I have grandkids here so can only follow on live stats. 18 point lead is about what the doctor ordered.

I don’t see many stats for Beasley and it seems like it hasn’t shown on the court much. Stats show 2 minutes played. Anything up?

7:00 tip off. We’re 8 or point favorites. Of course we were 9 point favorites vs Poly and that didn’t follow script. We’re a top offensive team, they’re a good defensive squad. Both teams lacking on the other end of the court. Gotta get this one

I wish he’d work on his body language at times. Seems to get a little pouty.

looking at the record book, Hawkins was .488 in 14-15. I’d forgotten how accurate he was from behind the arc. Ritchart is the career leader at .563 but on only on 32 attempts (must have been injured). Gonzo and Corey were in the 170 shot range

I like that list ! But, I would definately have Harden and Caligari ahead of Mooney and Silar. I was always a bit disappointed in both of their senior years. Harden and Dom had to endure Gary Stewart and that should count for something!

Payne, Harden and Caligari from the Stewart years were all really good players.

We probably need a separate thread for this.

Somewhat related to this thread, our schedule gets tough travel wise starting this week. Two on the road, Hawaii at home then on the road again. Gotta survive the next 3 weeks starting with Bako on Thursday

good call on Moneke - I guess I didn’t think of him as a big.

in the D1 era, it’s hard not to put it at the top. Adenrele was good, but didn’t seem to come back all the way from injury. Monson was a scorer. Always liked Goode. Anigwe can score, heck of a defender (rarely fouls out this season) and tough as nails

Thursday the 26th

that 5 point play was huge. Turned 13 point deficit to 8. I forgot we tied with 1:50 left; rewatching it seems like we should have one by 6 or so.

Gauchos seem like they’ve had easiest schedule of the leaders. 5 wins v Bako (2), Poly, CSUN and UCSD. Another set of big games on the road for us coming up. No resting in the Big West

they also play songs out in front of the ARC after the game - that’s a great send off after an exciting win!

I thought I heard from someone in the department that the number of band members is limited. Not sure if that’s a reason. I like that they are there

1800 in attendence, best crowd of the year. Poly is way better than the past couple years. We were out of sorts after Pepper went out. Even the FTs went back to past bad levels. Happy to get out with a win.

Someone asked about the band - I wish they were a bit more active during the breaks but they do cheer a lot and have a good time

I just got home and still trying to figure out how we won! That was fun. ARC was electric at the end

agree especially with road games v the Beach and Bakersfield looming. Both of those are winnable road games .

We’re 9.5 point favorites. Poly has been much improved this year even though their league record isn’t good. Took a good Riverside team to overtime

I can only assume they thought Riverside would double Pepper and leave Ade a clear path to the hoop. Didn’t work that way

I know they had their eyes on a couple. One was a TE from a place where he’d fit in well here. Maybe we’ll find out on signing day on Feb 1. They’ve had recruits in the last weekend and I think tomorrow

EDIT: the TE pulled out of the portal and decided to stay put after new coach was named

ifsnse looks to be going to San Jose State. They could be a nice pickup for the Spartans who have lacked a running game
