Jalen Canty update: According to the SB Newspress his status for tonight's game is still undetermined but he is making the trip and bringing his gear. The offense was neither criminal nor academic and the decision for him to play is purely by the athletic department so apparentlly a more minor violation.

Very surprising loss by Hawaii at home. Both games the Warriors had against UCSB were such battles so hard for me to believe this is the same team that has now lost consecutive games to Riverside & Poly.

Separation is occurring. Davis, UCSB & UCI are the clear top three now. LB & Fullerton still in the hunt and UH dropping down to the bottom half of the league.

From a UCSB perspective, we've only played one game against UCI & Davis and two games against that second tier (CSF, LB). The Gauchos are 3-0 so far in these but that leaves 5 games to go against the best teams in the league. Their tied-for-first status is certainly precarious. If Moneke is out tonight, that is an opportunity UCSB needs to take advantage of, even if they are short-handed themselves.

All good movielover and thanks. Honestly, there was no dig intended, I was just making light of both schools experiencing the same suspension situation, with an Aussie bent in deference to Chima's home country. God help me if I suggested they put another shrimp on the barbie after their hike, I would have unleashed the full fury of Aggie nation! #MeTooMate!

Maybe if you were paying attention you would have noticed that I included UCSB's Jalen Canty, also suspended for some unknown violation of team rules, in the playful walk-about. It wasn't smack, you just have translucent skin.

Well done Goags, I'll blame it on senior moment.
Since you guys want to compare academics, here you go:
UCSB #8, Davis #12

Maybe if you guys had paid more attention in your basket weaving classes your arguments would be more water tight.

Ole!

Basket weaving smack? Really? I'm old too but I don't go declaring it message boards.

I heard Chima and Jalen Canty are on a plane to Australia with a plan for a walkabout to contemplate the consequences of their actions.
