Wish I could be there, but I'll be one of the millions watching it on TV in Hawaii!

I like the idea of the Hornies being in the Big West, but living in Hawaii, I love being able to root for the Ags once a year. I don't think the league can give Hawaii the boot in any case. Hawaii will have to want to leave and they might if they can join the WCC, which is very doubtful.

I can't help but think that these kids (and we have to remember that they are all young men) ease back when they play an opponent with a poor record. On the road, that's a mortal error without the home crowd to cheer them on.

I confess that I never saw Mike Lein play. I do know that he holds the UCD season rebounding record, but he played Div. II. I note that the Sac Bee article about Moneke calls him the most athletic player ever. Hyperbole notwithstanding, the writer did not qualify that statement as the most athletic big man ever but overall.

Thanks for the nice recap, BlueGoldAg. I haven't been to a game in Davis since the last century, but I sure wish I could have been at this one. Long way to go yet, though.

I agree with BlueGoldAggie that UCI will be heavily motivated to beat the Ags. I'm not sure how Cal Poly was able to pull off the upset considering they had not won a conference game before Thursday and were the visiting team. UC Davis will have to play their best to win, but they have a real shot. I wish more of their games were shown out here in Hawaii, but it's a lot better than in the past when the papers out here didn't show more than the score.

Last night I watched Hawaii beat CSUN on a made trey with .9 seconds left. Hawaii has caught fire lately, beating both Long Beach State and the Matadors with last second flurries. They have a transfer from UCLA named Noah Allen who after struggling most of the season scored 25 against the Beach and 30 against Northridge. If the Aggies don't figure out a way to contain him they will be in for a tough night.
