I'll take that! Of course, the Big West fans over on the Big West Boards see UC Irvine winning the title and most have the Ags around 4th.

The Aggie website still doesn't have a recap or any stats available for these two games. Maybe since they were exhibition games they aren't going to provide any information. I was able to find a brief recap of the women's game on the CSU East Bay website but nothing for the men's game anywhere.

Here are a few of my thoughts about the Aggie women:

1. The starting line up for the Aggies was the Karley Eaton, Kourtney Eaton, Morgan Bertsch, Cierra Hall and Nina Bessolo. Even though we lost 3 starters to graduation, Pele Gianotti, Dani Nafekh and Rachel Nagel, this is a pretty experienced starting 5 and they played well together as a cohesive unit.

2. The experience and maturity of Hall and Bessolo was immediately apparent. They look much improved from last year. Both are very athletic and they were shooting the ball well from deep range. Bessolo's quick release is impressive and her long distance shooting is much improved.

3. We need Morgan Bertsch to continue her stellar play this year and, although she looked poised and comfortable on the floor, she was uncharacteristically off her game all night long and looked frustrated that most of her shots were not falling. I chalk this up as more of a fluke for Morgan. However, opponents will be playing Morgan very physical and with double teams in an effort to slow her down this year so nothing will come easy for her. She'll have to go out and match the intensity with determination.

4. RFr post Sage Stobbart was impressive when she was on the floor. She quite agile for her size, looked comfortable and poised and has a very nice, soft shot from distance. She's going to be a good one for us as she gets more experience but I expect she'll be able step right in an contribute immediately.

5. Sofia Song will be a solid defender and a good 3 point shooter coming off the bench. She adds to the Aggie deep bench.

6. Utah State transfer Katie Toole and RFr Kayla Konrad both looked solid and look to have the talent to be able to come off the bench and make significant contributions. They both play hard and are not afraid to take the ball to the hoop.

7. JC transfer Cierra McKeown is as deadly shooter as advertised. She'll get better as she gets more experience with the speed and physicality of the D1 game but this young woman can flat out shoot the ball especially from distance. She has a beautiful shooting stroke and you can see that she's comfortable in firing away when she gets and open look.

8. Jen Gross was able play a lot of combinations of players and you could see that this team is still a work in progress but there is a lot of potential there.

9. The Aggie defense was pretty good all night long holding the Pioneers to 27.1% shooting while offensively we shot the ball well at 53.7%. Problem areas appear to be rebounding, getting outhustled on the 50-50 balls and poor FT shooting (8-17). The Aggies seem to have difficulty with rebounding each year and it appears that we just aren't as quick to react to the ball even when we are in position. It's an area of the game that could prove problematic for us and needs some definite work.

10. Things get a lot tougher right away as the Ags travel to Palo Alto next Wednesday to take on Stanford. It will be interesting to see how this relatively young team reacts to such a big challenge in a tough environment.

Go Ags!

Jake and Keelan are currently 5th and 7th respectively in the voting. It's a long shot now for either of them but keep voting Aggie fans and give them as much support as possible.

Hawk has an 11 vote lead over Klieman...keep voting Aggie fans!

I love hearing Hawk say that the "sky is the limit" here at UC Davis and that he has the support of Gary May and the UCD administration. I wholeheartedly agree with Carmichael Dave that college football fans in the greater Sacramento area are dying to have a great D1 college team to follow and support. We need to keep winning and growing and be that team.

Ags 87 Dominican 59 Final

He looked like he was favoring his left leg though

Ags 48. Dominican 27 at the half

AH John just came onto the bench in uniform

Ags start Damion Squire, Schneider, Caleb Fuller, Goode and Printup

Shorts, Neufeld and Mooney are all in street clothes for tonight’s game. No AJ John anywhere either. Looks like we’ll see a lot of new players on the floor. I hope they’ll be healthy and ready for our opener next Tuesday against USF.

94-41 Aggies Final

Gilliam may need some Divine Intervention. He is currently 180 votes behind the leader, QB Jon Copeland of Incarnate Word...well Lordy be...

Mason Moe currently has a 108 vote lead and Devon King is in 3rd.

Every game from here on out is crucial for the Big Sky teams in the Top 10 list but these games look particularly big:

UCD @ EWU
Weber State @ ISU
EWU @ Portland State
