55-55 at the end of regulation. Going to OT

Add in that Schneider is cold as ice 1-10. He has not shot well for several straight games. Shorts back in the game!

TJ Shorts got injured and went immediately to the locker room. Hope it not a serious injury.

The Ags are struggling on offense but manage to stay close 32-29 Radford at the half. The Highlanders are shooting 60% so the Aggie D needs to step up in the second half. Mooney canned a couple of 3's which is nice to see. Siler had a rough shooting game against Lamar and it has continued into today as he is only 1-6. Need to get him going. AJ John has had to sit since he picked up 2 fouls in 1 minute of PT.

Ags come out cold shooting 2-7. AJ John has picked up 2 quick fouls. 6-5 Ags at the first media TO.

Chima will play today.

Good catch, Goags20172. I got my information from the Aggies release about today's game:

"UC Davis and Radford last met 50 years ago (Dec. 2) in a game the Aggies won by a 67-73 score."

That's not correct as you noted. The Ags did indeed beat Radford 67-63 in the St Mary's Classic in 2004 under Coach Gary Stewart. The Aggies went 12-17 that year.

It's been 50 years since these two teams have played each other. The Aggies beat the Highlanders 67-63 on December 2, 1967.

Those are some good points, 69aggie.

I remember Ham well. He was a maniac but his antics were pretty comical and the fans loved him. Les is just very, very intense and when he yanks a player he usually just looks right past them as they come off the court. He gets locked into the game like a laser which is a good thing, I guess, because he makes good in game coaching decisions. His scowling intensity would bother me if I was playing for him though.

Chima did hit the deck hard at the end of the game at San Francisco when he got undercut. Also, in the game against William Jessop he had something bothering him on the inside of his knee or thigh. Could be some lingering strain...? Hope that's the case and not something simmering between him and Les.

Lamar previously had some good wins over Tulsa, Coastal Carolina twice and UTEP. Excellent win for the Aggies.

Did you go to the game?

Les just said "he didn't want to give out too much information about Chima in order to keep the Ags' opponents guessing but he thought Chima would be ready to go tomorrow."

So, maybe and injury....??? Who knows...??

Scott Marsh said the team went to see The Blue Man Group last night and went out to dinner at a place called "Hole in the Wall."

That's an outstanding win especially considering that Chima was on the bench. How about TJ Shorts with 25 points on 6 of 9 from the floor and 13 of 13 from the line. Nice contributions from everyone who got into the game.

I hope whatever is going on between Les and Chima is done and we'll be at full strength tomorrow against Radford.

Nice run by the Ags. Up 50-40 with 11:27 to go.

Scott Marsh just said the word he has been given about Chima is "unavailable."

I've never been a fan of Les' tough style of coaching...just too intense for me. He does know the game and he does get a lot out of his players but I think his barking and intensity can do more harm than good most of the time especially to players' morale.

During the last basketball coaches show Scott Marsh interviewed players from both the men's and women's team and he asked them what it was like playing for Les and Gross. I was struck by the different responses he got. The women talked about how much Jen Gross meant to them in their lives and how they felt like a family with her. Chima said it was tough when he first got to Davis because it was tough being told what he was doing wrong all the time but that he's become a better player. I think that was a thinly veiled way of saying that Les can be a real hard-ass, like you say, and, although he gets results, I'm not sure the players have the kind of relationship with him that the women have with Jen Gross.

Lamar may run away with this game. The Ags are on pace for 30+ turnovers...wow...
