once we stopped them on the offensive boards, we pulled away. I was listening to radio driving hand and I think they said they had 12 offensive boards in 1st half, 1 in the 2nd! Shooting was outstanding, much of that due to good passing. Defense was really good; beside #4 and his drives to the bucket, he shut them down when it mattered.

I really liked Stokes’ fans tonight despite only hdvd : points. He was tough on the boards, especially in second half, played good defense and brought a spark!

925 in the arena and it was a quiet 925!

so, is 18 good? Like golf, a lower number is better?

we started with same week last year, with Thursday falling in the 2nd. With the number of teams and trips to Hawaii to work in, it seems like they have to ‘start’ now to get games in before the tournament. Thankfully they scheduled the first week back in early December or we’d have games in late December snd first week of the new year.

We seem to be 4-5 point favorites with 67% probability for a win. They swept us last year.

School is out, steady rain forecast and FBS quarterfinals…..hope we break 1000 fans tomorrow

I was starting to write my NCAA petition to try to get my year eligibility from Freshman football. I figure the poor NCAA officials need a laugh from the idea of 50-70 old years arguing that Frosh football deprived us of NIL earnings!

Here is a link to the silent auction for the night. You can bid online as well as at the event. I’m hoping they offer a trip on the charter to an away game - that’s a fun experience that should bring in some bucks.

got it! Thanks for clarifying.

this sounds like a new action to allow him (and others) yet another year:

We will be rolling out the Tahoe Blue uniforms for this one (not sure about Saturday) -> still a little disappointed we didn't wear them vs. Reno!

Not NBA, but G-League. Thierry Darlan played for the Ignite team in the G-League, and is now playing for Santa Clara.

There is a suit just filed that will not count JC years against eligibility. Vanderbilt QB Diego Pavis is one of the names attached -> he is trying for a SEVENTH year of eligibility! Tennessee QB Joey Aguilar out of Brentwood/Antioch is also one of the plaintiffs. They are arguing that 'NCAA’s rules “unjustifiably” restrain athletes’ abilities to earn money under name, image and likeness rules.' I believe the gist of the Connors suit is along those lines.

Sloppy game. Played with intensity in defense, especially in first half, but couldn’t hit open outside shots. Almost had issues getting good shots against their zone. It’s hard to focus when you know you should win by 50….even Les was subdued!

I asked radio guys about Sevilla - they said they thought it was nothing serious and he would have played had it been a normal game.

Interesting - Menlo, who we kind of struggled to put away, is currently 1-10.

they are 0-11 with an average deficit of 30 points…..and that’s vs D2 level teams. I think you might be leaving by the second media timeout.

Anybody planning on attending? I expect I’ll be there solo - wife doesn’t seem too interested with 2 big west coming up later this week. Trying to entice her with a good post game dinner

95 points. Over 1000 yards of offense. Two last minute drives. Just a great football game to watch!

he also played in 2007 at Aggie Stadium in what I think was the most entertaining game at the stadium .

He was outdueled that day by Matt Engle!

I had forgotten about him. He’s starting at LSU and averaging 7/7 a game. I didn’t expect him to play like that at that level.

I was just checking the roster for the Pioneers. Kind of an interesting mix. 7 kids from CA, a couple for TN, a couple from AZ, one from Austrialia (va Orange Coast College) and an mixture of other states. A couple don't have a hometown listed, which makes me remember my wasted youth watching professional wrestling on Channel 40 with the masked wrestlers hailing from 'Parts Unknown'.

I’d kill for an Abedayo!

During the broadcast. They mentioned ISU opened big sky play vs sac so I thought I’d check on the final four bound hornets. Currently sitting at 4-7 with 3 D2 wins and another against perennial powerhouse Presbyterian. They play CSUN tonight. Hopefully Dr Shaq can get their ship pointed in the right direction cuz they’ve run out of D2 schools
