Don't look now but UC Davis is in 5th place in the Big West. With four games left they could hold onto that seed for the tournament. If they keep improving (I felt that the Beach games were a bit of a step back) they could give the top dogs a run for the money. Watch out for CSU Bakersfield.

I'm getting too old for this kind of excitement, especially two days in a row. In two weeks against Cal Poly, I'm hoping for a blowout win. I agree with DrMike, BJ Shaw is a heady, solid player. I saw him nearly steal a dribble, then quickly move to his opponents opposite side in case the guy tried to move around him. Shows that he's a coach's son. My only criticism of the Ags is that they both forced and missed a lot of shots in the paint. At least they ball faked on their perimeter shots enough to avoid the blocks that the Beach got yesterday.

Good job by the Ag sin coming back from 11 down. Their foul shooting is better than yesterday's (which--if you subtract Anigwe's 0 for 7 was merely mediocre). but both teams fouling a lot. That is usually a sign of tired defense, meaning that the players are not moving their feet and reaching in a lot. If their shooting imrpoves (35% at the half) they should win.

Tried to find it on ESPN3. Nada. I'm not going to bother with ESPN anymore unless a game is missing on BigWestTV.

Good idea DrMike. Done!

Does anyone know if it's possible to edit the topic line for a discussion post? Clearly what I wrote before has changed and I don't want it to mislead any fans who might rely on this site for the game time.

Friday funk continues. What do I call a game with 33 combined turnovers and about 50% foul shooting by both teams? Ugly. Did anyone notice that the Ags were getting a lot of perimeter shots blocked? That's gotta give Coach Les a headache. Still, it was an exciting game and a win is a win.

Figures. My ESPN feed has gone all haywire.

Did anyone catch what happened to the Beach's Isaiah Washington? Is he hurt, on COVID quarantine?

ESPN states that the game is on ESPN3 but I can't find it. Finally got the BigWestTV stream in time to see LBSU score 5 points.

BigWestTV has the broadcast starting at 1:30. Who's in charge around here?

Thanks, DrMike. I wonder why they changed the time? Did you get the email from the UCD Athletic Department?

Yes, that new bridge is not very steady, especially around the volcanoes. Not such tiny bubbles.

I wonder why the team does so much better on the second day of a Big West series? Is it due to still being rusty from the long layoff? Any ideas?

Uh-oh, 49-42 with 12 minutes left. Ags continuing to turn the ball over.

Aggies up 36-17 at the half. I don't know it I've ever seen a team play better than the Aggies did in the first 12 minutes of the game. They even held the Matadors to 57.1% shooting from the foul line. : ) I'm a little concerned that they got a bit sloppy after that, but we'll see how they come out in the second stanza.

I do not find Herenda's sesquipadelian utterances to be incommodious or egregiously inappropriate even for an athletic recontre.:nerd:

This is shaping up to be the most heart breaking season it has ever been my misfortune to witness. Not just the cancellations, but the way the kids lose. I'm betting (hoping) they come back and win handily tomorrow. The big problems today were 3 point shooting (18.8%) and turnovers a lot of them unforced on sloppy passing. I note that Fuller's 30 points today came on 2 point FGs and 15 points worth of free throws.

Aggies down 4 at the half, but they can play a lot better in every category. Too many turnovers, not enough assists, need better shooting and to hit the boards harder. Defense is just okay. This game is totally within reach as long as they get their act together.

Thanks, BlueGoldAg. This is a good story. I had no idea that the team was not allowed to fly to San Diego. The guys really pull it together to get one win and the article neglected to mention that it doesn't even count in the conference standings.
