    The Aggies finally get to play 2 games in a row without a cancellation since December 19 and 22 when they travel to Northridge tonight to play the Matadors. The Ags will return home after this game since Saturday's game at Santa Barbara has been cancelled by the Gauchos.

    Live TV on ESPN+ at 7 pm.

    Go Ags!

    5 point favorites tonight. i don't bet, but i don't think i'd wager on any games involving us. i think we were 8 point favorites vs Poly and that didn't work out well. hopefully, we've had 10 healthy bodies out there the past week so we could at least scrimmage and work some of the rust of last week out of our systems. Need a win tonight.

    It's got to be tough having any meaningful practices with just a subset of players. Really hard to build any kind of consistency. Hopefully we see the aggressive Aggies tonight.

    I suspect all teams are in the same boat, that is multiple players out on covid protocols.

    The start time, 5 pm in Hawaii, means that I won't be able to watch the game from start to finish. I'll start watching a half hour late and won't be able to finish until after the game is over. Fortunately, ESPN+ allows pausing and picking up the broadcast late.

    seems like the Big West is suffering more than other conferences, or at least that's what it seems like based on the little college basketball coverage i see. i wonder if that's due to it being a SoCal dominant league?

    Off to go better start 15-8 after 9.

    Big guys are struggling inside, missing some short looks

    Announcers say we have 8 available players

    21-20 us 4:00 to go. We look like we’ve slowed down and they are hitting shots. If we can get done inside offense, that might open things up - they are really pushing the defense out

    That was a really fast half. When I tuned in there was only 3 minutes left. Based on the earlier posts, it looks like the Aggies let CSUN back into this game. From the little I saw, it seems like the defense could be a lot better.

    What’s the score DrMike?

    Glad you asked, 29-29 at the half. We’ve played 8 players, DeBruhl is in the bench with some other guy (damned masks!).

    They turned up the defensive pressure in the half court and that’s cooled us down. And their 3’s are starting to fall.

    Hope we can hang in

    Free throws are hurting. They are 5-6, we’re 0-2 both front ends of 1-1

    I haven't seen Pepper shoot yet, but I see that he's 2 of 3 from 3, so I wonder why he isn't pulling the trigger more often. Also # for CSUN has hit 3 of 6 and has 11 of their 29.

    Pepper looks like he’s laboring a bit. Started fast, slowed down quite a bit. Adebayo hasn’t played much - didn’t start 2nd half

    Up 8 12 to go. We’ve had a chance the last few possessions to really up that, but missed a couple good shots (and another FT). Defense has really picked up, even throwing a zone at them
  • Toke69

    Ags have yet to make a free throw! Of course, they've only gotten 3 chances.
  • DrMike

    Up 17 with 90 seconds to go. And nary an Aggie FT! 0-4

    65-47 win. CSUN isn’t good. Reeling from their coaching issues of last year.

    0-6 FT, ‘led’ by Fuller’s 0-5!

    I wonder if UC Davis has ever had nada from the free throw line? Glad I was able to see the end of this one because it was a really fast game. They had to win this one given how poor a team the Matadors are, Big West door-Mats.

    The Aggie defense was stellar in the second half and the offense took advantage of the back door. Nice win for the Ags...of course, any win in this crazy season is special!

    Both the fellas and the ladies suffered with missed FTs last night. But its win win, we’ll take it.

    The cancellations could have been advantageous to us, assuming no make ups - miss road games v Hawaii, Bakersfield and UCSB, but get the two bottom teams on the road. Sluggish performance v Poly hurt. Fullerton at home next week will be a big big challenge- 4-0 in conference after beating Irvine on the road. It’s turned into a bitter rivalry
