Yeah it seems pretty quite on this board now. I guess a large part is due to the pandemic, but honestly, the program seems to be a bit stagnant, which leads to apathy on this board. No real excitement surrounding the team. Last night we grabbed some seats on the student side. I'd say there was about 90/10 ratio of females/males on that side and judging by the ones sitting around us, they were only there to rate the guys on the team. The group behind us decided to root for Fullerton because they were cuter. Not saying there isn't hard core basketball fans (both females and males) but the numbers seemed to have really dropped. Maybe things will change when we can get consistently in our schedule.
This is a very frustrating team. There are times when it looks like we can beat anyone on our schedule, but there are huge gaps where we seem to forget how to play Aggie basketball. Ugh! Fullerton seemed to be a step quicker tonight.
Should be a close game the whole way. Ags high energy defense early on seemed to take a little out of them by the end of the half. Fullerton is quick and puts a lot of pressure on our perimeter defense.
First game for me in a while. I'm not a big fan of the 6:00 start time but being 10 minutes away helps. CSUF is favored by a point per ESPN. Hopefully we can minimize those prolonged scoring draughts that we ALWAYS seem to have. Go Ags!
Good to have Karly Eaton on as the analyst. Thought she did a good job for a rookie on the mic. My daughter has been complaining for years that the men's team brings back former players or coaches to do the color, but they haven't had any former women's players/coaches back. Now she'll be happy!
It's got to be tough having any meaningful practices with just a subset of players. Really hard to build any kind of consistency. Hopefully we see the aggressive Aggies tonight.
I think adebayos lack of time was more due to slo defense. The 1-3-1 zone that they played forced us to try and get better shooters in the game. Could be something more…
Talk about a team that plays to its opponent. Look really good in beating Oregon state and Utah st, and twice to UoP, but look bad at losing to lower ranked teams like slo, Pepperdine, and sac st. (Oh and the poets). Some inconsistencies can be blamed on such an uneven schedule, but hopefully we find some sort of consistency game to game.
yeah I was worried about Manjon with his early fouls as perimeter defense was going to be very important against a heavy 3 point shooting team like ucsd. He did a good job of being aggressive without getting into further trouble.
You know, if you had to play with only 7 players, this would probably be the 7 I’d pick. All the starters, your best perimeter sub and your best interior sub. Not ideal, but not as bad as it could have been
