I know the coaches must be exhausted but I hope they're following up on recruiting. Gotta strike while the iron is hot!

Nice video of the Aggies return celebration and a shout out to Rob Lowe from Coach Les:

It would be great if Rob Lowe would open his pocketbook and make a generous donation to the Ags!

Complete BS that shows just how much power the big conferences have!

I don't know if they recalculate the seeds after each game. If that was the case, as you say 6th, the Ags should get a home game. I hope it happens. This team deserves a home game. Unfortunately, I'll miss the game if we are fortunate enough to get it at home. I'll be in Florida and Atlanta until April 1st...darn!

Survive and advance! The Ags come back and hold on for a gutsy win over a very tough CSU team 58-57.

The Rams game plan almost worked to perfection. Their plan was to take Morgan Bertsch completely out of the game and deny the Aggies anything in the paint. They certainly accomplished that. Morgan ended up with 0 points, 5 rebounds and fouled out early. She barely played in the second half.

So the rest of the team needed to step up to live and play again and they sure did. Rachel Nagel went down with a knee injury when she slammed into the Aggie bench trying to make a save in second quarter. Then she hobbled back in the third quarter hit several treys to get the Ags back in the game and finished with 16 points. Kourtney Eaton and Pele Gianotti added 12 apiece and Marly Anderson filled in nicely for Bertsch with 7 points and 6 boards including a critical 3.

The Aggies are now 25-7 and will play the Cougars of Washington State at a site TBD. The Aggies and the Cougars have won their first 2 games on the road. WSU beat BYU 72-64 and Wyoming 68-67.

It would be great if the selection committee decided to give the Aggies a home game. The Cougars are only 14-19 on the season so, regardless of being a PAC-12 team, I think the Ags deserve the home court in this one. We'll see, the PAC-12 is a power conference with a lot more influence than the Big West.

Great win by the Aggies!

The Ags are just not getting after it on defense...

The Ags need to make some serious adjustments at halftime. The Rams defense has got the Ags completely out sync on offense and the Aggies are not playing with enough defensive intensity. CSU is playing Bertsch very physical and double/triple teaming her every time she touches the ball.

Two bogus fouls in the final minute on Bertsch by the same ref saddled her with 3 fouls. The first was a horrible call on Morgan for an offensive foul on a jab step. Morgan protested and the same ref gave her another foul moments later when there was barely any contact, if any at all, on the defensive end. Looked like pay back from the thin skinned ref.

The Ags are getting outplayed right now. They are losing the battle of defensive intensity and are not taking care of the ball. They look flustered.

CSU is doubling Bertsch on every touch and it's been effective so far.

From Bruce Gallaudet: Aggie Nation without Darius, Brynton and JT? Not yet, let's keep celebrating

As well as the Sac Bee covered the men's great run, I feel like they snubbed the women. The Bee didn't even mention the score of the Ags first postseason D1 win in Aggie history. They beat a pretty good PAC-12 team and they deserved coverage by the Bee.

Over the years a lot of Aggie fans have been critical of the limited, and some believe biased, coverage of Aggie sports by the Sacramento Bee, but I thought the coverage of the of the Aggies historic run from the conference tournament to the Kansas game was really good. The amount of media publicity generated for the university and Aggie basketball over the past week has been incredible.

Coach Les was right when he said that "this team put UC Davis on the map nationally and internationally," and you could not have asked for better ambassadors for the university than the players on this team each and every time a microphone was placed in front of them.

The coaches and players were phenomenal and the future of Aggie basketball just took a giant step forward.

The Sac Bee's Ailene Voisin on the Aggies historic run:

Excerpt: "In the end, after the heavily favored Kansas Jayhawks chased them back to the farm, the UC Davis Aggies were left with 13 glorious minutes inside the BOK Center, one stirring victory in their NCAA Tournament debut, and enough stirring memories to wipe away the tears."

Postgame interviews after the game.

Kansas starts at the 6:30 mark and the Aggies start at the 16:14 mark:

(Y) 100% agree with you Toke69. These kids put their hearts into it and gave us every ounce they had. Five tough games in 9 days, many hours of travel, interviews and hoopla galore and then they go up against perhaps the best team in college basketball this year to boot. What more could you ask from these kids? It's astonishing what they accomplished.

Great set of photos:

Dear basketball,
Thank you for giving me life, for giving me an escape, and for picking me up when I was down.
Love always,

From Chima's twitter account:

"Regardless of tonight, this is the best season I've ever been a part of and I'm so proud to be an Aggie. Hope we made y'all proud!"

Also this shows you what a class act Chima is: In the tunnel outside the locker room, UC Davis' Chima Moneke pulled Bill Self aside: "Go win it all coach."

I get that, 6th. I also wish we could get a decent OOC or 2 at home. Holy Names and William Jessop just doesn't cut for me.

Enterprise article on the game:

Excerpt: “I don’t want tonight and the outcome and the score to take away from what this group did,” Aggies coach Jim Les told the assembled media afterward. “They put UC Davis basketball and UC Davis on the map — nationally, internationally.

“They were just a special group.”

“We just had as an emotional locker room as I’ve ever been a part of,” said the sixth-year UCD coach. “And just we as a staff appreciating all this group gave to us all year and all the things they overcame and how they bonded together and allowed us to push them.

“They accomplished some wonderful feats that I don’t want this game to take away.”
