There were a few years when UOP and UNLV were good when the BW got an at-large bid in addition to the conference champ, I think, but yeah, one-bid conference for the most part.

Game notes are up for Round Three vs Hawaii: https://ucdavisaggies.com/news/2021/3/11/womens-basketball-aggies-rainbow-wahine-round-three.aspx

The two teams waving to each other from their respective ends of the court is a little sad.

SLO wins 61-60 on a buzzer beater!

Wow, potentially exciting end to the game coming up! Up one, LB went to the line to shoot two FTs with seven seconds left. Missed BOTH and SLO got the rebound. Immediate timeout and it'll be SLO ball with six second on the clock.

Campisano to the bench with four fouls and still 5 minutes remaining in the game. Not helpful for SLO--she has 60% of their points.

edit: fouled out with 3 minutes remaining. :grimace:

Just a thought as this game continues: Sierra Campisano has 26pts/12rb (so far!). Davis held her to 21/14 total in the two regular season games vs SLO. De-fense! *clap clap*

LBSU out to a three point lead by the end of the 3Q: 39-42.

SLO clinging to slim one point lead, 26-25 at half. Definitely a slightly different game than the Irvine/Santa Barbara shoot out!

SLO leading LBSU 15-9 after one quarter.

Expecting contact, maybe? I agree that "game three" will hinge more on the Davis offense--less worried about the defense.

81-67 Hawaii FINAL.

Difference in the game was that Hawaii shot THIRTY-FIVE (35) free throws (and made 27 of them) to Bakersfield's mere 22 FT attempts (made 14). Four of Bako's starting five players finished the game with four fouls apiece. :gasp:

57-50 Hawaii after three. Easley was shut out in the third.

39-36 Hawaii at half. Both teams shot 12-27, coincidentally. Bako Guard Andie Easley with 15 in the first half!

I dunno. Any team that hasn't already seen that this year and last year's teams don't put away teams like the Bertsch/Twins-era teams did hasn't been paying attention, IMO*. The Aggies are going to draw inspired ball no matter what, I think--comes with the seeding.

*they've continued winning, though. Gritty, nail-biting wins.

BGA and OBA clearly on the same "survive and advance" wavelength. :lol: :up:

I think Bako wins that game--Hawaii looks pretty mortal away from the island.

First I'd heard of it was in a blurb about this year's ASG. Interesting concept.

61-54 final, Aggies win! (at least I think it's final...might be another clown invasion...stat tracker sitting at 00:00 in teh 4Q)

Hall with a 20/10 double double (plus a couple assists). Stobbart in a pack of players with high single digit scoring, plus a handful of rebounds and three more blocks. 12 assists on 18 FG, overall for the Aggies, which is Davis basketball.

As mentioned previously, Trpcic did not have a good day, responsible for half of the teams turnovers. :grimace:

Seven players with double-figure minutes.

I hate end games like this. Foul, FTs, TO, shot, TO, foul, FTs, TO. *sigh
