I agree about Murphy. Les is not letting him go too long so his inexperience doesn’t get exposed, but has definitely shown glimpses on both ends. The little hook in the first half was very smooth.

Hopefully we keep this energy up through halftime.

Roll Big CA Roll

Let’s go Ags!

We look asleep right now

Good question. He set the pick at the top of the key for Manjon. Manjon threw it back to him. There was probably about 8 seconds left so he could have made another pass. Can’t see drawing a play up that doesn’t involve Pepper.

Frustrating game. I guess playing as poorly as we did and still having a chance at the end is some solace. We could have used Ba. Saw him in a soft wrap on his wrist so that doesn’t sound like he’ll be back tomorrow. Maybe later this week?

Sound is back for me

my son goes to wsu which is about 10 miles from Moscow. SWA has a few direct flights to Spokane then about 1 1/2 hr drive to Moscow. Or fly to SeaTac then Alaska air to Pullman airport. That’s dicey this time of year.

yeah I was figuring the way you did too. So far sounds like all the games are a go.

Big West new release about the tournament seeding. Some new interpretation of the rules. They are saying that if two teams are tied with the most games played, you would drop BOTH of them from the Average Games Played calculations.

CSU Bakersfield and Hawai‘i have played the most games (16) and UC Davis the least (8). Those teams are dropped from the average formula. Total games played among teams in the formula equals 84, divided by number of teams in the formula (7) = 12 games.

That's a good question. I thought fall would be difficult because my wife and I enjoy going to the football games and listening to the band-uh. But since the team wasn't playing, it didn't feel like I was missing out. Spring might be harder knowing that there is a game going on RIGHT OVER THERE and we can't go. Winter was very hard for me as I usually go to all the b-ball games that I can. Plus with the kids home, that would have been a lot of fun (reliving their childhoods). I was even hoping that the BW would allow some fans in Vegas as the b-ball tournament is always a fun couple of days. Oh well...next year I guess.

I was wondering if you've been catching some UH games. I've tried to watch a smattering of BW teams but haven't seen any UH either. Feels like a split weekend, as you said, based on common opponents. We should finish either 3rd or 4th if we split and UH would probably finish 6th (all depends on some other outcomes). Decent chance that we see them again in the first round of the BWT in the 3 vs 6 contest.

You're right, 7vs10 and 8vs9, winners play 1 and 2 with 3vs6 and 4vs5.

Here's the complete breakdown including women's games:

By the way, no Shaw yesterday and I couldn’t see him on the “bench”. I either missed him or he didn’t make the trip for some reason. Hope it’s nothing long term as we was starting to give us valuable minutes.

Koehler did get his share of shots blocked, as did Anigwe. I didn’t mind the blocks too much as it at least showed we were being aggressive to get the the rim. Plus the refs were letting both teams play in the first half. I’d wager that a decent portion of the blocks could have been called fouls.

Koehler struggled with his usually reliable outside shot. He hit his first midrange jumper but missed everything else. Hopefully he reverts to his mean today.

good point about Borra. Im a terrible speller.

And Gunrock was a horse that was brought to Davis in 1921 for breeding. Students voted a while back to name the new mascot after that horse.

She's going to bury one here soon.

Really like what I saw from Bora. He's a big guy but seemed to have soft hands and could move. He got in foul trouble quickly, but considering this was his first college game, you got to like it.

Good luck with the second shot.

Ags win 69-61. Good win. Not clean but it was good to get some guys back.
