#@!^& BigWestTV. Wish I'd been able to see it. Ags finally making 3s.

My stream is frozen out here in Hawaii too, UCD up 27-18 at halftime according to ESPN.

ESPN gives the Aggies a 73.2% chance of beating Cal Poly.

Two odd statistics from the game. Fullerton got 7 blocks on Aggie shots. That seems about right. On the other hand, UC Davis only made 7 turnovers to the Titans 19. That difference was not enough to off-set the discrepancy in shooting percentage.

Allman and Ahmad went for 52, same as the game in Fullerton, but we would have won this if Moneke was playing. Tough loss.

Aggies not shooting well. At the half, 0 for 8 from 3. 12/31 overall. Fullerton shot 5 for 9 from 3.

The fact that the team did not fold when down so far is a very good sign for not only the rest of this season but for next year.

UCSB was 0 for 2 since I posted that. On BigWestTV, the commentator said they need to make half time adjustments, but you don't wait until half time. Les seems to have stopped trying to force the ball inside to Russell who is no Moneke in there. They've also gone to a man to man to defend the perimeter but the Gauchos have been abel to get some easy shots inside due to some good play by their offense. Ags can still pull this out if they continue to play tight defense to create turnovers, but they also need to be more efficient on offense. They're not doing badly hitting 6 for 11 from 3 but 7 for 19 from closer to the hoop.

Gauchos very hot from beyond the arc. 8/11 at this point. Even with Moneke their 19 game home winning streak would be in trouble.

Goaags, this is really funny. You should write for comedy shows.

This story is from the Davis Enterprise: https://www.davisenterprise.com/sports/reason-for-moneke-suspension-remains-a-mystery/ . It states that the University has not disclosed what Chima did, but the article does note that Coach Les made the decision to suspend him. It was not the result of any University action. Finally, the story states that the University's Judicial Affairs Office in handling the situation and that they are trying to talk to people in Southern California. I presume that means the staff of Warner Center Marriott where the team was staying.

Assuming that the Aggies can make the tournament (huge assumption, I know), anything would be better than a 16 seed, especially as a play-in team.

UC Davis' RPI rating is now 83. Time to start wondering what their seed might be if they make it into the NCAA tournament?

The video shows Monson at the very end then cuts to a different one of Shorts final drive and shot. I am grateful for the highlight video but the Long Beach interview was not there. I'll find it on YouTube, but wanted you to know.

As the creator of this site, I thought you should know that the "Terms of Service" text is no longer accessible.

BlueGoldAg,

I totally agree with you that that was a very gutsy win by the Aggies. On reflection, the whole team made the effort to keep it close enough for Shorts to win the game on that incredible basket. All 9 guys who played scored and every one of them except Hennings got a rebound. They also only made 6 turnovers after the opening minutes. All of this, too, after Moneke got suspended and you have to believe that their original game plan included Chima, so the coaches had to have made some great adjustments.

Unbelievable! This was a game for the ages. Most exciting finish I've seen for an Aggie game since 1969.

I finally got a chance to go on BigWestTV. It's half-time and the Ags clearly miss Chima, but Shorts is doing a great job penetrating and Schneider is holding up his end of offense. The 49ers have a big edge on the boards. I'm sure that the game will go down to the wire. Has anyone noticed the huge screen on the Pyramid's wall behind the backboard? Gotta be a distraction for the foul shooters with some the images on there. I want to see what is there when Long Beach is on the line.

I notice that A. J. John went 3 for 4 from beyond the arc last night. When I saw him i Hawaii I was impressed by the flow of his shot. He seems to have great confidence when he rises to shoot and his form is very good. I wonder if he is rounding into a real perimeter threat. The biggest problem the offense has is a lack of consistent perimeter scoring.

Movielover,

Well, my preference was to have stayed in Davis, but I got married out here and pretty much lived her for half my life. It's hard to portray a place in a few words, but here are a few thoughts: It's warm all of the time, people here are very friendly and polite, the population is very diverse, the politics are very liberal, the cost of living is similar to the Bay Area, you cannot drive more than 40 miles in one direction and we get occasional false alarms about nuclear missiles.
