You're exactly right. Great shooting covers up some basic deficiencies. It's very frustrating watching 3 ags stand around while one opponent gets the rebound. I didn't see much of today's game, but turned it on near the end and saw us force a long 3-ptr (miss) only to have the one Lion in the key get the rebound. Game Over.

I guess the biggest surprise so far this year is the offensive play of Hall. I really thought she'd take over as the 2nd or 3rd option this year (behind Bertsch and Bessolo). That may still happen, as she definitely has the talent, but we are going to struggle until we find another consistent contributors. Kind of reminds me of John on the men's team. Both have the talent, just seem to be "off" so far.

Looks like we aren't handling the pressure very well. Good defense from our side is keeping us in the game.

Thats good to hear. Hopefully we’ll come out strong at home on Thursday.

That’s exactly how I judge these games against a power level team. My son asked yesterday at half time if this would have been our best win against a big name school. It didn’t happen but like you said it looked like we belonged.

Needed a nice blow out win.

Thanks for the updates Russ

Wish I could watch this one. Nice to see us shooting above 50%

In the past few years, when we were up with a few minutes left, we'd let guys like Hawkins or Lemar sit on the ball then create a shot or get to the line. TJ and Siler try to do that now, they just couldn't quite get it down last night. We are not going to be blowing too many (any?) people out, so we are going to have to learn how to finish games. There was a spot when we were up by 6 and John missed an open 3, sac st came back and hit a three and sucked all the momentum away.

I like Gonzalez also. As good a shooter as we have, and looks like he works hard on defense.

Yep 1-5 heading to 1-6. One of those years that you don’t worry about the record. It’s all about getting ready for the bwt in March.

The lack of offensive production from our big men was glaring last night. A tip in from Russell and a few free throws by Goode is all I can remember. I know we’ll never have huge pt totals from them but you have to have at least the threat to open up some options for the guards.

I did think it was Fullers best game. He got into early foul trouble but he looked more comfortable. Also nice to see Siler get his stroke back.

Always look forward to this game. My son and I have gone to the previous years, and since it's held during Thanksgiving break, he's home so we can make this one again. Like BGA said, the Golden 1 is a great facility. We usually try and get there pretty early to walk around and take in the whole atmosphere.

Hopefully the defense shows up for a full game tonight. The offense will come around, but until then, the defense needs to carry us. Go Ags!

I think you’ll see Konrad in the starting lineup for now. She’s got good height, can drive effectively and hit the outside shot when needed. Bertsch looked like she was pressing in the first few games but she was on point today. She has developed a nice 3 pt shot that should give defenses fits. Neither bessalo nor hall are in mid season form. Bessalo needs to not force her shot. When she shoots in rhythm she can be deadly. But she can push way too much. Mckowan looks like she can shoot although I didn’t see her today. Stobbert comes in for bertsch and they have logged some time together. I think we’ll see some good contribution from her when she gets more used to d1 speed.

Overall the team has struggled to come together but today they looked a lot better. They still struggle with turn overs but there’s no doubt they’ll be there near or at there top of the big west.

Good win for the Aggies on the road against a pac-12 team. They had no answer for Bertsch. Ags looked much better overall.

Cougs can’t stop Bertsch. Ags by seven after 3.

yeah our ft shooting was awful. There was a point in the second half when we missed two, fouled them on the rebound, they made two that seemed to really deflate any confidence that we had. I will say I thought we played with better energy than earlier in the season

Ags down 38-30 at half. Showing a little better offensive flow. Defense needs to guard the three point line better. Should be a competitive 2nd half.

Espn plus is showing it

Awesome

see you at the golden one! If you’re looking for a place to eat beforehand Sauce is right next door and pretty tasty.

absolutely. Funny how things have changed
