Jackson is a very strong, athletic player but, like Oldbanduhalum stated, he didn't seem comfortable on the floor when he did get a few minutes last year. He had a bit of the "deer in the headlights" look about him and it could be that he simply didn't respond well to Coach Les' style but that pure speculation.

I see something similar happening with Caleb Fuller this year. He seemed to lose confidence as the early season progressed and was finally relegated to the bench. He's a big, strong player as well but so far his season hasn't gone as many fans had hoped it would.

Oldbanduhalum summed it up nicely. The Aggie defense was a thing of beauty. CSUF got a few uncontested shots but probably less than 5 the entire game. Siler made several clutch plays on defense and scored some critical baskets too. Gonzalez hit three 3's in the first half to help keep us close but neither team shot well from beyond the arc.

I thought this was a gut-check win by the Aggies. It wasn't pretty from an offensive viewpoint but it goes in the W column.

The Aggies swept Sac State today in a DH 4-1 and 3-2 in their first ever Beach Volleyball competition.

This year's team has really come around after a very slow start. I think they still have to win in the post-season to be considered as good as last year's team. That team was special and they had some big wins in the WNIT. This year's team very good in their own way and they are really playing with confidence right now. I hope they keep it going.

Nice rebound by the Aggies tonight after their disappointing performance against Irvine. Outstanding defense the whole game by everyone. TJ, Siler and Garrison all played really well.

None of those players are redshirting. Underwood redshirted last year and rarely sees any playing time. I think Squire and Fuller have played in too many games this year to be eligible for redshirting.

The Aggies found a way to win despite the 10% shooting from 3. They've been on fire from 3 lately but not today. Basketball can be a fickle game...

Anyone getting the live stream and have a link for it? ESPN3 says they're having technical difficulties.

He was an excellent coach and recruiter. I hate to see him coaching at EWU with the kind of "win at any cost and leave no doubt" culture that HC Aaron Best has created there.

This was the second worst offensive performance of the year for the Aggies and we've had some dreadful ones. The worst was in the season opener where we got blown out by USF 76-42 and we shot only 27.5% overall and 15.8% from 3. This was almost as bad:

30.2% FG shooting overall including 22.2% in the second half
21.4% from 3 including 14.3% from 3 in the second half
61.9% from the FT line

It's unfortunate that we were ice cold before a good crowd (3777) in a nationally televised game. That kind of performance won't do anything to increase our attendance and fan support.

Just read all your posts and I got a feel for how the game went from them. Thanks!

Like Coach Les said in the post-game interview, "we go our butts beat." Irvine is a really good basketball team. They're quick, long, deep and they play outstanding defense. We got shellacked but it was still a really fun atmosphere in the Pavilion.

This one is over. Time to shake it off and get ready for Fullerton on Saturday.

Yowza...I think I need to be going to the gym more often...she is one fit woman!

This is a great promotion!

She is really impressive in this video. She reminds me of a young Morgan Bertsch...great defense and inside/out shooting. We'll have some big girls inside with Stobbart and and our 6'5 recruit, Kenedy Lily, along with this Scottish belle who is very mobile and long...6'6 wingspan. Awesome!

It looks like they've gone all out promoting the ESPN game. Great Job!
