she is certainly physically impressive. I’m guessing she red shirts this year to work on her speed (she’s a little stiff)

we're not short on post players, so it wouldn't be surprising

Also kind of looking like the ladies are instinctively shooting from the men's 3-pt line. That might be a bit of a learning curve this season

So Aggies end up winning 86-63 (or something like that. I bailed near the end). So good performances from freshman Gray and Turner. Trpcic will be our lead point but I’m a little worried about her size. She had quite a few deflected passes just because she’s so small. Gray is 5’10” and played with a great deal of poise. Turner may lead the team in scoring in quite a few games once she earns more time

My biggest area of concern is interior play. Stobbart didn’t really impress (she fouled out) and Gibbs looks a little slow. I’m guessing that at least Lilly and maybe Jones red shirt. We might be a little thin down low.

Also think we are going to get out a run a little more than we have in the past. Should make for some good entertainment.

Another scrimmage this Friday. Go Ags

Thanks for the all the updates! I hope Stobbart comes around. She was a highly ranked post player when we recruited her. I expected big things from her but she seems to have struggled a bit since she arrived. Maybe with more playing time she'll settle in. Nice to hear that Gray and Turner look pretty good as true freshmen.

yeah I think Stobbart will find her groove. It’s not like you can’t see the talent. In the meantime if our bigs can just play defense and rebound we’ll definitely be competing for a BW title

It was rare to have such a mobile big as Morgan was. Her speed and agility was practically unstoppable in the Big West. None of our bigs have that kind of agility so, I think you're right, we need them to play good D, clog up the middle, block out, snag rebounds and make opportunistic shots. I like it that Stobbart can step out and hit the 3 too. Athletic, quick forwards with size could them problems inside though. It will be interesting to see how Jen decides to utilize our bigs this year.

Looks like a cast on Trpcic's hand. Don't know the story, but not the best way to start the season. There is another scrimmage on Friday so we'll see who suites up.

On the positive side, Hall is clearly practicing again!

I think it's a sleeve--she has it pulled up on her forearm in one of the other photos. edit: and she's got a black one on in the photos from last week.

I like this half-court shot contest they have. Fun. :)

ah I think you’re right. Good!

Yeah they seem to have a lot of fun together

The coaches showed up in a few pictures last year. Keep your eye out! :cool:

also, the official UC Davis Instagram has a picture of the team in their Halloween album and I saw no cast on Trpcic -- or at least I believe it was her; still learning all the new faces

She's the tiny one*. ;)

*by comparison

(and three inches taller than me...haha)

Anyone else coming to tonight's exhibition?

Hall not suited up.

I’m here too.

Keep the posts coming. I'm interested to hear how the team looks in their second exhibition game. I wish they had some radio and/or live stats coverage...

Jones also not dressed tonight.

Aggie starters tonight: Trpcic, Bessolo, Stobbart, Toole, Konrad.

16-2 at the first time out. Aggie defense doing well, and the offense is scoring in transition.

playing a lot more aggressive tonight. Especially on defense

Song and Gray on after the to with Gray running point.

Finishing out the quarter with Gibb, Turner, Sanders, Gray, Song.

29-8 at the quarter break.

we are going to see a lot of different lineups tonight

Aggies have a height advantage at basically every position, so this game may not tell us much.

Same lineup starts the 2Q.

Aggie PGs doing a nice job of running the floor with their eyes up. 34-10 with 7:20 remaining.

Starters back on the floor for Davis.

Toole is a real problem for whoever is guarding her.

Experimenting with a small lineup; Song, Konrad, Gray, Toole, Sanders.
