Colter - you do a great job with these interviews. Appreciate the love you give to the Aggie players. You show an incredible depth of knowledge for the BIG Sky and FCS. I always learn something listening to you.

Last year, we opened against same two teams (different order) on 12/28 and 12/30. Oddly, we drew 1700 for 12/28 vs UCSB.

that’s kinda crazy since AP has Gonzaga 7, with Irvine in the ‘receiving votes’ with 2

seems like an excel spreadsheet checkin list would work fine!

Any season ticket holders have issues with their ticket order? I thought i followed the instructions (season ticket renewal, etc) correctly, saw my seat numbers listed when I submitted my order and got a confirmation via email (didn’t show seat numbers but I figured that was because it was the renewal). Emailed today wondering when the tickets were available for download…..they didn’t see my order and sold my seats! Then they saw the order but tickets they were going to give me were in same row (t) but 10-15 yards toward end zone. Manager finally found 4 that are one row down from my normal and actually closer to the 50…so it kinda worked out.

But, if you are a season ticket holder, you should double check they’ve sent your tickets!

good point. It seems like what’s hampering him most is the defense’s ability to clog the lane and take away any path to the hoop. That, and the very physical defense he’s been getting away from the hoop - similar to what Pepper saw often last season, especially from deep teams that could throw more bodies at him.

in Les’ defense, two bigs we were counting on (Borra and Mani) are MIA. Mani was supposed to provide scoring, Francisco defense and rebounding. That hurts

he looks healthy. He’s just getting everyone’s attention and teams have been very physical with him especially far from the hoop. Both Norfolk and OSU were very deep and could throw a lot of bodies at him. And, I thought, the Beavs were allowed a lot of contact. He’s not getting a ton of scoring support, especially in the front court.

For much of the first half, our best player was Sevilla. Now I’m a big fan of his, but if he’s our best player on the floor, it’s gonna be a long night. Leo is playing well. TY is getting beat up and they are taking the paint away from him. If we can’t get some points in the paint so that the opponents bigs can’t sag, he’s going to have to really work for points.

they beat Stanford last night!

I turned off at the half - sported out. Yikes. Oddly we only had 10 turnovers, after 23 vs Norfolk. Outrebounded 40-17 and they shot kinda lights out…..so, tough night. I thought they got away with very physical play in the first half compared to what they called on us.

Okay….let’s get back on track for Poly

We’re 5-11 ftom the line vs 13-14. There’s 8 points

Down 35-22 with 4 to go. They are shooting 67% from field, 10-10 from the line. Our shooting isn’t bad, but 4-7 from line isn’t helping.

16-4 for them in the paint

not to sound like a whiner BUT does it seem like we’re getting called for some ticky tack fouls and they are getting away with a very physical style? The last two on Nico were really weak especially when they let their center elbow himself free under the hoop

Can’t get an easy shot.

‘Ty’ Johnson? Seriously?

not off to a great start; down 12-3 after 5. Very tough defense for the Beavs

Doesn’t sound like an ideal matchup for us. Tough night for Rocek

NAU down 17-0 in fourth . They are lucky to be in. Lost their 2 tough BSC games, lost by 20 to Incarnate Word and beat poor Lincoln of Oakland. They had a weak Big Sky schedule. Happy to see them lose - not a big fan of their transfer portal overload

in the Mercury article this morning, Taylor said 11 starters transferred out after Shaw was let go, and 6 left this year. They were playing true freshmen all over the place. If they can somehow stop the talent drain and get into the portal, they might be competitive. I personally think Stanford is going to be stuck around the bottom of the ACC.
