakersfield.

I'm deeply disappointed in the new scoreboard though. I found it impossible to read. The really important information a baseball scoreboard should present would be the score, balls-strikes-outs, and who's at bat. All of this information is provided - but it's small. Is a photo of the player more important? I'd argue NOPE. In addition you have to view the scoreboard through the netting which further makes the small text difficult to read. I hope this format is re-evaluated because as it stands the new scoreboard is LESS USEFUL than the old one. And that's a bad thing.

I'm not a fan of the announcers who are definitely homers - but not as bad as the sports bros at Bakersfield. Whew, those guys are the worst.

They're cocky but they walk the walk.

That was a very ugly loss. You don't win a lot of games making 26 turnovers that lead to 25 points. That just doesn't work.

I believe the officiating was atrocious - but it was the same both ways. We're lucky no one was hurt.

I've never seen these guys before and hope I never will again.

But the Ags have to stop making obvious passes. Teams have figured out the passing lanes. In a game where grabbing and lots of contact is almost encouraged this is especially true.

On a different note it was great to see Tara VanDerveer at the game. Her sister, Heidi, is the UCSD head coach.

I've been quite critical of Mani but I saw some play that really encouraged me. He blocked out well, he hit a good three and wasn't pushed around in the lane. But he still looks somewhat clumsy.

Puppy was the description I shared with my wife - who agreed. Mani has a long way to go. I don't know what his injury was so I'm not going to guess about his physical condition right now.

2,200 is what sticks in my mind

I was manager with Bruce Ross '68-70

In the late 60s the Aggie Band was the UC Davis All Male Maverick Band, wore jeans, white shirts, and black floppy hats with all sorts of buttons on them. After the game they came down into the locker room for a march-about. LOUD! They played a lot, they had numbers with the song girls, and really made Hickey Gym rock. I remember that floor as being leg friendly without many dead spots. Not like the one at Stanford before Maples Pavilion but still good. Still used for practice.

The play-by-play folks were commenting on how cold thee Pyramid was and then wondered if anyone played on a court laid over ice. The answer, of course, is Yes if you played at the Honda Center for the Big West tournament. I wore heavy wool socks sitting courtside and still had really chilly feet after a day of basketball.

TY gives and he takes away as we saw in this game. He gives a whole lot more. I think I’d keep him. <grin>

Harris went out in the 2nd half with an ankle injury, She iced it and then was in a boot. She didn’t return. Brianna didn’t play nor take place in warmups (between halves for sure) with a knee wrapped.

Epps’ scoring just sort of happened. She had some fine drives and nice 3’s.

We were lucky LB couldn’t shoot worth diddly. They were below 25% for much of the game. A couple of 3’s at the end of the game may have helped with the final percentage.
