This team is special. A 32 point road win against a respectable team. Wow! Athletic, good ball movement, well coached with star players. Dangerous combo. Bertsch is dominant inside on offense and was super active getting blocks on defense. Her 6'4" frame combined w moves, footwork, finesse is going to be tough to stop. Opens things up for the others. Gianotti and Nagel were superb and bring their senior leadership to this squad. Going to be an exciting season!

I'll take it, but we had a complete meltdown towards the end of the game. No help on defense, poor ball movement, turnovers. This team definitely has it's work cut out. But no doubt good pieces, gritty defense and a star player. Shorts, Siler, Chima, AJ John, Goode. Not a bad core. Will be interesting to see how the team develops. So far two road wins coming off a tournament season.

Well I think BW is the best (non-football) conference for us - at least as long as we plan to be an FCS team. I would say teams like UCSB, Cal Poly, UCI, Hawaii, Beach have more appeal than Montana, Idaho, Portland St, etc. Why? Academics, California rivalries, our friends go there, etc. The added bonus is reasonable travel costs in the BW.

Now hypothetically if we go FBS and you put us in the same conference as Nevada, UNLV, SDSU, Boise, maybe we reconsider for all sports due to the jump in competition to increase our profile. But even then, Hawaii prefers to stay in the BW for non-football sports- probably for travel costs. Just some food for thought.

+1 right there with you

Wow. Did not see that coming. What a difference a year makes. Go Ags!

Pure awesomeness. Go ags!

Tough out, but gotta give it to this team. Very resilient, wouldn't give up. Tough place to play. I wonder if the result would be different if it were an aggie home game. WSU was big and athletic. In any case, hats off to the ladies on another solid season.

Three 3's and we have a 6 pt game! Let's go!

Taking a quick look at their schedule, WSU's record may not be great, but they beat #9 UCLA by 9 and Oregon by 16. Both are women's NCAA Sweet 16 teams.

Awesome! Always been a fan of Reggie. Class act as a person, and a heck of a competitor back in the day.

Props to the ladies! They've built a solid program. Beat the Rams!

Most importantly we'll have this guy back:

Ya good point! On a side note, we should start putting at least a couple high major teams on the schedule. Even if they're losses, it's good to measure up. Plus it can help our rpi- win or lose.

We were outmatched by a taller, more athletic, five star recruit team that's well coached and has future NBAers. Great first step for our program. Will hopefully help recruiting. Proud of this team. A lot of positives and things to build on. Moneke will be back next yr. He's a great centerpiece. Though we're losing 5 seniors, Schneider, Goode, Henn, Hennings back next yr. AJ John and Printup should come off red shirts. Will miss Lemar, JT, Graham, White, and Georgi. Great yr. Go Ags!

Even though we haven't played a team even close to this caliber, our D will be solid. Brynton and Chima need to play well and we'll need contributions all around. Big q for me is how effective Chima will be in the paint. If he can do well inside, it will open up opportunities and an inside-out game. Rebounding will be key but mostly scared of a press from such a lengthy, athletic team. Coach Les will have a game plan and make this team believe in themselves. And who knows? It's March!

Also one of my greatest sports moments ranking up there w the Stanford football upset. Yesterday we had a nice alumni group gather in New York and we rocked the bar w a bunch of Aggie pride! Didn't hurt that we won :)

On one hand, I really like local Davis pics. That said, as our program grows, it may be to our advantage to represent Sacramento.

We have the potential to be the show in Sac. We already have a great reputation academically, now we can combine that w the competitive bball team for the Sac/NorCal area. This can bring in local fans and hype for good basketball and significantly help w local recruiting. Could work to our advantage to think big. Iron is hot w making the NIT and NCAA in 2 of the last 3 seasons. We have so much potential and IMO are in the process of tapping into it. Just my 2 cents

Agreed. In terms of RPI, Utah is 69, we're 73. Let's go Ags! Beat a Pac12 team @ their house!

Maybe the selection committee wanted another story line. If Davis wins the PIG (big "if"), coach Les will face Kansas again. In 2006, Les' 13 seed Bradley knocked 4 seed Kansas out of the first round. Bradley went on to beat Pitt to get to the sweet 16.
