    Weird...Kstate site says audio only.

    I followed your link but only get audio. You have video?

    Good point. I know they descended on the Pavilion on the 22nd and will be there through the weekend. I guess maybe the 21st might have worked, but maybe they needed a day to get the site ready. All I know for sure is that we didn't request to host because of the robots.

    From what I overheard, we probably would have been awarded this game if it weren't for the robotics competition. Unfortunate timing. And I agree, I doubt we get the next round unless Purdue/Indiana has an arena conflict of their own.

    I think you're right about the keys. At the games that I watched down in Anaheim I saw a team that looked very tight. They missed open shots, no one could consistently hit anything from distance, and just some terrible decisions with the ball. Basically playing not to lose. The two NIT games have been completely different. Free flowing, aggressive, and a certain amount of joy. Hopefully, this team shows up!

    Just FYI we did not request to host this game. There is a robotics competition in the pavilion. We did submit a request to host the next round if we get there

    I read recently (and I'm sure it was brought up on the football board) that they did spring workouts early so guys could use spring quarter for studying abroad. Again, what a nice benefit our student-athletes get by coming to Davis.

    Nice article about what student-athletes must deal with.

    Haven't seen anything yet. I'll post whatever I see.

    Dr. Mike, yeah you're right, plus I think they had a player who was from the area and they wanted to get a game close to where she was from to get the local family a chance to see her play. Still, I thought it was a nice gesture.
    And yeah, BGA, I saw that score and thought it was a little classless. Didn't realize their starters were still in after half.

    We drew 4,712 to the game against Ucon in 2014. A record for women's bball.

    I would imagine we'll put in a request to host if we make it through K st., but we'd be playing either Indiana or Purdue, so it doesn't seem likely.

    And on a side note, I know we've been D1 for a while now, but as a long time D2 fan, I still get a kick out of seeing UCD in the same sentence as Indiana, Purdue, K St. in any sport.

    And I think wbb is different than mbb. In men's tournament, i get the control the power five conferences have, and it's all about the dollars. but in wbb, part (maybe a small part) of the job of the tournament committees should be to grow the game, and it just makes sense to me that giving a worthy mid-major a home game would help grow the game. I always admire UConn for coming out to Davis a few years ago. Part of their reasoning was to bring the top players to an area that doesn't normally see them in person and in so doing, perhaps get a few more local girls to play the sport, or a few more fans to make women's basketball part of their viewing habits.

    I saw that too. Little enthusiasm on their message board and only 1,300 at their game against Utah. Too bad we're not hosting.

    Go Ags!

    Great win. On to the sweet 16

    Here comes the pressure
  • WBB: 2018 WNIT Tournament
    This is about as dominating a performance as I’ve seen from the Ags. Need to keep the pedal down.
  • WBB: 2018 WNIT Tournament
    hope we can keep up this shooting pace. Wyoming just keeps hanging around

    Bertsch is almost unstoppable
