Irvine side of the bracket, fun. Let's go Aggies!

Isn’t this the mens? They look the same to me and pretty sure Fullerton isn’t #2

Oops...I edited my first post and it now shows the women's bracket not the men's.

Tough matchup for the Aggies against Long Beach. The Beach is athletic and quick. They pressured the Ags into 26 TO's in the loss to them on Thursday. So they will be pressuring the Ags all over the court since they know that we have not been good at taking care of the ball.

However, this is also a great opportunity for the Aggies to show that they are better than that. I'm sure that loss due to 26 TO's didn't set well with the team. Now they have a chance to redeem themselves.

7th seed Kentucky just won the SEC WBB tourney, knocking off the 10, 3, 2, and 1 seeds. 1 seed was South Carolina!

There's hope!

#7 Fullerton 70 #10 Cal Poly 64 Final

#9 Bakersfield 63 #8 CSUN 62 OT Final

#1 Hawaii 48 #9 Bakersfield 47 Final

Wow!

I caught just the last few minutes of the game. Bakersfield should have won but settled for the outside shots too many times down the stretch. And had several close in (but contested) shots at the end to win it. Ags SHOULD be better than both these teams, but, of course, lost to both of them this season.

Looks like scoring is at a premium as #4 UCR beat #5 UCSB 46-42

Amy Atwell held to 6 pts by Bako.

Fullerton hanging with Irvine through 1Q.

2Q going poorly for Fullerton.

Irvine leads 40-27 at half.

58-39 Irvine after 3Q.

Looks like Irvine is moving on. Time to get ready Ags!

Yup! 80-68 Irvine FINAL.

I see the Cal Aggie Band-Uh! making their appearance.

I also see someone on crutches. I don't recognize her, so she's probably a redshirt.

Edit: I'm guessing it's Bria Shine just by quickly glancing the roster. I'm hoping someone can confirm.

Glad the band made it! Thanks for the updates Eastbay!

Great start!

15-8 Ags after the 1st quarter. The defense has been very good so far. We can win this game if we take care of the ball. Hall had 3 TO's on 3 straight possessions. We can't do that and win.

After blowing it in the tourney a couple years when we were clearly the best team, plus not having a chance in 2020, we're owed an underdog run.

how’d you like to fight all season long to get a top seed in the tourney only to get the 5 time regular season champs, who ar probably playing with a little chip after an up and down season?

32-25 Ags at the half. However, the Ags have started to turn the ball over as they have done all season. 12 TO's already.

It's almost unbelievable to watch this team make such poor passes when pressured. They get trapped on the sidelines when they pull up the dribble, trapped players bring the ball down low and into the double team and make TO's and other players don't go to the open space when a teammate is in trouble with the ball. These are fundamental mistakes. It' maddening to watch it happen over and over again.

it really is amazing that a team full of talent struggles so much with the idea that you don’t dribble into the corner and pick up your dribble. Very frustrating

The fouls are piling up on the Ags which is going to be a problem since we don't get much production from the bench. Hall, Harris and Konrad all have 3 halfway through the 3rd Q.

For sure. Of the lower seeded teams, I'm sure we're the team the top 4 didn't want to play.

43-36 Ags after the 3rd Q.
