The game against LMU made Bad Beats last night on SVP SportsCenter (week late). Pretty good segment, except for the cohost “Stanford” Steve saying Davis is not a good place. Haven’t seen the clip online yet.

So going into conference play I don't see Les RSing anyone now. Only Ba has not played in 4 games. — 69aggie

So Harris and Murphy will redshirt this year (Harris will have 3 years left and Murphy a full four). Gehrke has been missing from the sidelines the last couple of games, after getting some decent playing time against the Pac-12 teams. I haven't heard what that's all about...it would be nice to have another 6'7" guy to plug in if Neufeld or Koehler get into foul trouble.

As for the height issues, yeah I'm sure Les would love to recruit multiple 6'10" high talent guys, but that's just not realistic for UCD. So you're left with either getting tall guys that you HOPE will develop, or more talented smaller guys and play small ball. And certainly the 3-pt line helps teams that have good guard play. Probably worth noting that the most accomplished D1 Aggie team ever ('16-'17) featured JT and Good at 6'7", and Chima at 6'6" as our bigs (John was listed at 6'8" but played mostly on the perimeter...both Georgie and Henn were 6'8" but neither played much during the BW season). I think we can compete in the big west with the size we have, but it does mean we have to play consistent team defense and the other aspects of the game (shooting primarily) have to be working well.

Go Ags!

Have fun! I was hoping to make it there today but too many family obligations. Go Ags!

Ugh...missed open layups, poor interior defense, lazy passes. Ags slept through that second half.

Ags definitely the better and deeper team. Need to watch the stupid turnovers (and the rushed shots).

Looks like Stobbart is playing so whatever was up with her wasn't too big a deal. Ags up 10-2 early

Unusual starting time for a mid-week game. Go Ags!

Yeah, let's hope that's the plan!

For those of us who follow WBB, most/all of the women were at the men's game last night. Pretty sure I saw Stobbart in a walking boot. Not sure what happened or when, but clearly not a good development.

Good question about Printup. He was suited up and went through warm-ups last night with no obvious injury. It was also interesting last night that they went to Adebayo early and left Fuller on the bench for all but a few minutes (due mostly to Adebayo's foul trouble). Adebayo is a tough defender who guarded just about every one on the court last night so it was probably just a match up issue. This early season experience is really going to help his development. Also of note was no Gerhke (not even in street clothes on the bench). He got double digit minutes against Cal and Utah but nothing since.

it should eventually be on-demand at https://bigwest.org/watch/default.aspx?Live=2523&path=uc_davis

Edit: it’s on there now

What a fantastic finish. The last shot, or course was amazing but the comeback was just so exciting. I’m still shaking!!!

I missed the USD game (I was going to stream it on-demand yesterday but decided not to put myself through that awful shooting display) so I'm looking forward to seeing if the shooting returns for Manjon and gang. Go Ags!

I'm in!

Thanks for the updates Russ. I checked in a little just to see how things were going. Good solid road win for the Ags. Obvious need to take care of the ball better but this is a good way to go into finals week

Great win. Solid team defense and just enough offense. I thought Fuller played really well on defense tonight. And pepper can really rebound well for his size. Things are coming together.

NIUs defense certainly was more active. Looks like it might be a close game the rest of the way

Great start for the Ags. Up 20-12 at the 12 min mark. Gonzo and joe have remained hot

For what it’s worth no Gerhke again. He’s in street clothes but no braces or anything so hopefully it’s not too big a deal.
