not really fast breaks, more trying to press it into the lane and losing it to good defense

Much better defense so far; finally a lead 41-40.

They are shooting FT with 13 to go which might not be an advantage

Not a great half, down 37-30. They’re shooting 60%. Add that to our 9 turnovers ( Johnson with 5, Pepper with 3) and that’s the story of the half. Their D is tough, but we’re a bit reckless in the key with the ball.

See what we can do differently defensively else if a bad start to the week

Tritons have some scorers and are playing tough defense - not many open looks for us. 29-23 then 3:00 to go

I’m guessing she is part of our broadcasting team with Marsh and Williams. Scott posted a picture of the 3 of them on Facebook

do we have a sideline reporter now? Noticed a young lady on the baseline who had a camera on her se real times

Good win. Angiwe came up HUGE down the stretch with 2 offensive boards that led to 5 points (and a 4 point lead in the last 30 seconds). Pepper hit FTs that put it away. Johnson seemed out of sorts in the first half-seemed to be jawing with their bench before his T (earned him a seat for much of the first half), but he was solid in the second half.

Beasley got screwed with a couple questionable calls that led to fouling out - Leo thankfully was solid filling in. Maybe one of his best performances.

One game soon, we’ll get Pepper, Beasley, Johnson, Milling and Anigwe ALL on their A game and that will be a sight to see!


Good crowd (1300) on a wet , 49er Saturday. Keep it going Monday v the Tritons

They’re pounding inside every possession. Their zone is hurting us

Between the 49ers and wet weather it might be another sparse crowd. Too bad.

Niners will win big; no need to watch. Follow on live stats and enjoy the Aggies live!

There is a general animosity between us and the Titans. Love to see us beat them

I’d like to thank AgAlum for updating me with scores on my flight home from Maui. Be up in Davis for third win in a row

Trip off to an auspicious start. From Scott Marsh:

‘ I am very thankful to report that our plane carrying the UC Davis Men's Basketball team has just landed back safely at the airport. Upon takeoff there was a terrible noise coming from the plane’s engine. For the next 10 minutes or so everybody sat in stunned silence wondering what the heck was going on. The pilot then came on the intercom and informed us a bird had hit our plane at takeoff. He calmly said the engine was still functioning and we were turning back around and landing in Sacramento. For the next 15+ minutes everyone on board sat quietly on board as the horrendous noise continued. There was one child next to me who thought the plane was going to explode. We did our best to tell him we were fine but it wasn’t working. We did notbknow ourselves what might happen. Thanks to the amazing skill and cool headedness of our pilot crew we were able to make a very successful emergency landing back in Sacramento. I have never landed before to police sirens, fire trucks and ambulances on the runway…all I can say at this moment is that I feel so very fortunate to be alive and to have such great family and friends to share it all with. ❤️ ’


Can’t imagine anyone looking forward to getting on another plane

‘lord I was born a rambling man’

Out of curiosity I checked others who left last year.

Caleb Fuller (grad transfer) is playing about 21 minutes per game at Montana State primarily off the bench. Averaging about 6 points and 4 rebounds. Glad he found a spot for his bonus year.

Aaron Murphy is playing with his brother at northwest nazerene, playing about 16 minutes a game. I thought he’d help us this year with his physical play down low.

No sign of Caleb McGill. Same with graduates Brian Shaw and Cameron Ba.

Speaking of former Ags, on his FIFTH team

How was the attendance Saturday? I don’t see it on the box score

that echoes what I was telling AgAlum yesterday. At this early stage, UCI and USCB seem more complete than us but I think we can get Hawaii here. Fullerton seems down a notch from past years (they play us tough), and hard to get a read on the Beach.

Good to see Milling come alive; we really need his bench points. Hopefully Borba can rrgsin Sind confidence- tough coming back after missing 1/2 the season. Good win. Entering a stretch of 5 games we can win - nice to get in a roll and get in the top half of the standings

he’s played 4 seasons, one is ‘free’ due to COVID. He was an academic all Big Sky so wouldn’t be surprised if he graduated and decided to move on.

I’m glad the comment about our scorers not passing was deleted - that isn’t the most constructive criticism. Especially when Pepper had 7 assists ( and 5 rebounds).

#5; on vacation also and tried to follow via live stats
