Ags up 27-15 at the 10 min break. Starters wer Manjon peppers printup Koehler and squire. They worked much better on defense. Mooney and neufeld were the first off the bench

I agree that we have no one to replace GG. I was hoping that Harris and Murphy could do it in at least spurts but both seem to be red shirting this year. We’ll need the week side defender to collapse but that’s the team work that needs to get better throughout the ooc.

it was alarming to hear 'backdoor cut' over and over and over (usually followed by cheering!)

You should see some of the texts from my son who was watching on-line. They went from "back door cut" to "BACK DOOR CUT" to "ANOTHER GOD DAMN BACK DOOR CUT".

Thanks for the heads up on the free tickets. I'm curious to see how this young team rebounds from a pretty disheartening loss. I know the level of competition is different, but we should see the effort, hustle, and confidence regardless of the name of the other teams jersey. Manjon looked like he belonged on the court. I also liked how Peppers was not afraid to take his shot, even though the results weren't what we needed. And maybe most importantly, does Fuller continue to grow accustomed to his role down low next to Neufeld. Go Ags!

So sorry PA. We are praying for you and your family

I thought my son was going to Explode watching that game. Seemingly no defensive adjustment at half to deal with the back cuts. Yeah I didn’t expect to win either but you would think we’d see changes once we saw how they were playing. I hope William Jessup isn’t too much for us Thursday

Rough game. Some bright spots from Manjon peppers and Koehler but a lot of work to do on team defense. No where to go but up I guess. Didn’t see Harris so I guess he is red shirting

Interesting starters. Manjon, gonzo, Mooney neufeld and fueller

Thanks BGA. Looking forward to another season. I wonder how many other teams in the nation have 4 5th year seniors (Mooney, Neufeld, Printup, Gonzalez) and still considered a young inexperienced team. After those 4, we only have Squire and Fuller who have ever step foot on a D1 court, and those were pretty limited minutes. It'll take some time to gel, but hopefully we'll see glimpses of a team that could compete with the big dogs in the BW.

Yeah she does not like the way this game is ending. She was even getting on them to hustle to the bench at the timeout

Toole has been impressive getting to the basket and finishing strong.

pretty sloppy right now.

we are going to see a lot of different lineups tonight

playing a lot more aggressive tonight. Especially on defense

I’m here too.

ah I think you’re right. Good!

Yeah they seem to have a lot of fun together

Looks like a cast on Trpcic's hand. Don't know the story, but not the best way to start the season. There is another scrimmage on Friday so we'll see who suites up.

On the positive side, Hall is clearly practicing again!

Great information. I hadn't thought about the Gonzagas of the world putting pressure on their conference mates to only schedule good RPI teams, but it makes sense. I do hope they figure out the Golden One situation Its always an enjoyable time and the players seem to really get hyped to play in the Kings place.

Glad to hear that he's excited about this years class (although he better say that whether he truly is or not). Hopefully there are guys like Koehler and Harris who will help right away, while others (Majon, Pepper, Murphy, etc) could be cornerstone pieces for the next 4 years.

Interesting BW write up by 3 Man Weave here

Although the author picks us for 7th place in the BW, he is bullish if Squire steps up and fills the point guard spot, and if Harris is able to translate his JUCO success to the Ags.
