The Aggies take on league leading Long Beach today at 2 pm. The Beach is the is having a break out year with only 2 loses so far losing at Oregon 68-59 and a surprising upset loss at CSUN 64-50. The Ags have been prone to TO's and I expect that LB will turn up the pressure on defense to try and force the Aggies into mistakes. So the key for the Aggies will be to take care of the basketball first and foremost and avoid going ice cold for long periods of time. Go Ags!
Tied at 34 at the half. Entertaining, blue collar basketball game. Tough defense by both teams. Ags could be up by 6 or more if they could start making some of their 3's. Only 3-12 in the first half.
The Ags played well right up to the 7 minute mark of the 4th quarter leading by 19 when LB applied full court pressure and the Aggies began turning the ball over. Every team in the league is going to try and pressure the Ags into TO's. They had 21 TO's today to 8 by The Beach but they still managed to survive and avoid what could have been a demoralizing loss.
Excellent win for sure but the coaching staff must be pulling their hair out about the TO problem! Jen looked like she was about to blow a fuse as LB cut our 19 point lead with 7 minutes to go down to 5 with 2 minutes left.
