50-23 half.

Aggies have been in a half court man defense (or mannish zone) for most of the game, but did run a press for a few minutes that worked well and keyed a nice run.

Shooting hasn't been an issue. Lots of driving, taking advantage of the height and speed advantages.

Aggies shot 55%; Toole with 12pts/6reb to lead both categories. 12 assists for the Aggies, always good to see. 24reb total vs. 15 for Hayward.

(Big thanks to Bob Kerr for reading those over the PA for me. :lol: )

Starters back in to begin the third.

pretty sloppy right now.

Yup. Hayward being very aggressive to the ball and doubling Sage immediately.

Time out so that Coach can settle the offense down. 52-31 with 4:43 remaining in the third.

It seems like this team could be vulnerable to being harassing, pressing defenses from what I hearing from this game and the last exhibition.

It's been a historic problem for Davis and probably won't be helped by a relatively new guard group. Playing time will help.

62-38 after three.

Toole has been impressive getting to the basket and finishing strong.

Yeah, fun to watch. Her USU highlights implied that was her game, so it's cool too see it in action for Davis.

72-43 with 5:42 remaining.

Coach Gross just got *hot* at the current lineup. Good to see.

Yeah she does not like the way this game is ending. She was even getting on them to hustle to the bench at the timeout

Lily in for the last minute.

79-56 final!

Lily for a token bucket at the end of the game to much fanfare from the bench.

25 pts for Toole, Gray with 10.

By comparison, we played CS East Bay exactly one year ago to the day and won 94-41. It's going to take some time for this team to come together...the loss of the Twins and Morgan is huge...

Yeah, it's going to take some time to shake out who the new go-to scorer(s) are. Keep in mind that Hall was on the bench, in addition to Jones.

Trpcic and Gray looked good at guard. When the offense settled down and just ran like normal, it was the same efficient machine as last year, just without the finishing bucket by Morgan. ;) Given how young some of the line-ups were tonight, I'm encouraged.

OBA and I both think that Jones was sick, FWIW.

That's for the updates, Russ. :up:

Photos from UCD Women's Exhibition Games

I think the women are looking pretty good. This is a very different team than last year's. I can't say enough about Katie Toole who really knows how to deliver the ball to the basket in the paint.

We appreciate your photos, Adam. I hope you'll keep posting them for the women and the men.
