Should be a close game the whole way. Ags high energy defense early on seemed to take a little out of them by the end of the half. Fullerton is quick and puts a lot of pressure on our perimeter defense.
First game for me in a while. I'm not a big fan of the 6:00 start time but being 10 minutes away helps. CSUF is favored by a point per ESPN. Hopefully we can minimize those prolonged scoring draughts that we ALWAYS seem to have. Go Ags!
Good to have Karly Eaton on as the analyst. Thought she did a good job for a rookie on the mic. My daughter has been complaining for years that the men's team brings back former players or coaches to do the color, but they haven't had any former women's players/coaches back. Now she'll be happy!
It's got to be tough having any meaningful practices with just a subset of players. Really hard to build any kind of consistency. Hopefully we see the aggressive Aggies tonight.
I think adebayos lack of time was more due to slo defense. The 1-3-1 zone that they played forced us to try and get better shooters in the game. Could be something more…
Talk about a team that plays to its opponent. Look really good in beating Oregon state and Utah st, and twice to UoP, but look bad at losing to lower ranked teams like slo, Pepperdine, and sac st. (Oh and the poets). Some inconsistencies can be blamed on such an uneven schedule, but hopefully we find some sort of consistency game to game.
yeah I was worried about Manjon with his early fouls as perimeter defense was going to be very important against a heavy 3 point shooting team like ucsd. He did a good job of being aggressive without getting into further trouble.
You know, if you had to play with only 7 players, this would probably be the 7 I’d pick. All the starters, your best perimeter sub and your best interior sub. Not ideal, but not as bad as it could have been
Stobbart and Burns being out really hurt, but of course we have to play with whoever is healthy. I liked to see both Harris and Brine make a few shots. We could use some more reliable shooters
Turnovers are killing us. Some because Irvine is aggressive but we are very sloppy. 3 TOs by simply not being aware of who was behind us. Just really poor awareness. Need to refocus
