here is a question for those of you that follow the womens' program closer than me.....do they EVER lose in the Doubleheader opener? I think i've made all but one of the DH's over the past 2 or 3 seasons, and I've only witnessed victories (usually romps). i'm thinking of finding a bookie who specializes in mid-major women's basketball....

back to the present day....CSUN beat LBSU last night, putting them at 7-6 same as us. we've beat them twice so would get a head-to-head tiebreaker, but the ways things are going, we might have a 4 way time for second and who knows how things will shake out!

Saturday's a big one with LBSU coming to town. that's a something of a must-win to keep our 2nd place hopes alive (and its the most winnable of the last 3).

Is Irvine the only team that ESPNU shows from the Big West? they are on again tonight at Poly.

Pittsburg, without the ‘h’.

we'll.....good news is that's a much more winnable game. bad news.....don't think i'll be able to convince my wife to make the trip!

I feared this would be the outcome given UCSB had seen the small approach already. Sounds like they had a game plan to stop the 3, and exploit the middle. Didn’t get to see any; I’m guessing the chirping might have been a result of physical stuff going on away from the ball ( out of the official’s view)?

I think there’s a simmering animosity in the program toward Pasternak; maybe his past association with Arizona and/or actions while at UCSB.

Last game Heidegger had 25 points in the last 10 minutes after 6 in the first 30. Hopefully he’s on a 8 point game pace, not 100!

you missed this?

Practice field is in, laying the wiring and piping now. Should see some construction real soon

Much more aggressive offensively lately. Shot 35 free throws!

Pulling away- defense shut them down in the last 5 minutes turning a 4 point lead to 15

15 free throws so far. If we were shooting our recent norm we might be up 10 instead of 2. Mooney with 0 points?

Poly has been tough at home. I think they are 0-13 on the road but 7-3 at home (4-1 in conference). Tend to play tough at the Mott (the Hoople) Center. We had an epic multiple OT win there a couple years back (92-84 3OT in 2018)

yeah, there is that! They might go after a FBS who has a FCS team scheduled, and help them pay that off. We’ll figure something out

pretty sure it will be a FBS team. Sounds like we’ve reached out to a bunch of FCS teams out of the area with no bites. I’d be fine with UNLV

Seems like our shooting has improved with the increased aggressiveness to the hoop from Manjon, Fuller and Printup. Opening up the outside a bit. Vs Fullerton at home, they forced us further and further out, since we had no threat of going to the hoop. They rendered Mooney harmless and shut down Gonzo after his first two 3’s

Article on department website says Gonzalez is currently leading the nation in three-point shooting percentage. He’s been on fire since Hawai’i game

football charters almost exclusively (they flew commercial to Ssm Diego last year because it was much cheaper). Pretty sure they bus to Poly (and Sac of course), fly to the other Big Sky teams.

these are really great! I really enjoy seeing pictures from games I attend, allowing me to see plays from a different angle.

The opening sequence with Diane was really cool.

looking ahead, we have the central coast trip (hope for a split, I think USCB will adapt to our small lineup), LBSU (we don’t seem to lose doubleheader’s) and Hawaii (tough home finale) at home and Riverside on the road. 4-1 would be incredible and put us in 2nd. I think 3 wins is more likely, which should be a top 3 finish.

BlueGoldAg I’ll see your Poundstone and rise you a Travis Tritt solo show. Two plus hours of great songs and lots of funny stories. If you have not been to the Bob Hope (Fox) theatre in Stockton, see a show there. Great old Art Deco theatre. Cool place to see one of the famous ‘class of 89’ .

If we have a 5 point lead with 2:00 to go in any game, we win. Free throw shooting is incredible. Small ball is great for offense. Might catch up to us defensively. Win the rebound battle again

Our FT shooting Is ridiculously good
