    Good start for the Ags. Up 16-10 midway through the first quarter

    Yep, over 7K ft I think. I would imagine they are flying then busing in.

    If the team that showed up last night, with the energy on both ends (and in transition), shows up on Sunday, we'll give WY everything they can handle. I just looked at their roster...9 players 6'0 or over, but none over 6'2". Pele, Hall and Bessolo will need to play "big" and Bertsch and Anderson will need to stay out of foul trouble. Rebounding will be important. Go Ags!

    Great win. What a total turn around from the big west tournament. Keep it rolling Ags!

    C'mon back during the off season and we'll keep the discussion going!

    Regarding Mooney, he did show that he is more than just a spot up shooter. He can get into the lane and has a nice little floater. But, I'm just not sure he can fill that 3rd starting guard role. Over the years, from Avery Johnson, to Lawrence White, to Michael Onyebalu, Les seems to fill that spot with his best athlete who can defend the other teams best non-big offensive player. Is Mooney quick enough to fill that role, or will it be Jackson or Nelson or someone we don't even know about yet. Les will definitely sacrifice offense, if needed, to get his best defensive team out there.

    Definitely a good season for the Ags, especially when you consider none of the starting 5 in the NIT game this year started the NCAA game last year.

    I did find it interesting that Jonah Underwood suited up yesterday. The only reason that I can think of would be if we fouled out multiple players and just needed a body on the court. Still, it was good seeing him standing next to Goode and John in the huddle...he will definitely add some depth to our bigs next year. In fact, with Goode, John, Russell, Underwood, Strom, and Neufeld, it seems like we should be able to match up size wise with just about any team in the BigWest, although I do worry if 1 or 2 of these guys transfers out (like Henn and Hewitt the year before). Looks like we recently offered Shane Gatling (JC transfer). We've got 3 guys leaving for sure (Chima, Hennings, Michael) and only 1 committed so far (high school PG), so we may see some more JC pickups.

    Looking forward to a very good team next year. Go Ags!

    Rough 4th qtr

    he stormed onto the court yelling at the ref. He didn’t stop
  • MBB: 2018 NIT Tournament
    Ags up 33-29 at half. Overall good defense. Definitely need John and shorts to stay out of further foul trouble
  • MBB: 2018 NIT Tournament
    Ags up 17-11 after one. Fouls starting to mount though
  • MBB: 2018 NIT Tournament
    Good start. Utah is ice cold
  • MBB: 2018 NIT Tournament
    Interesting. Underwood is dressed
  • MBB: 2018 NIT Tournament
    Without doing any research, I would imagine UW is another common opponent. Utah probably played them twice (I think Pac-12 teams play every other Pac-12 team home and away) and we lost a good game in Seattle. Regardless, hopefully this will be a close contest.

    Go Ags!

    It's the Thursday before finals so that might dampen the turn out.
  • WBB: 2018 WNIT Tournament
    I'm pretty sure this is our first.
  • MBB: 2018 NIT Tournament
    Game Day! I watched the end of the USC NIT game last night. It took them OT to win at home vs UNC Ashville. The Trojans definitely didn't play with the same intensity as they did a few days earlier in Pac-12 title game. And one of their stars did sit out as not to risk injury before the draft. Hoping the Ags come out and play at 100% for 4 quarters!
  • WBB: 2018 WNIT Tournament
    yep me and my son are going for sure. Daughter is trying to get a project done early so she can go
  • MBB: 2018 NIT Tournament
    Don't know if this accounts for all the 3-pt shooting issues, but the Honda Center seems to always be tough to shoot in. Schneider in particular seems to struggle there.
  • MBB: 2018 NIT Tournament
    It's a small sample size, but last years NIT 1st round saw the 16 first round games split evenly between the higher and lower seeds, including 3 of the 4 #7 seeds beating the #2 seeds. Of course, part of that might be mis-seading (people complain about seeding in the NCAA tournament, imagine how hard it must be to seed in the NIT). Previous year saw 15 of the 16 higher seeds winning in round 1. As you said, talent usually wins out.

    Let Go Ags!
  • MBB: 2018 NIT Tournament
    11.5 sounds about right. As with secondary bowl games in football, I wonder how motivated a team that feels slighted by the NCAA is. Do they come out all hyped up ready to show that they belonged in the big dance, or slow and depressed that they are playing in "just" the NIT.

    We'll need to stay out of foul trouble. We can not rely on Printup guarding any of their bigs.
