Yep Ags finally get a win. Sounds like an ugly game but we’ll take the win.

Let’s go Ags!!

Awesome!!

I think you’re right, they will figure it out. Wouldn’t surprise me if we start to see some different combinations out on the floor.

Two games in 2001 at central Washington (cold cold severe wind) and at western Washington (freezing cold down pour). I think we won the wwu game 6-0 and hardly threw a pass. Both were as miserable weather as I can remember

A team that starts 3 seniors and a junior really shouldn’t be struggling to start the season like this. Yeah they are trying to work in some pieces but the veteran players should be playing better together

2-22 now. Ugh

No video because of conflicts with the PSU football game.

Time for Aggie basketball to get one in the win column!!

ah got you. Upgrading our home video/audio is absolutely needed

I’m with you. Scott is very good and it’s tough listening to some other announcers

Yeah I hope these beatings help push the team to higher levels and not destroy any remaining confidence.

I think you're right about Michael's defense. We haven't found the right combination, yet, to replace his defensive effort. I'm guessing we might see Mooney there for a while. He might not have Michael's man on abilities, but I think he plays a good team defense (knowing the right rotation).

On a side note, it sure was nice listening to professional announcers yesterday. Of course they were siding with Arkansas, but I thought they very fair and even in their announcing. They even went into a little detail about Printup and how the team adapts to playing with a deaf teammate, and Aggie EVO got a little airtime. It was nice to hear a quality broadcast after having to turn off the last few Big Sky announcers.

I'm all for the defense first philosophy, but we had quite a few open 3 opportunities, with the ball with our "best" shooters, and couldn't convert. I don't care how great your defense is, you have to make open shots.

I thought our best lineup last night included Neufeld on the court. He gives us a little inside presence that we don't normally have. And John, though better, is clearly still getting back into b-ball shape.

It'd be nice to win 2 of the next 3 games (UT-CC, UTA, SucSt) just to get some confidence going, both for the players and fans!.

We seem to rush our shots probably due to their length.

Yeah we are still not shooting like we need too or can

Well, the Ags finally started playing better ball. I'll take down 7 at half.

I don’t expect a win, of course, but a better effort would be nice. We need to see something to build on. Hopefully John is closer 100% and maybe that takes some pressure off Siler.

From Twitter:

Friday home games are a little unusual, aren't they? Hopefully they'll be a decent turn out. I know they are offering free pizza to students, free tickets to UCD Staff, and discounted tickets to vets/service men and women. I sure would like to know if John is back, or will be back soon. He's clearly an important piece to our puzzle.

Go Ags!

Both my kids did travel/club ball, and it is very expensive. But they wanted to do it not because of some wild notion of a college scholarship, but because they liked playing the sport in a serious way, with other kids who were equally motivated. They both played little league and/or rec ball in addition to travel ball, but they got tired and frustrated with other kids who just wanted to screw around or didn't even show up (having a game cancelled because the other team didn't have enough players would always bum them out). And they wanted to learn from knowledgeable coaches, not just the "dad" coach who didn't really know much about the sport. And that costs money! I know that the big club my daughter played V-Ball for did offer scholarships based on income level, but even with that, it was still expensive. But now that they both have moved on, some of our best memories are of traveling to different locations around CA, making great bonding moments both on and off the field. It's expensive, but I'd definitely do it again.
