When I saw William Jessup on the schedule, I was thinking it would be far more embarrassing if the Aggies were to lose to them again this year. But when I looked at the Athletics Dept. write-up for tomorrow's game, it indicated that Davis had never lost to William Jessup. I started thinking I'm getting old and my memory faulty. Maybe I was just thinking of that Art Institute embarrassment. So I searched many ways on UC Davis, William Jessup, and basketball and came up empty. But then I added Gary Stewart to the search and came up with this write-up for the Northern Arizona game in 2005 that mentions the 69-64 loss to Willam Jessup, http://www.ucdavisaggies.com/sports/m-baskbl/spec-rel/111805aac.html
Are exhibition losses ignored? The current write-up shows the previous exhibition win. Do they not count the previous loss because the Aggies were in transition to D-I at the time?
Struggled against Dominican too. Exhibitions I guess don’t officially count. Maybe the more recent outings vs the ‘Bills’ were during the season like tomorrow
Someone on the Big West forum said that exhibition matches may or may not count depending on how the lower-division team counts them. (I don't know if this includes NAIA.) We don't get credit either way but if someone like a D2 team schedules us then they have the option to include it as part of their regular season, and if they do then there's refs, official score, etc.
I was looking in the archives for that 2005-06 season. Shows the ‘if we were keeeping score they scored more’ result vs the Bills (kind of like under six soccer). We went 8-20. One of those 8? Stanford
Or what about that game when the University Farm played at Cal sometime around 1940 and was winning through a time limit set but the game was extanded? IDK I remember reading it in the Aggie once.
Up 46-23 at half with Chima and Silar combining for about 10 of those. Printup with 9, Hennings with 8. Lots of fouls. Good easy game heading into finals.
Think the game from long ago where we were ahead at the end of the agreed upon time limit but the Mother Campus then extended the clock was football, not basketball.
As I recall we used to play Cal regularly in basketball...then in the early 80s (?) in the Preston Neumayr days, we forgot our place and were actually ahead well into the second half before the Bears rallied and won the game. They dropped us from their schedule.
According to the record books we played them pretty regularly from about '72 to '86, always in Berkeley, always a loss. Played them in 2010 also. Overall we were 0-31, throw in 0-32 after last year.
Oddly enough I was wrong in my earlier recollection. Neumayr played from 79-80 to 82-83. We played Cal through the 86-87 season.
In Neumayr's junior year the score was 83-76 and in his senior year it was 106-62. With a memory like this I'm thinking of entering politics.
