I've been quite critical of Mani but I saw some play that really encouraged me. He blocked out well, he hit a good three and wasn't pushed around in the lane. But he still looks somewhat clumsy.

Puppy was the description I shared with my wife - who agreed. Mani has a long way to go. I don't know what his injury was so I'm not going to guess about his physical condition right now.

2,200 is what sticks in my mind

I was manager with Bruce Ross '68-70

In the late 60s the Aggie Band was the UC Davis All Male Maverick Band, wore jeans, white shirts, and black floppy hats with all sorts of buttons on them. After the game they came down into the locker room for a march-about. LOUD! They played a lot, they had numbers with the song girls, and really made Hickey Gym rock. I remember that floor as being leg friendly without many dead spots. Not like the one at Stanford before Maples Pavilion but still good. Still used for practice.

The play-by-play folks were commenting on how cold thee Pyramid was and then wondered if anyone played on a court laid over ice. The answer, of course, is Yes if you played at the Honda Center for the Big West tournament. I wore heavy wool socks sitting courtside and still had really chilly feet after a day of basketball.

TY gives and he takes away as we saw in this game. He gives a whole lot more. I think I’d keep him. <grin>

Harris went out in the 2nd half with an ankle injury, She iced it and then was in a boot. She didn’t return. Brianna didn’t play nor take place in warmups (between halves for sure) with a knee wrapped.

Epps’ scoring just sort of happened. She had some fine drives and nice 3’s.

We were lucky LB couldn’t shoot worth diddly. They were below 25% for much of the game. A couple of 3’s at the end of the game may have helped with the final percentage.

I just went around the interior of the ball park. The field looks great. After heavy use during the summer the grass seems to have recovered. The lights are all up. One panel of the new scoreboard has been installed. Progress!

The lights for the soccer field are also up! Great times.

Sevilla played a terrific game. I think he was out for a few minutes to give him gas for the last minute of the game. It was a shame that TY made the errant pass. It happens. It's not like TY didn't do a lot to help the Ags cause.

Did we have a TO left at that point?

Still lots to like for the Ags but toward the end of games they lose intensity - and for good reason: they expend a huge amount of energy. We just don't quite have the depth to sustain the effort for 40 minutes. Although, as I think about it, they could have uniform depth and it would still be difficult to sustain the energy they bring at the start of the game.

That was quite a response the Ags made in the 2nd half. And a double-double by Burns? That was impressive.

We were too tired to go last night. Returned from a week at Disney World - so many 20,000+ step days tracking kids/grandkids! I'm too old for this! And the crowds...

I'm wondering if Long Beach will have to a-poly-gize for the loss...

Okay, not really. Poly is a better team than their record shows. They have the monkey off their back and might well have a big role in how the conference plays out the rest of the season.

That must have been some game since it was also tied at the half.

Thanks for joining us - have a terrific year. Hope you find another venue for your interests.

I gather the transfer portal isn't a thing at all now. Players can leave school, enroll at another, and play immediately.

So many questions about this idiocy. No idea of an equitable solution but what we have isn't it.

We drive toward the hoop a lot - but no one seems interested in taking a mid-range jumper except TY. I'd like to see a shot chart.

That was the second sell-out ever for the Tritons. Great to see the stands filled with fans. Frankly I cannot imagine that at UCD unless it was a hyped game on ESPN.

Fun game to watch! Kudos to Russell Turner for an excellent game plan his team executed well. Having UCSD go cold from the outside certainly helped the Anteater cause.

The lights are up around the outfield. The old scoreboard has been removed. Changes they are a'coming.

I asked Rocko about season tickets. They currently are not offered. He said he'll look into it when he gets back from a trip. The High Wheelers labeled all the seats so they are pondering assigned seats instead of just general admission. Personally I'd just like GM seating. Looking forward to the first night game.

This was not a happy game to watch. Mid 2nd half there was some ugly stuff going on in the middle on the Aggie end of the court. I can understand why Les got the "T."

Now watching the end of the UCI at UCSD game. Whew - both teams look pretty darn great. Turner came up with a great defense against the Tritons who can't shoot well from outside tonight.

We watched the Riverside - Hawai'i game and discovered that Daejah Phillips is no longer on the roster for "personal reasons" with no return date given. Hawai'i looked pretty darn good against UCR.

I haven't watched Long Beach this year. I hope the Ags bring their A game!

Not a great showing for us. That last 3 by Conner was him shouting for the ball, totally confident that he’d down the shot. He played some really nice defense in the 1st half (where it was easier to watch for me) really clogging up the lane and helping out.

I have no idea why the Ags just go flat as they did in the 2nd half. They seem to move well, definitely not standing, but they don’t make good decisions. Perhaps they become too predictable? It seemed that Fullerton had learned and adjusted to what the Ags were doing. And the Titans, as observed above, pulled close on their free throw shooting.
