Closer than it should have been, but a second game with a whole of fouls. A combined 98 fouls called in SoCal. Sevilla really came through in the clutch.

Hope Stokes is okay.

Some very questionable shot selections by the Ags. As the game gets tight they're rushing to put the ball up like they did at Fullerton.

Sloppy play from both teams.

Neither team is shooting well from the field. UCD at 38% but UCR at an atrocious 26%. Odds are that both teams will improve in the second half, but let's not allow the highlanders to score 50+.

Both teams are 100% from the free throw line and over half the points so far (17of 33) have been from the charity stripe. Maybe the refs should swallow their whistles for awhile.

Are these the same refs from the Fullerton game? They've called 8 fouls in the first 5 minutes.

Riverside is out? They split with Cal Poly, so does SLO own a tie-breaker over UCR?

Glad we don't have to play them again and hope we don't face them in the post-season.

I'm concerned that this kind of loss might create a big problem with the team's morale. I can't think of a worse way to lose a game than to lead all the way down to the last minute, but it's true that they have bounced back from other bad losses this year, just not like this one.This is where Coach Les faces a big challenge to get them to turn it around.

With Hawai`i having lost two in a row, the Anteaters are in the driver's seat. At rear of the car is Bakersfield which has been eliminated from the tournament. As far as the fourth seed is concerned, the Aggies are still in contention but are likely to finish 11-9 at best, so they have to hope one of the three teams above them falters down the home stretch.

I totally agree with you on both points. It was great to see Cooper back in form again. It's not usually fair to say that the refs cost us the game and in this case they called more fouls on the Titans (26) than the Ags (22), but they definitely affected the game. I've never seen so many blocking calls and so many ticky tack ones.

I would never have believed that the Aggies would score 92 and lose, especially with a 2:1 assist to turnover ratio. They played really well for 36 minutes but the game lasts 40.

Why do I think the commentators are the most biased in the Big West?

Titan's #99, Seaman, has nearly half of all their points on 6/7 shooting. Suljanovic is in double figures. I think that's a season high?

Ags hitting 9 of 15 from 3 point land. Almost reminds me of the Corey Hawkins/Tyler Les days.

Ags appear to be on their game so far. Tahoe Blues!

I just read that Sac State has joined the Mid-American Conference for football only so they can move up to the FBS. The MAC has no schools further west than Northern Illinois U. and goes as far east as UMass. So here's another Pacific coast team that will be doing a lot of traveling.

" I think it’s dealing with something physically that’s really limiting him." Since you have first hand observations of Cooper, I stand corrected about his lack of effort being due to his having mentally left the team. No disrespect intended, but these days with the NIL and transfer portal it's not an unusual case. I hope he gets better and comes back next year. The guy is super telanted.

The good news is that the Ags are only a game and a half out of first place and play two of the teams ahead of them. The bad news is that the Ags play two of the teams ahead of them and four games on the road where they are 2-4 so far in the Big West.
