No TY???

Anyone know why TY isn't playing? The commentators said he wasn't starting, but gave no reason, only that he's "unavailable."

Ags are blistering the twine at a 64.3% rate. Couldn't ask for a better offensive performance. On the Highlanders side, it can't get much worse at 21.9%. Given regression to the mean, this margin won't hold, so the game is not in the bag, but I like the way the Ags playing defense. As long as they can keep hitting their shots at a moderate rate, I like their chances.

This team gets killed by the press so easily

Riverside has some very quick guards that make their press tough for us especially with TY out. He's our quickest guard and we need him when team's press us.

Huge 83-63 win by the Aggies.

The Aggie smothering defense was on full display especially in the first half and the Ags ended up holding Riverside to just 27% shooting for the game. The Aggies primarily play man but they played quite a bit of zone tonight as well and it was very effective. On the offensive end, the Aggies shot 60% overall along with 42% from 3 and 75% from the line. Pepper had 31 and DeBruhl, starting in place of TY who was out, had 14.

Pure speculation on my part, but maybe TY is out due to some academic issues regarding his eligibility? Just saying that due to the timing after fall quarter grades.

Would it be grades if TY was allowed to play last week? Grades should have been in before then.

Not sure how the NCAA handles the timing of this sort of thing, but we'll probably never know. TY's privacy is, and should be, protected.
