Looks like still no Mani. Bora warmed up but has a big brace on his left knee so we’ll see if he plays

I’m with you on the back thing. I forgot my stadium seat to the first football game this year and it took a couple of days for my back to recover.

I’m going to guess that with a GA you can sit in the students section, since I doubt many students will be attending.

If anyone is going to the game on Sunday you can get general admission tickets for $5.30 using the promo code BFMBB

Interesting Pepperdine UCI score

That’s Tsami. She must be red shirting

Good win. Sac is young and made a lot of errors, but still a good performance from the Ags.

Good first half. Of course the competition isn’t that high, but the Ags have played a solid game so far. No Harris.

she looks a lot more confident than in the last few games

Ags up 20-11 after 1. Ags look good, with nice passing and smart shots. I like Svanholm in the high post against sacs zone

I took the kids to a aggie game at sac state, must be about 10 years ago, and we couldn't stop laughing at their cheer...one side yelled Sac-, the other yelled -ramento. Had to be one of the worse sounding cheers! We still laugh about that today.

I wasn’t able to watch. Sounds like I didn’t miss much

Funny, Montana looked so much better than NDSU. One reason why I don't bet on college sports. No telling how a bunch of 20 year olds will play on any given day.

wow. Not a score I would have guessed

You're right, some times we do stay in a matchup zone and sometimes we switch. It requires all 5 guys on the floor being in synch. I don't remember us using this before, but maybe i wasn't paying close enough attention.

Also, the zone switch to m-t-m is causing some confusion with teams. Ags start in a zone, but switch to man to man as soon as the ball is thrown in to a man flashing to the middle. I would imagine teams will start to scout this switch up and will be better prepared to attack it, but for these early games against unique opponents, its pretty effective. If nothing else, it slows down the opponents offense as they try and adapt. Don't know for sure, but NDSU had at least 3 shot clock violations.

Missed this from a few weeks ago I guess. Jacob Gilchrist, 6'6" wing, committed!

Just to recognize some guys that don't get much time, I really like Lose and Manu's efforts today. Both played solid defense, and while they didn't score a bunch, seemed to fit into the flow of the offense. Lose even hit a 3, which I think the team sees a lot of in practice (Bob Williams has mentioned his good work in practice several times), and Manu dunked on a nice pick play. Maybe the offense will come a little more as the season progresses, but even if it doesn't, their defense should keep both in the rotation.

Not that we need more evidence, but today's men's game clearly showed that aggressiveness is more important than just sheer size. NDSU was taller than us, but the men fought for every board on both ends. The women, last night, looked flat footed, looking like they hoped the ball would bounce to them rather than going to get it (obvious simplification). But aggressiveness can be learned (to an extent), so hopefully we see some growth in that from the Ags.

Hopefully the interior defense/rebounding only gets better with Mani and Bora back. Assuming they come back soon. Next game is until the 26th, so there's time for them to get back on the court.

Great win for the Ags. Ade with some clutch baskets down the stretch, and great defense all around. Les has to be pleased with the effort today.

Yep, free throws and hopefully good defense that leads to breaks. That's the hope when Pepper is on the bench.
