San Jose State is now Thursday Aug 30, kickoff time TBD. Similar to a few years ago when we opened at Reno the Thursday before Labor Day weekend.

on the drive home Saturday, my wife and I were talking about the current state of basketball. in the last 4 years, we have a league title, a conference tourney title (and NCAA berth), and we could get to the 20 win plateau again and compete for the titles again this season. pretty sweet times! we had the hiccup after the league title, but not too surprising since we graduated 4 and lost 3 possible standouts (Berry and Walton transferred, Monson to graduate school). Add in the 19-straight home wins, and the fact that we continue to put quality young men out on the court, and its a great time to be a fan!

Les spoke to the alum/Team Aggie up in the reception area, and was very excited about the current state of the program and where we are headed. He sure gives the impression that this is the place he wants to be now, and in the future. He mentioned that folks (airport personnel, hotel and restuarant staff) routinely mention how polite this group is. GPA is up. All great things to hear for donors! The 2016-17 highlight video that they showed are really well done.

By the way, Berry ended up at a D2 school (Marysville in St. Louis) where he's going off at about 20 ppg. Walton ended up at Longwood (D1 Big South) where he is leading his team with 18.5 ppg. Monson? BYU School of Law.

I had forgotten about Jackson. We had 11 suited up, 10 played. Storm must be there for emergency only, else he’s redshirting?

If I remember correctly, there were several games where Mooney was MIA. If it’s cold or flu, they are probably were aggressive about keeping sick guys from their teammates. Where are our twitter experts to get the intel?

Offense was very crisp tonight. We attacked the paint and had poly on their heels from the get-go. Chima was unstoppable. Shorts and Hemmingd were active on both ends. John and Goode both played very well. Defense was awesome. The double teams off their high screens really disrupted their offense without giving them open looks. Need to take that Mojo on the road!

Scott Marsh said 3000 fans during the post game. I thought it was a good crowd but not that much.

Wife and I had a great time watching both wins!

They were really sharp tonight

46-22 at half. 6-7 from behind the arc. D is really. Poly isn’t

Saw most of the second half. Good atmosphere.

He posted on Twitter HE IS BACK’

I agree. I don’t remember any full houses during my time. No playoffs during that time .

I fear it’s in the campus and community DNA that athletics is just not going to be a big deal (unless it’s in TV!). In the golden days, we didn’t need PR to get folks to the games.

I do like the idea of dynamic pricing on the weekday games. The idea, of course, is that folks have a great time and come back. Kind of like giving free food, then beating up a solid team brings them back. Oh wait, that didn’t work

I was scanning through the seasons stats and our 3 point shooting has really tailed off in BW play. In preseason, most games we were around 40% from beyond the arc. One or two games near 20%, but pretty solid the rest of the games.

In BW play? 23, 33, 22, 60(LB), 15, 10. So, one outstanding and one decent, the rest pretty bad. Maybe if we can pound it inside, we can create some open looks outside. Even shooting 33% would be huge. 3-10 last night and we cover the spread ( no, I don’t bet these games!)

Not pretty but a win they had to have. 3 point shooting is contagious. We need to catch that bug!

At least they trimmed a late 9 point lead to 3. Hopefully come out inspired

i'll be there saturday for the doubleheader. basketball alumni day/team aggie event. that makes for a fun day. last, Les came out and talked to the alumni and invited them into the locker room for the pregame talk. that was pretty cool. looking for a sweep this week. both men and women

we're 13.5 favorites. that's a REALLY big number, but we covered the Long Beach spread and that was around 10.

We kind of lucked into Les -> thank goodness! His son was here as a very late signee, he was let go at Bradley, and we needed a coach badly. Had Tyler not been here I can’t imagine we’d have attracted his interest. Can’t imagine who Tumey would have found (I shudder to think!)

Two championship seasons is pretty sweet for fans. Following up a senior-laden championship season with another possible contender ( one who knocked off a pac12 team who hasn’t recovered from that beat down) is very impressive. Fun team to follow, great kids to cheer for. Very happy he’s here. He seems to have embraced Davis.

Possibly best thread ever!
