Not sure what adjustments we made between the matchups with these guys but we really stifled their offense. Commentators kept mentioning how many times, especially in the second half, that they were forced to shoot with less than 5 seconds on the shot clock.

I do wish Les would use the bench more in the second half. I think Daugherty and Cooper have become reliable contributors (and Daugherty is showing he can score) but their minutes are almost exclusively in the first half. When we have a night where Sevilla isn’t scoring, we’re limited to TY and Tamba as scoring options (Leo doesn’t look very confident shooting these days). I think that’s a big reason we can put teams away.

8 league games to go. Can we go 4-4? Considering
an Irvine rematch and 2 with UCSD, that would be a good finish. 11-9 might be a top 4 with some luck (we have a tie breaker over UCSB).

once they showed a wide view, you could see there was a decent crowd. It’s a really big building so it looked sparse. It says it holds 4000; not sure I’d guess it was nearly half full.

TY was something else! Big win. Hopefully another road sweep to come!

Going to OT. Not a great final look. Just needed one more FT to end on top. Damn

That should hs d been an illegal screen on Askews shot to tie. 57-57 with 40 seconds our ball

51-49 us with about 4 to go. Just can’t pull away

Went away for a bit and now ESPN is all screwed again! I can hear Les get a T but dark screen. Shit

Nice comeback there. Down 30-29 at half after ridiculous 3 pointer by Askew

12 point run by the beach and we’re down 25-20. We look lethargic. Sloppy on offense, missed shots and poor defense. 4 1/2 scoring drought

Wow. There is nobody there. Big change at the beach

I’m in.

I’m not a big ESPN app fan

I tried clearing the cache on ESPN app on fire Tv, and restarting and still the same issue

I was just about to ask. Says it will start at 7 snd we’re 4 minutes into the gsme

no players. All the coaches. Pretty big crowd. Many of the same old faces but many I don’t recall seeing before. Similar crowd size to the first couple Hawkins years. First time on campus instead of El Macero (remodel!?)

Following in AgAlum’s comments, a big theme was much of the recruiting cycle success was retention - the Connor twins, Simonson, Nova. And, almost all the coaching staff is back. He also mentioned that the vultures will be out in April trying to lure Rex away and how it’s a priority of the collective to help him hold to his commitment to stay.

I find Plough’s comments about the positive parts of NIL (Bain’s opportunity, recruiting tool) refreshing. Sounds like they helped Bains find a great landing spot AND helped set up a financial plan to help set him up for his post football life.

ESPN shows us as 4.5 favorites. We also have to be aware of other guys and how that affects seeding. I think, in addition to winning tonight, we root for Bako, Fullerton and Poly to lose. Although. We might want a POLY victory tonight (we do have a tie breaker over them). And root for USCD and Irvine the rest of the season (they are secure as top 2). A top 4 seed doesn’t seem in the cards with our schedule, so I’m shooting for 5-6.

I didn’t think about it at the time, but we didn’t see Roberson on the road trip after his cameo vs Hawaii. That’s a bummer

I thought the $2.5M was to be used toward the $5M FBS application?

are you guys going to the signing event Wednesday?
