That makes sense to me. Could just be that the article was wrong.

Game summary on ucdavisaggies.com says the Aggies are a 5-seed. Hmm.

Yup, great way to head into the conference tourney.

Irvine fans are over the moon.

Well, how about that.

Aggies defeat LBSU 65-56!

CSUN did not beat Hawaii.

If CSUN can beat Hawaii tonight, Davis has a chance to stick in the #4 spot!

(Not very likely, but we can hope...:lol: )

80-59, Aggies win!

Good start to the final week of the regular season.

Four Aggies in double figures: Gray (13), Sabel (12), Turner (11), and Baker (11).
Sussman with 10 rebounds to lead a team effort that out-rebounded SB 39-22

The foul counts are something else. 26 fouls for UCD leading to 26 pts in free throws for SB on 26-31 shooting; 14 fouls for SB leading to 3 (3!) fts for Davis. What the heck?

Yeah, post play will be...interesting, given that the other two posts on the team just graduated. I think Norris will develop, but there's no one to back her up, really.

I do think the athleticism is there for competent press-break, just gotta drill and redrill and redrill the technique into the current team.

70-65 final.

Sabel the leading scorer (17) ahead of Norris (14) and Sussman (ditto).
Rebounds spread all over the team, but interestingly, two guards each with 6.
Turner the leading assister (5)--it's nice that when she's cold, she can and will do other things on the court.

17 turnovers, 9 or so in the last 10 minutes, I'd guess.

It's a good thing the Aggies have been up 20+, because SLO's press is killing them.

Epps has some really nifty paint moves.

58-36 after three.

43-15 Aggies at half. Sabel continuing her hot streak with 17 points already.

I am sure there are other teams that do this, but I really like Jen's tradition of starting the seniors.

70-58 final. Aggies hung with Fullerton for three quarters, but the poor 1st quarter did them in.

Sabel went off for 31 pts and 7 rebounds. Unfortunately, she and Turner (14 pts) were basically the entire offense.

Well, the deficit didn't get any worse...heh.

40-27 at halftime. Aggies are cold, cold, cold, and Fullerton is hot, hot, hot. Defense needs to show up big time in the 2nd half.

BTW, that section of the Big West bylaws also sets that standings are set by winning percentage if teams don't play a full conference schedule:

"In the event that all teams do not play a complete conference schedule, the final regular
season standings (and possible championship tournament seeding) will be based on
winning percentage in conference contests."

Big West rule is 5 + 3 reserves.

In the event of an issue beyond the control of the institution, a team shall be expected to
honor a scheduled contest if it can field a starting line-up and a suitable number of
reserves for that particular sport. A suitable number of reserves in the sport of basketball
shall be three players.
