Glad we're playing the 9 seed and not the 4 seed in our first game.

We may be up by 16 but that was not a very good half of basketball by the Aggies. Fullerton is completely outmanned by the Aggies and is shooting 17% but managed to stay within single digits for most of the half. Our lead is largely due to how poor the Titans are shooting. We'd be in trouble if we were playing one of the top seeds.

And now ESPN3 is down with technical difficulties...

KDVS live radio also if ESPN3 continues to be down.

Tuning in for lunch break. Nice of them to have the second half start at noon.

Was happy to see a 16 point lead when I tuned in, but every minute the starters are in more might hurt later

I was wondering why the venue looked familiar on screen and I realized it's where the EVO fighting game championships were some years

How many shots within 4 feet have the Ags missed...getting to the hoop and then not finishing...

Very ugly quarter for the Aggies, but still leading 41-34 after three.

Trpcic is not right today.

Somewhat concerning going forward we're only up 6 against a 2-14 team.

49-43 at the 4Q media timeout.

Shooting has turned around (somewhat) for the Aggies, but the defense is now allowing Fullerton to get hot. Gotta fix that.

This game is now a tossup...the team that wants it more will win it now...

Trpcic is really not having a good day.

Davis in the bonus the rest of the game.

I hate when the stat tracker just stops updating. Hurt player? Internet down? Clown invasion?

Davis still up six with the ball and 1:25 to go.

Fullerton fouling.

Davis up eight with 41 seconds left. Fullerton ball after a timeout.

UCD only making half their FTs right now--not helpful. Up seven with 33 seconds to go, Fullerton ball.

I hate end games like this. Foul, FTs, TO, shot, TO, foul, FTs, TO. *sigh

Making field goals is always a good. We simply haven’t done it.

Have you heard of the Elam Ending? They used it in the ASG the last couple years and have used it in The Basketball Tournament as well. It's great.

In TBT, they play the first 3 1/2 quarters like normal and then with 5 minutes left, they turn the clock off. They add a certain number of points to the winning teams score and that's the target score. Then the first to reach that score wins. So it pretty much eliminates fouling at the end. Obviously a blowout is still going to be a blowout but close games are way better that way.

61-54 final, Aggies win! (at least I think it's final...might be another clown invasion...stat tracker sitting at 00:00 in teh 4Q)

Hall with a 20/10 double double (plus a couple assists). Stobbart in a pack of players with high single digit scoring, plus a handful of rebounds and three more blocks. 12 assists on 18 FG, overall for the Aggies, which is Davis basketball.

As mentioned previously, Trpcic did not have a good day, responsible for half of the teams turnovers. :grimace:

Seven players with double-figure minutes.

First I'd heard of it was in a blurb about this year's ASG. Interesting concept.

Who do you want the Aggies to play next? Bakersfield or Hawaii?

I think Bako wins that game--Hawaii looks pretty mortal away from the island.

As they say, survive and advance in tournaments. Hopefully we get our game legs back underneath us and start making some of these open shots.

Sluggish offense...too often a step slow on defense...subpar FT shooting...and we still win...perfect example of "survive and advance" but the Ags will need to play much, much better to continue to advance...

BGA and OBA clearly on the same "survive and advance" wavelength. :lol: :up:
