A couple keys in the first half. First, we were down 24-14 and really struggling offensively. Combination of good defense/rebounding, a couple Sevilla buckets and easy hoops on assists closed a gap that threatened to get out of hand. Second was with about 3:30 left in the half, down 30-24 with Sac in possession. Fagbemi strips Williams two times in a row, we close the gap and Williams got out of his game.

I don’t think we’re as bad a 3 point shooting team as the stats show. We’re getting good looks, shots look good out of the hand…..and out it goes. Seems like a confidence thing right now.

Speaking of confidence….Wilson’s shot at the end seemed like he had no doubt it was going in.

As for Boyd’s question about the courtside lounge - it’s a better look than what would normally be empty bleachers. It’s nice to have a beer/pizza option on the ground level. Now, if they would move the souvenir stand to a spot where people might actually see it, sales would go up!

My biggest complaint of the arena is the entrance into and exit out of parking. They need to figure out how to get cars in without cycling through the stop/walk lights. And have one or two of the Caltran trained parking attendants actually direct bike and pedestrians so cars don’t have to wait for a string of people to pass. Make the getting into the arena the priority! Took us about 20 minutes from the Hutchinson exit to our Team Aggie parking area (not policed very well, so spots were limited). Crazy - glad we got to Davis somewhat early

Williams was at the game last night sitting on the baseline. Was it a radio/TV simulcast? There was nobody up top where Wong/Dunning call the radio broadcast

I’m hoping we get Daugherty back soon - we could use his athleticism on both ends. Was surprised that Stokes basically didn’t play - he’d been averaging about 16 minutes a game coming in.

3900 folks in the building. I was shocked. Having the band and extra student section on the hornets end in the 2nd half was great.

Great crowd. Can’t remember that big a crowd for a non televised game. Great effort. Held our own on the boards. Two or three more 3’s and we win much more comfortably. Cherry was a load

I did but generally don’t share much of what is said in there.

and Daugherty. We need as many scoring options as possible.

We’ll be there with 3 grandsons so probably won’t be sitting still for much of the game. We’re listed as 4 1/2 favorites

didn't he get hurt during the Idaho game? i vaguely remember a TV shot of him on the ground surrounded by training staff.

Screw the MAC, it should be Big10 or bust!!

you don't think a Tuesday night matchup with Akron will fill the Cal Expo Stadium?

Big concern is depth and fatigue this week. Sounds like we’ve been using a lot of true freshmen (including walk-ons) on special teams to get frontliners some rest. Those guys have used their 4 games (so as not to burn their redshirt), so they aren’t traveling.

Biggest difference is the 3 road games to start the season, all with late kickoffs, 2 with significant travel. Although, the injuries don’t seem like fatigue played a role

I would say there is almost no way he’ll be in Davis.

that doesn’t seem ethical.

So, to answer your question, ‘yes’

we started with 3 running backs, with Perez a 'luxury' that we could rely on for 3rd down, or as an occasional slot player. now, we're down to our starter (who is a bit on the small size) and somebody who has 9 rushes on the year.......to carry us into the playoffs!

agree...its one of those hindsight things from guys that are sitting at home with a beer in their hand. i don't recall any of the broadcasters bringing it up and they are never shy about discussing mental mistakes.

and 7 wins

Apparently filling late season games for independents is tough:

I still can’t figure how Lehigh is ranked so high. I get they have a great record, but against whom?

2.5 point favorites. I hope the oddsmakers are right. Have to have this one.
