I agree. I still can't understand what the NDSU coaches were thinking since the OL of NDSU seemed to be manhandling the Montana DL in the OT periods prior to the gimmick play. Why not stay with your strength and run the ball in from 3 yards out?

Irvine will certainly be competing for the Big West title this season. They are solid throughout their lineup and they are smart and disciplined. Long Beach is very long and athletic and has wins over Michigan and USC but they are chaotic and unfocused too often. Santa Barbara has a lot of talent also but they've played a pretty weak pre-conference schedule and haven't been as consistent as Irvine. Hawaii could figure into the front runners also but they're always a bit of an unknown since they generally play well on the island but not so well on the road.

Wonderful comment on X from LB's Coach Jackson about Teddye Buchanan. He was certainly one of the best LBers ever to wear an Aggie uniform. I hope he does well at Cal next year.

The Aggies had Aiden Sullivan on campus a few days ago. He's showing 11 D1 offers now after getting an offer from Washington State.

12/16 games:

Irvine 121 South Dakota 78 - Irvine scored 72 points in the paint!
Santa Barbara 68 Loyola Marymount 59
Cal Baptist 70 Riverside 69

32-16 is what the box score shows so that's outstanding for us. Milling had 8, Losé 7 and Tamba 6. I don't think we'll see rebounding stats like that once we start playing the conference games against the teams that not only have size but have athletic size.

What a dumb call. 2nd OT, — cmt

My thoughts exactly! That's on the NDSU coach...horrible call...especially after the NDSU OL was dominating Montana in the OT's. I couldn't believe what I was seeing as they began to run that play. Good grief!

I wondering about when we will ever see him play as well. Bob Williams said that the coaching staff think are really high on him and we certainly need all the interior help we can get. Ade is still out also. I hope he's not out for a long time too.

I listened to the post-game, radio interview with Coach Les and, needless to say, he was happy with the team overall especially coming out of finals weeks which he said is really stressful for everyone. He said TY had a final after practice yesterday and Rocak was still turning in lab reports too.

He said that the coaches have been emphasizing to the team that they have to play through the adversity that each game has when things aren't going their way. He liked how the team responded to the runs that Pacific would start to make and that we matched the Tiger's intensity each time they started to get some momentum. The Aggies lost their previous 4 games in a row after having a lead in the second half so it was nice to see them finally stretch the lead and maintain it until the final buzzer.

TY was 2-15 from 3 prior to today's game and he went 5-8 from 3 today. Les said that he's so good at driving to the basket and creating problems for teams that teams are starting to play off him and give him more space to try and contain his driving ability and that is giving him more space to shoot from the outside. TY was interviewed after the game and he was very humble and gave a lot of credit to his teammates for him scoring 30 points today. He also talked about how it is such a privilege to play alongside Pepper who he said is not only a great basketball player but an even better person.

82-61 Aggies Final

The Ags are doing their best to let Pacific back in the game after being up by 23 and a chance to put the game away by committing 5 TO's. Lead cut to 14.

43-34 Aggies at the half.

31-13 run by the Aggies and they lead 36-29 with 4:36 to go in the half.

The Ags are off to what has become a common poor start and trail 12-5 at the first media TO including a missed dunk.

OC position also officially posted. — movielover

Is there a link for this announcement?

12/15 game:

Fresno State 61 Bakersfield 58

Wow...SDSU 59 Albany 0

Brothers playing together. That will be special for them.

I'm glad to hear that he survived and is slowly recovering although it sounds like his life has been changed forever. Gun violence in America is just so freaking awful. It just breaks my heart.
