Ha....good point!

The Ags should post this analysis by an MSU fan on the locker room wall:

Well I watched over half of their Big West championship game. I don't know how they stayed close to Oregon. There is absolutely no doubt in my mind that if they were in the MVC that they would be in a play-in game. I would say the only D1 opponent we have played that is worse than UC Davis is Evansville. They are slow in getting back in transition, average to slow overall. They do have active hands defensively but seem unable to stop dribble penetration. Very careless passing. All of the teams in their conference besides them are worse than SIU in the ratings . It is clear that that league is weak. It seemed to me that they probably won their conference by being less bad than others in the conference. My summary may be too hard on them but even if so we should absolutely not lose this game. They try to play good defense but they are too slow and unathletic to do so for the most part and their defense should pose no problem for us.

Much better draw than typically going to Stanford for sure! This will be a very tough test for the Aggies though. Missouri State is 21-2 overall and 16-0 in the Missouri Valley Conference. Last year they went 26-4 & 16-2. They take their basketball seriously in the midwest.

I missed it. Did they show the Aggies celebrating?

The bias in these polls is embarrassing at times. Just gotta keep improving and winning.

Agree, the bias in these polls at times is ridiculous.

Athlon Sports moved us up from #20 to #12 and Weber State remains #1. They also have EWU at #20 and Idaho at #24.

:lol:

That could well be but both have stated that their decisions are dependent upon graduate school opportunities and the potential for playing pro. Trpcic wants to go to medical school and I believe that Hall originally talked about medical school as well. So I would imagine that their decisions would be dependent first and foremost about acceptance to medical schools if that's the case.

Realistically, I don't think it's highly likely that either of them would be selected in the WNBA draft. That leaves open playing abroad as a pro like so many other Aggies have done. Another year playing for the Ags as a graduate students might increase their stock in playing pro abroad if they choose that route also.

We may need to run the table in the rest of our games to have a chance to get into the playoffs since there will only be 16 teams selected for the playoffs this year instead of the normal 24.

The extra year due to the pandemic is creating some interesting scenarios. How does this affect recruiting and scholarship availability? Will Hall or Trypcic decide to stay and play another year? Of course, this is all assuming that the pandemic will be under control by then too.
There are a lot of unknowns...

UCSB beats Irvine 79-63. First time to the NCAA for the Gauchos since 2011.
