I looked at the play by play after I got back to the hotel and I believe I counted 7 turnovers in the last 4 minutes! That’s a 70 turnover pace! I bet they scored on at least 6 of those.

I think today might be a 9/7 inning DH so Loyols can make their early evening flight. That’s still a lot of innings to cover

Still a log jam at the top. I think UCSB will win their two home games. Win over Hawai’i ‘should’ give us a 3 seed. Should be an interesting week

Fun night. Good crowd, lots of energy

That 3 by Gonzo was huge

they had a video of the last diaper derby (two weeks ago?). only one baby got off the starting line. when he crossed the finish line, it looked like Secretariat at the Belmont Stakes. i think they are also pushing a canned food drive; donation gives you a chance to win an Apple watch. I'll be there. starting with baseball (the son of a friend pitches for loyola), women's game, an EVO event, and the men's game.

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
