Tip off is 8:56

I listened to much of the 2nd half. Turned it on when we were up 13 and…..sorry about turning it into a cliffhanger!

Greg Wong is good. The abrupt transition from him to KDVS broadcast (foreign language bossa nova music) was, uh, interesting!

Need solid games from Borra and Rocek because DaSilva kind of had his way with us in Davis. If they get him going and hit 3s, they’ll be a tough game

too bad they didn’t want to win enough in the regular season to save his job!

We’re 1-point underdogs but a couple of the odds/prediction sites like us.

How did we go vs Poly during the season?

He’s been so much fun to watch throughout his career. Great player, hard worker and great teammate!

UCSD had been ‘selected’ to participate in the CBI. Comes with a $27500 fee; seems worthwhile expense to reward the players who stuck around without a opportunity to play in the Big West championship (and beyond)

green valley resort is a really nice place and was cheaper than most other Henderson hotels.

Well, until they slap on the $50/day resort fee - then it evened out!

the two teams that stand out to me are:

1) Irvine - very deep, many ways to score, defend like crazy and very well coached.
2) UCR - they are coming on strong. They can score and are very well coached.

I can see Bako winning a couple - they defend very well and their physical style seems to really disrupt teams. I was hoping Fullerton snuck by them.

Plough.

don’t know - not sure what number he was!

Looked like the first backup was #2, then Harper.

Watching the scrimmage was like watching old wrestling matches where the bad guy was from ‘parts unknown’. Lots of mystery players.

I thought Miles looked sharp and more mobile. Maybe having a QB whisperer back will help.

Hard to estimate the crowd since a bunch of folks were standing along the concourse. With them, west side was close to 1/2 full.

I’m passing. My wife has a commitment next weekend so it would be me solo. The old days of cheap trips to Vegas are gone. A flight and hotel in Henderson was around $1200!

Let’s hope CSUN has a nice 2-game run

it’s always good to chat with you and the family. As for the ‘game’, I was a bit underwhelmed. The constant music and constant sideline banter was a real distraction to me from the action on the field. Seemed to take away some interest from the between quarter activities too.

As AgAlum said to me, having some kind of program would have been nice to help us identify who was who. Like the backup QB.

One thing that caught my ear listening on the way to the spring game : Marsh said Rocek might be back if he can get in a grad program

I thought an interesting fact you shared with me is that they are inviting some 400 recruits tonight!

Wong graduated in 2015:

I think he’s really good on the radio broadcasts of football and basketball

he has at most 3 games, unless the post season bid comes to us. I doubt he’ll play big minutes on Saturday, and going off for 25 or more in the BWC tournament game.

He’s 91 back after last night

Rocek looked fine when he was in. He and Borra totaled less than 10 minutes. I think it was a strategy to combat their 3 shooting.

This was especially sweet to me cuz I thought the Tritons had WAY too much fun at our expense at Davis. Pope played 35 minutes in a 33 point win, and had at least 15 points well after we gave up the ghost. 3 starters with 33 plus minutes, and firing 3’s just about every time down the court early in the shot clock. Nice payback win.

That was only their second home loss; other was a 2 pointer to SDSU.

That DeBruhl miracle shot was the key. It was slipping away and that gave us some life, and caused a bit of desperation with them.

Les coached his ass off to get us to the finish line with all the fouls. Starting and playing Tamba over Niko seemed to pay dividends. They pounded it inside, shooting way fewer 3’s than at Davis.
