That would be great if he gets the job. He has certainly proven that he's a great RB coach while at Cal. Best of luck to the Gould's.

The Tandy Radio Shack beauty with a cassette deck for storage! Now that's getting back there.

I agree. I think these ratings for FCS are pretty much a shot in the dark...

Hahaha....Commodore 64...I used to play Pong on mine for hours...

Wasn't Gould's last class ranked something like #13?

The Ags got off to another slow start offensively and a bunch of TO's but kept it together enough to lead by 2 at the half and then played much better overall in the second half to win it. Bryton Lemar had a great game and was the rock for us in the first half. Siler Schneider came off the bench to give us a good lift when we needed it and Chima Moneke finally got untracked in the second half. Michael Onybalu got some good minutes when the fouls started piling up and he played really well on both ends of the floor.

JT looked pretty good while he was in but fouls continue to limit his PT. I'm not sure what's going on with Mikey Henn. He hasn't been getting much PT lately and seemed out of sync when he did get in the game tonight.

The Aggies held the high scoring Titans to 39% shooting and 11 points under their season average of 76 ppg. Chima had two powerful blocks that sent the ball into the stands in the second half much to the delight of the Aggie fans.

The official attendance was 1507 which is less than half the size we had against Irvine. Hopefully, we'll get a great crowd for the double header on Saturday.

Adding UCSD to the Big West has been widely suspected for long time but I think it is still speculation at this point.

It seems a little more to me than the team expecting an easy time with all the players out for Santa Barbara. This is an interesting team. We have some pretty good talent but we are so inconsistent that it's maddening. There are flashes of brilliance when I think that this team has a lot of room to become better and then there are other times, quite a few actually, where I feel like Les is getting about as much as he can get from the talent he has on this team.

I like this team's character though. They are smart kids who play hard but we are just not quite talented enough to really put teams away. There isn't a single game in the Big West that I would confidently say we will win for sure. Every game is going to be a battle. But, at least we in the thick of it for now.

Darius waited just a fraction of a second too long and the SB player made a smart play and elevated into a long 3 just when he saw he was going to get fouled. Darius was trying to let the clock tick down and he just waited a tad too long.

And, yes, we were not very sharp on this road trip. We're going through a bit of a slump right now. The thing that concerns me is we don't seem to be improving, if anything, we're taking a couple of steps back. Glad we're back in the Pavilion on Wednesday. Hopefully, that will help us get back on track.

The final 2 minutes of the game were wild and the final seconds were just plain crazy. With the Ags up 3 Les had Graham commit a foul rather than risk SB hitting a 3 to tie the game. But, Darius timed his foul late and fouled the player in the act of shooting. The kid misses the first FT so now he needs to make the second FT and intentionally miss the third. He hits the second and tries to miss the third but banked it in. The Ags inbound the ball up one and SB immediately fouls Graham with 1.6 seconds left. Darius hits both FT's to put us back up by 3. SB inbounds the ball and almost banks in a half court 3 and the Ags escape with a win. They also denied Bob Williams getting his 500th win.

In his post-game comments, Coach Les said, "We've got to get better real fast. We have lost our defensive intensity and this team has to have that to succeed." It's true, we are not the kind of team that is going to run anyone out of the gym with our offense. We must defend well to win and, lately, our defense has been breaking down much too often.

The Ags are in first place all by themselves after Long Beach beats Irvine 72-63 handing the Anteaters their 3rd loss in a row.

The Aggies escape from Santa Barbara with a 67-64 heart-stopping win. The game was a chess match in the last 2 minutes between Coach Les and Coach Williams but the Ags made their FT's and barely escaped when the Gauchos' half court shot nearly banked in at the buzzer.

The Aggies struggle to a 32-26 lead at the half over the severely decimated Gauchos. Coach Les was so upset with the way the Aggies started the game with lazy passes and TO's that he pulled 3 starters from the game. They all sat for 5-10 minutes and Moneke remained benched. He only had 7 minutes of PT in the half. Siler Schneider led the Ags with 12 points.

The Aggies complete the road sweep with a 62-48 win. Although they were cold as ice from 3 they made up for it with good defense and great post play. Morgan Bertsch was magnificent and led the Ags with 27 points on 11 of 14 shooting and Marly Anderson came off the bench to score 14 points.

Both teams struggled to make 3's and they both shot a miserable 2-16 for 12.5% which was well below their season averages. But, the Aggies had two more weapons in their arsenal in Bertsch and Anderson and that made the difference.

The Ags have shown that they can win in a variety of ways and, when they put it all together as a team, they are a very, very good team. With only one senior on the team and an excellent trio of recruits coming in, the future is looking very good for the Ags.

Go Ags!

The Ags are up 46-37 after 3 quarters. Morgan Bertsch and Marley Anderson have combined for 33 points.

The Ags are getting it done on the defensive end and lead the Gauchos 30-20 at the half. Morgan Bertsch led the Ags with 11 points. Neither team is shooting the ball very well. The Aggies shot 37% but are only 2 0f 10 from 3. The Ags held the Gauchos to 27% overall and 1 of 8 from 3.

I heard that too. Boy, when it rains, it pours!

Nice to see him get another shot at coaching. He'll be a good fit for Dartmouth.

I agree, PA, that's a nice looking arena.

The Ags came back and made a game of it late, and actually took the lead at 63-62, but Poly made the plays at crunch time and got a well deserved win. This game was practically a tie in every statistical category except one: 3 point shooting. Both teams were 25 of 55 overall but the Mustangs were 9-24 from 3 and the Ags were only 4 of 12.

To the casual fan, it was a hard fought game by both teams. To Coach Les it was a disappointing loss and I agree. Why? Because the Aggies are forming a habit of starting games slow and sluggish and getting themselves down big early. It happened at Riverside and CSUN, then at home against Irvine and now again on the road at Poly. Sure we managed to win 2 of those 4 but the trend is troubling. Sometimes the shots just are not going to fall but good energy and focus need to be there all the time no matter what.

Poly got a lot more help from their bench outscoring us 25-4. Mikey Henn was dressed but didn't play so I assume he may be under the weather or knicked up. Poly's guards, Victor Joseph and Donovan Fields, beat us off the dribble time and time again. We had no answer for their quickness and athletic drives to the basket. They combined for 34 points and made some critical 3's down the stretch. They both play with great confidence and were almost daring the Ags to try and defend them too closely. When we did, they blew by our guards and finished with athletic lay ups. They also have the ability to pull up and knock down contested 3's with only a little opening.

Chima Moneke was single-handedly keeping us within reach for much of the game and finished with yet another double-double with 25 points and 13 rebounds. Brynton Lemar came on in the second half and added 18.

The Ags need to regroup and and play UCSB with intensity from the get go on Saturday.
