Borra made some BIG plays at the end (I’ll overlook the two missed FTs). A block and a couple key rebounds. Poly seems to bring out the ugly in most teams especially us. Ty struggled from the floor but had big FTs and he’s protecting the ball better. Glad to get out with a win. Good to see Beasley dressed as an emergency player.

Announcers, who again i thought were outstanding, said Angiwe was dealing with turf toe?

And Ty turns his ankle

Need a second half (18 points after a cold first half) from Eli. And Johnson to take over like last time vPoly

Down 26-24 at half. Seems like it could be worse based on out shooting.

Video seems better now. Pretty good announcers

Pepper off to a 1-10 shooting start. We don’t look very good

Not as bad as our shooting.

Looks like Beasley is suited up?

They show us as 6-7 point favorites; maybe the insiders have a better idea of who is suiting up!

Thought it was interesting we are 12-3 in games we are favored

they defend very well. Struggle to score.

we won’t hear anything officially

I think the travel requirements of bring the lone NC team in a 20-game conference schedule is taking a toll. No short bus rides for us

If Long Beach beats us next week, probably a moot point

We announced the no contest Wednesday around 10:30. Since we’ve had no word go we assume we’re playing?

In games played tonight;

USCB 78 Beach 73, we’re in 6th
UCSD 99 Irvine 91 (tritons up 14 with 3:00 to go, got down to 3 points)
CSUN 75 Bako 68

Hawaii and Riverside with the late game. Poly with a bye

still can't find a definitive answer to how many players a team has to have in order to use the no-contest rule. my google skills have not been up to the task. i read a COVID era article that the Big12 rule was 7 available scholarship players. No idea about the Big West

I thought I’m the minimum was based on availability of scholarship players, but I could and am probably wrong

yikes. i wonder how many athletes you need, or if its a matter of scholarship players available? we've been pushing guys hard the past two week (39 minutes for Pepper and Milling).

the 900 for CSUN seemed low. I’m guessing there’s something in how they count students that causes the oddness

considering they are playing three teams ahead of them in the standings, AND with injury issues (Beasley, Lose, and maybe Anigwe), I'd lean toward zero percent. And, I tend to be a very optimistic guy on here!

official attendance was around 1700, less than Hawai’i. That didn’t seem the case to me - thought crowd was bigger yesterday

I saw this graphic where NAU brought in 20(!) transfers
