We’ve beat the Titans 3 straight after they had won 5 of 6. Dedrique Taylor, coach, is a Davis guy who seems to get amped up to beat us. We’ve had some spirited games in the recent past!

Big game- need to get the offense back on track and grab a win.

these guys are saying many things I’ve been thinking. Unless the schools that left can somehow not have to pay their agreed upon exit fee, the PAC12 is hurting. That money has to come from somewhere, and I think it’s from the PAC12 bank account. I also don’t see how they are going to get a big money TV/media deal with the schools they have - Corvallis and Pullman aren’t exactly media hotbeds.

One conference would have made sense.

pretty neat video! Two all-time great Aggies

i don't think Borra would be a game-changer, but we could use those 13 minutes of decent low post defense/rebounding when we want to give Rocek a break. Borra did get a ton of fouls -> his footwork and quickness doesn't come close to Nico. But our options now are Mani who really looks outmatched on defense, and Chappell who is young.

Also makes you appreciate Abebayo. He was a real defensive force and became a decent offensive finisher last year.

Last year, TY shot about 37% from 3; right now, he’s at 18%. That’s a crazy drop off.

We had 12 assists tonight on only 24 made buckets, so that ratio isn’t bad. Pretty similar to CSUN.

It’s like the Pepperdine game just destroyed this group’s confidence on the offensive end. They need to turn this around at home next week

he’s such a liability on defense, it’s hard to keep him out there.

Wish Borra was healthy. Dude is bulked up this year.

Shooting continues to be horrible

I’m no basketball expert, but it’s hard to win shooting under 30%. Especially when you’re undersized. Down 9 at the half. Decent shooting and this is a close game

My plan is to take down the Christmas stuff later, check the halftime score and then decide if I want to check in on ESPN+

oddsmakers seem to agree making us 8.5 point underdogs

I saw that St Mary’s beat Pepperdine 71-41; so, probably good we don’t have St Mary’s on the schedule!

we’re considering this trip. Fly into Vegas, and take a few days to drive and explore the national parks. Downside is the heat in late August. Not much shade in Arches or Zion!

Connor has a tough time at Pepperdine (2-11) and that seems to be affecting his confidence. Including that game, he’s 7-25 the past 3. He was pretty high (around 42%) before the game vs the Waves

that was weird when the PA guy lost his mind trying to get the fans to make noise during the second free throw….especially since he started that by ‘reminding’ the band that they can’t play during a free throw.

Also thought it was kind of chickenshit to have the student section sitting right behind our bench.

I think the low assist numbers last night had alot to do with our inability to hit the open 3 and the roadrunners crashing the offensive boards - I can only recall one fast break basket.

I think one thing I take away from the OSU, Pepperdine and Bako games is that our starting lineup is too small and lets opponents get in that first punch. If Sevilla is struggling with his shot, his lack of size outweighs his contribution on the offensive end. I was a bit surprised we didn’t see Chappell when our bigs got in foul trouble, or even before that when Mani couldn’t contend with their front court.

We were shooting well below 20% from 3, and around 50% from the line for the bulk of the game. That hurts. Add in the 12 offensive boards in the first half, and that’s not a winning formula.

Uggh. Get a break and then throw away the inbounds.

Uggh. Get a break and then throw away the inbounds.

Got it down to 3 then some big mistakes (Sevilla foul on desperation 3, bad possession). Back up to 7 with them shooting and and-one after a frustration foul by Leo (who landed hard and hurt himself)

Down 9 with 11 to go; not feeling it. TY is forced to force things. Offensive flow is terrible
