Fuller has made tremendous progress during his time here so he'll be a key loss. I've always felt that Ba and Shaw were quite talented but their playing time was very limited each season.

She was the best we ever heard at a basketball game and better than many we've heard on many big time, televised games. They should bring her back again!

It was really strange. They needed to foul quickly and they were just letting time run off the clock with no defensive pressure. I turned to my wife and said, "What the hell are they doing, they have to foul or the games over."

In the post-game, radio interview, Manjon said he thinks they thought the score was tied. I think their coach was screaming at them to foul and one of the players finally saw him and fouled Pepper. It certainly was a big mistake letting all those seconds tick off.

Les has a great eye for recruiting undervalued players and it's a pleasure to see them develop over the years. We're a young team also so the future is bright.

I'm surprised that UCSB has struggled as much as they have this year. They get some highly rated recruits and transfers each year so they aren't short on talent.

Sitting behind Tyler Les is entertaining; he’s not afraid to voice his displeasure with the referees! — DrMike

Haha...neither am I! :rage:

I think fuller hit his head. He looked a little dazed when they walked him back to locker room — DrMike

Les commented post-game that Fuller got hit in the mouth and there was a lot of blood. He may have hit his head also because, like you said, he looked dazed as they led him to the locker room. They were also checking inside his mouth before they took him to the locker room.

Les also said he asked Fuller if there was anything dirty on the play and Fuller said, "no."

This was a hard fought win for the Aggies and they really needed a win since 8 of their last 16 games have been cancelled. It's hard to be in great form and peaking when you can't play games without long layoffs every other week. Manjon said that the team couldn't even practice in the gym at times and had to practice outdoors.

There were 48 fouls called: 22 on the Ags and 26 on the Runners with the Ags going 29 of 35 from the line and Bake going 20 of 23. I thought the officiating was very uneven. They let the game get very physical in the first half and then started calling touch fouls in the second so it was a ragged game without either team really being able to get into an offensive rhythm.

I like the way the Ags hung tight though and I thought they played pretty good defense and some stops when they really counted. Fuller took a violent hit to the mouth and had to leave the game. I hope he'll be good to go next week. He's made a lot of progress this year. Good to see Borra and Murphy getting playing time when Anigwe got in early foul trouble.

I like the heart that this team has. Hopefully, they will get to actually play their final 4 games!

Shawn Smith is a beast. 20 points already. We’re having trouble with his physical play. The officials are really letting him bang like a bull inside and he’s drawing a lot of fouls. Hard to defend him when they are letting him be so physical.

Ags lose 84-75. Hall had 29 points and 13 rebounds and Turner dropped in 18.

This team is hard to figure. Just when it looked like they were finding their stride and after blowing out Poly by 30 points on Thursday, they turn around and get solidly beaten by the worst team in the conference and gave up 84 points in doing so. They got a total of 2 points from the bench for the entire game also.

The Ags lose the game from yesterday that was postponed in the bottom of the 9th and resumed today. 4-2 final score.

The game was suspended in the 9th due to darkness with the Ags trailing 4-2. The game will be completed starting at 1 pm Saturday with the regularly scheduled game to follow 30 minutes afterwards.

Tied 2 to 2 in the bottom of the 6th.

Sage had 4 more blocks...she's a blocking machine. 19 TO's are the poor stat from this game but, when you shoot 57% overall and 48% from downtown, it doesn't really matter. It's not a good trend though...

Great ball movement, 64% shooting and the whole bench is getting a lot of playing time.

7 is the minimum numbers of players.

The Ags are a tight knit group and I just hope they value their relationships with their teammates and coaches plus their education more than the bright lights of what think could be a bigger stage.

I'm pretty sure you are right about the cancellations, Mike. The last 3 are due to Covid protocol with the Aggies and the others were other teams cancelling because of Covid. So Covid and bad luck are doing us in as far as getting to play.

Ugh...if feels like this season is being systematically eliminated game by game...

The Ags race out to a 35-18 lead at the half despite 10 TO's. Defense has held UCI to 27% and 0-13 from 3. Konrad and Hall have 10 apiece.

It wasn't pretty but it goes in the win column and this team really needed this win. Stobbart had only 3 points but had 5 blocks and Evan Turner went scoreless which is highly unusual.
