I don't think UOP had anyone much taller than us (their 7'0" only played a few minutes and was non-factor), but they seemed to have 3 or 4 guys on the court that were 6'4" to 6'8", while our lineup was 6'7", 6'6", 2 at 6'3" and one at 5'9". So yes, height probably did play a part of it, but I also think we lacked some energy towards rebounding. We also stayed in a zone a bit longer than I would normally expect (maybe due to the lack of guard depth) and rebounding in a zone can be a bit tougher, especially if you're not used to it.

Did anyone hear why Mooney and Jackson were out? Hopefully it's nothing too big for either one, as that could really hurt our guard/wing depth. I was hoping Printup could excel with more meaningful playing time, but he picked up 3 fouls on basically 3 trips down the court and never got into any kind of rhythm. William Jessup on Saturday and then almost a week after that until our next game, so hopefully everyone uses the finals break to get healthy. Go Ags!

yeah she came back and looked fine.

Looks like no Mooney or Jackson tonight

Aggie women cruise 72-55. We controlled the game the whole way. 8-0!

first ive heard of these promotions.

We stayed at 8, even though there were several more losses by teams ahead of us. No big deal, of course, right now...beating St. Mary's and Oregon State will definitely help.

I'm guessing the Ags move up a few more spots in the college insider mid major poll. Looks like several teams above us lost a game this past week.

The thing that is exciting about this year is that it shows that Les can continue a winning tradition, even after loosing so many contributors. I was afraid we'd get into a situation where we'd have a good, senior led team, only to have to re-build for a few years until the next large group of seniors comes around. This year's success, so far, shows that there is a winning philosophy that can continue from year to year. Next year, yes we'll lose Chima, but players like Shorts, Siler, Goode, John will be there to continue that philosophy. They'll pass it down to the Jackson/Strom/Underwood/Nelson's of the world, and the winning (hopefully) continues. Exciting times for Aggie basketball!

Good to know it isn't anything too serious. And it did give Printup a chance to contribute.

Fantastic game! WSU looked like the really expected an easy win...no energy. Ags hit some open 3's, played great defense, and is leaving Pullman with the win. Great job Ags!!!

Awesome half. My son is the only one in the arena with a UCD shirt on and he says it's absolutely dead silent. Shorts is playing a great game!!

Ags playing really well. Up by 11 and controlling the game

My sources say Mooney is not on the bench. Wonder what’s up

excellent! I especially liked the pix from previous years. A great trip down memory lane. Thanks AggiePhoto!!

That's a great pic!

Looks like the Cougs are relying on the force. Here.

Go Ags!

So I asked my wife to get the women's perspective, and I thought she had a valid point. When boys go out to play bball, there is usually several boys in the neighborhood to play with...they end up playing either a scrimmage or lowering the basket to do crazy dunks...neither very conducive to free throw shooting. Girls, on the other hand, generally don't want to play with the boys, and there are usually fewer girls who actually play bball, so they end up in the street or backyard shooting by themselves, a lot of time spent on FT's. Those habits for boys and girls then hang with them throughout their formative years.

It was definitely one of those "no, no, no...yes yes YES!" deals.

By the way, this is a pretty awesome pix: [/img]
