Rough game for the Ags. I do like the way they fought back, but they go through these droughts were they can't buy a basket. With all the foul troubles, we were forced to play some very un-conventional lineups, which can account for some lapses. But I can't argue with you BGA, the way they are playing right now overall, BW will be tough.

Just an awful first half. We came out with energy and I like the pace, but these terrible refs have taken any kind of flow out of the game.

Quite the lineup we have out there right now. Hennings/Mooney/Micheal at the guards. I like the energy Hennings is bringing.

Some horrible horrible calls.

Lots of ticky tack fouls on the Ags.

Looks like Goode is healthy again. Nice to have the team at full strength again.

I caught a bit of the second half. It was really no contest. USF had no one who could matchup with Betsch and they didn't double team her. Passing and moving without the ball was excellent. Don't know what happened to Nagel, hopefully something minor.

Perhaps the guy we want for OC is still with a team that is currently (or very recently) playing.

Good game for the Ags. Not an unexpected win but we'll take it.

Yeah, I'm sure he was counting on Berry to be a big cog in this years team, in addition to losing Monson with a year's worth of eligibility left.

It will be interesting to see what Dr. Blue does. I generally like Les' in game coaching, but he really hasn't recruited the level of athletes we should. Yes, Chima (the Josh Fox re-incarnation), was a great find, and Henn has shown something as a true freshman, but we really need layers upon layers of these types of players (or better) to be competitive with other quality mid-major teams.

I watched a volleyball game a year or two ago in Hickey and thought it was a much better experience than the one's I've seen at the Pavillon.

Ha, my daughter totally agrees!

I'm in the same boat. It seems like we've moved from the bottom of the big west to the middle. When do we consistently get to the top?

Can't add much. That first half was possibly the worse half of offensive ball that I've seen from an Aggies team in a long time. Our poor offensive execution led to so many easy transition buckets that it masked what I thought was pretty good man defense. The 1-3-1 zone, on the other hand, just gave Cal wide wide wide open 3 shots that they didn't have to work hard to get. A couple of passes and their best 3 point shooter would be wide open. The man defense seemed to slow down Cal, and the doubling of their post players seemed to be effective.

Well, I expected a loss, but I was hoping for a more competitive loss. I know the record doesn't really matter (just what happens in the conference season and tourney) but winning several of these last OOC (and not just against William Jessup) is going to be important to build just a bit of self confidence.

absolutely. No stupid fouls. I imagine we'll use zone to try and protect our "bigs".

I've got my tickets. Hoping for a somewhat competitive game.

yeah I learned it in band way back. I'm fine with a 30 second cheer that is totally unique (quirky) to Davis. But if they decide to retire it, I won't miss it.

OA, you make a good point. Hopefully the powers that be will at least look into the situation and make a well thought out decision.

For what it's worth, I saw Goode around town this weekend, still in a boot. Doesn't mean he didn't get it off the next day. Just hoping he's back and in game shape by the time league starts.
