    Couple of other observations. Chancellor May was in his courtside seat, interacting with fans throughout the game. Provost Ralph Hexter was sitting behind the basket, wearing what looked like a UCD block jacket -> that guy is a enthusiastic fan! AD Blue is sitting among the fans, getting into the action. Just a real good look for the program.

    Also, ran into Bob Biggs at halftime and had a very interesting discussion about the team, their tenacious defense and their grit. That's kind of a unique Davis thing -> coaches from the past sticking around and being active parts of the entire athletic program. It was similar to seeing Sochor sitting up in section 206 dissecting the games!

    Well-worth the midweek drive up to watch the game. This is a really enjoyable team to watch. Defense in the first half was stifling. The ball movement has improved tremendously as the season as progressed, and there is a much higher degree of confidence in their outside shooting. Only downside was the high number of turnovers; we've been really good as of late protecting the ball, so the 19 last night was a minor red flag (especially since so many seemed unforced). That steal, save, wild layup of Shorts was really an amazing play. Fun sitting with Agalum and his grandson -> he really seemed to enjoy the atmosphere!

    Drive home in the heavy rain wasn't so much fun. Listening to the post-game with Marsh talking to Onyebalu, Hemmings and Les made the 1st 15 minutes enjoyable. that last 60 minutes...not so much. I don't think we can count on help from Poly (v UCSB) or Hawaii (v Fullerton), so we really need to win on Saturday to make the BWT run a real possibility.

    Team is playing with a lot of confidence. Good ball movement, good d. They really look confident taking the 3. Good half. Decent crowd

    I’ll start a ‘Chima, Chima’ chant if he’s not! In my college days KDVS played a song ‘Free Nelson Mandela’. Catchy Ska song. Substitute Chima Moneke and it works. I was singing it last night for my wife (her favorite player). Google it
  • Chima Moneke Suspended Indefinitely
    we're at day 25 on this saga; you'd think they would be able to get information and render a decision in that amount of time. i still think they are choosing NOT to make a decision, effectively suspending him for the season, in order to avoid any type of public announcement.

    just my feel on the situation.
  • Chima Moneke Suspended Indefinitely
    UCSB is going through a similar situation with Cantu and it’s been just as silent. I suspect in these situations, coach and AD must stay quiet
  • Chima Moneke Suspended Indefinitely
    no, he played this season so his eligibility is over
  • Chima Moneke Suspended Indefinitely
    By making no decision they have essentially decided to suspend him for the year. Maybe easier than explaining why.
  • MBB 5 pm Saturday DH: Riverside (8-19 & 3-10) @ the Aggies (18-9 & 9-4)
    that’s odd especially since he missed 5 or 6 games earlier
  • MBB 5 pm Saturday DH: Riverside (8-19 & 3-10) @ the Aggies (18-9 & 9-4)
    Great drive, terrible defense. He’s left handed, and they left the left side of the key open. They did have our 3 shooters covered!

    Hawaii game is a big one; really need to finish top two to avoid Hawaii or LB in first round. Winning out is gonna be a tall order.

    Jackson on bench or not there?

    Wow. On a romantic weekend down in pismo and turned on espn gamecast as Riverside hit the 3. Next thing I knew it was an Aggie win. I’ll try to find highlights when I get back home Monday! Fullerton and the beach are on tv here. I’ll skip

    It would be a shame for him not to get a senior night send off. He quickly became a fan favorite.
  • Big West Games 2/21&22
    I think i agree, especially since they have to head to the islands for Saturday night's game. tough venue. not sure how all the tie breakers would go. of course, if we beat Irvine, we have that over them.

    SB has a home games vs LB and Poly, and roadie vs Northridge, so i think this is the best chance for a loss for them. Not sure we can win out to get a tie, but who knows.
  • QB Laughrea stars in AFL
    Played in 5 games in 2013, starting 3 (from what I can tell). Wright started the opener, Laughrea relieved. Started next week v Reno and next 2. Played in game 5 but Wright had more attempts. No more stats after that. I forgot he played that much.
  • QB Laughrea stars in AFL
    A couple of games
  • Ags add two more games at Cal
    Pretty nice paydays with minimal travel cost.
  • Chima Moneke Suspended Indefinitely
    Ideally he’d be back this week and they could ease him back Saturday. Play more each of the following games and be ready to roll tournament time with a much deeper team.

    We’ll see what happens
  • MBB 2 pm Saturday: Aggies (17-9 & 8-4) @ UCSB (20-5 & 9-2)
    ESPN box score was fouled up all game. Showed three starters none of whom were starters
  • MBB 2 pm Saturday: Aggies (17-9 & 8-4) @ UCSB (20-5 & 9-2)
    I was hoping we’d be competitive today but a double digit rout? Half game back. If we get Moneke back soon he’ll come to a much more complete team! John, Printup and Mooney all stepped up big. Goode continues to be a more complete player and a force in defense. Shorts? What a player. Silar? Baby-faced assasin!
