How were we lucky enough to get Psyk from Harvard?

Perhaps being the Bi Sky game of the week matters to ESPN.

Nice to see a camera on the field getting close ups.

I am certain that it was Abatemarco because he was on camera at the start if the broadcast and it showed his name, otherwise I would not have been able to spell it. :-) Also, hi style was the same as it was for the Menlo game. His favorite phrase was "He's a good player." At the end of the game he noted that that would be his last game, which is why I am hopeful that Bob Williams will beback.

I guess we lost some folks when ESPN screwed up the broadcast, but the Ags had an impressive second half, I think they have a solid starting five and some good depth as well. Tonight gave ma a better sense of how the team is shaping up. Marcus Wilson wasn't flashy but he shows signs of being a solid point guard and Sevilla is shooting from distance in a way that reminds me of Eli Pepper. Rocak and Cooper form as solid a pair of forwards as I've seen recently and Omer Suljanovic showed that he can be a force as well. I think Bob Williams will be doing the color for future home games and that's good too.

Conner Sevilla is 5 of 6 from 3-point range (2 more than the Bison have as a team) and leads all scorers with 17. Nils Cooper has 12.

According to DrMike, "New color man is Tom Abatemarco who is our general manager and long time coach."

The Aggies did a nice job of adjusting their play after a ragged start, especially on the defensive boards. I hope they can keep it up in the second half. This game is totally winnable. Coach Abatemarco is doing a better job this game. I like the way he speaks fro his coaching experience, but he uses too much jargon sometimes.

NCAA site shows the score to be 18-16 with 5:11 left in the half.

ESPN Gamecast no longer works.

ESPN Gamecast stilll works, score now 18-14.

Yes ESPN Video lost.

It always puzzled me how people can rely on past contests between teams (i.e NDSU is 3-1 vs, UC Davis) to predict a current matchup unless the previous game(s) were very recent. As it is, teams now change more than ever and even a previous season's results in no way suggest who will win today. This is not to say that I think the Aggies will win, but it is very hard to judge how good they are based on that first game.

It's clear that Nils is being more aggressive on offense. He looks for his shot a lot more than he did last year, but he's also playing smart, not forcing his shot. I wasn't able to keep track of who missed all those putbacks and layups against Menlo, but I don't think he had many of those.

Thanks. I seem to recall seeing posts of the audio of Coach Les, but it hasn't been a regular thing. I don't think I can access it independently of this site or can I?

I hope the Ags continue to hit 3s the way they did today. Six players hit at least one and the team combined for an NBA worthy 48%, which kind of compensated for all the missed layups. I don't know about the officiating, with 48 fouls called and 57 free throws attempted. Maybe the refs were trying out new whistles?

Yes, he got a cut under his left eye.

"Les won't like the 60% FT!" Especially that the starters are shooting 50%.

I'm hoping that Wilson will emerge as the high quality point guard we've gotten used to having. We sure could use T Y Johnson now. He must be turning over in his grave at all the dead bunnies.

I hope Bob Williams does the color for many of the games. Coach Abatemarco knows his stuff but he doesn't have the on air charisma as Coach Williams and his commentary is more incisive.
