Betting odds are based on what the bookies think the pubic will put money on so that the bookies make a profit. They're right often enough to make a lot of money. So if they thought people will bet on UC Davis to come within 3 points of Hawaii, that's where they put the betting line.

I've been encouraged by how Milling played against UCR. He hasn't been the deep threat we expected so far, but perhaps we expected too much. If he is feeling more comfortable now, he might be the X-factor against Hawaii.

The Honolulu paper gave a lot of credit to Callum McRae for the Highlanders win. The big guy had 19 points and 3 assists, which means that Hawaii did not defend him as well as we did and their front court is bigger than ours. I wasn't impressed with him so either he was having a bad night or the Aggies were doing a very effective job on defense. Matchups being what they are, it's not at all predictive of how UCD will fare against Hawaii. I call this game a toss-up depending on which Aggie teams shows up.

The commentary was fine and I can understand some bias. After all, they are generally broadcasting for the home team fans. They can speak favorably of certain players and talk about what they need to do to win. What I do not like is the active rooting for the home team on close calls and as the home team rallies. I find it unprofessional.

Some nice clutch shooting by Fuller and Milling at the end

Are our guys that biased?

TV guys are really showing their bias. They're totally pulling for UCR. Sheesh!

Aggies getting lazy on defense. Good time out call by Coach Les.

Hope the Ags don't fade in the second half as they did against the Beach and Fullerton. So far, so good.

Riverside is as cold as an alpine stream: 27.8% from the floor.

Why is there a bear's face on the court?

Anigwe is in the game and he is clearly far more athletic than McRae. I think the Ags have a fighting chance in this one.

Just checked the Highlanders stats. They have four starters who all average in double figures but no one stand out. They also have a 7'1" center, Callum McCrae who averages 8.8 points and 8.4 rebounds per game. They handed Fullerton their first Big West loss. The Aggies will need to bring their A game to have a chance tonight.

It was almost like the team was enervated the way so many of their lay-ups were simply not strong enough. Very mysterious. Same thing with foul shots. I heard one of the commentators say that the Ags are last in the conference at 67%. Coach Les needs to figure some things out or they're going to finish near the bottom of the league.

I don't recall seeing the team play this poorly in a long time. Of course, I missed the games against Sac State and Academy of Art.

This game is starting to resemble the Fullerton game. Ags had a lead but tied at the half. Also heard Bob Williams say that Hampton is out with covid.

The Beach has a forward named Joe Hampton who was in the reality TV Series "Last Chance U."

Is it my imagination or has the size of the group following UCD Men's basketball shrunk in the last two years? I count only four others besides myself posting about last night's game. If true, I can understand it, given the number of cancellations and the inconsistent play of this year's team, but still...

A very disappointing loss. Not sure what happened in the second half, but give credit to the Titans for being aggressive and coming back from behind in both halves. Their guards did a good job of containing Manjon and Anigwe was not much of an offensive factor. Getting only 10 free throws and making only 4 of them didn't help either, but mostly it almost seemed like they got demoralized late i the game and gave up the fight.

Ags were up by 9 and Coach Les is using a lot more players than any time for awhile. Good to have that depth again. Now up by only 2, but this looks like a game of runs.
