I watched a bit of the Irvine game - they are really good. The are deeper than any other team, and have a variety of ways to score. Add in the fact that they play tough and smart, and it’s clear why they are at the top of the league. Still surprising that we beat them AND barely lost down there.

Poly will almost certainly go 0-20. Ouch

I agree with your points.

I think that Beach loss turned into 2 - a hangover vs. Riverside two days later. Win that one, and this road trip doesn’t matter. Oh well

Irvine wins big. We have to lose twice and the beach win twice for them to pass us.

I think I’m going to Henderson!

got it!

shouldn’t that be 17.5 for Sac in the ‘if you don’t count’ category ?

Ron Gould apparently is the new running back coach for the Rams. Was at San Diego State last year.

On the island, they were 12-20 from 3; last night, 6-20. That’s a big swing. Several of those were desperation heaves as the shot clock was expiring. We also held McKoy to 9 - he was clearly frustrated. I thought our two bigs and Ade did a nice job (even though DaSilva went for 20). Les was gushing about the defensive effort and smarts.

The sequence with Pepper’s four point play, followed by a 10-second violation, punctuated with another Pepper 3 was as loud as a I’ve heard the Pavillion in some time. Then Plough came out during the following time out to fire up the students, and the fun continued! Considering that came just after Hawaii’s run to cut it to 4, that sequence was amazing.

Almost as exciting was the 8-0 run, fueled by forced turnovers, to start. Team looked fresh and energized again!

Bako beat UCSD - let’s replicate that and hope Irvine beats the Beach Saturday.

we’ve beat them the last 3 times at home; here’s hoping it’s 4 after tonight.

Hope the seniors don’t come out too emotional; easy to try to do too much in your last game.

he was fun to watch.

Heck, I’d be happy to have Beasley still with us; we could really use him off the bench this year

this tough stretch has been so tough to watch because I really like the players on this team, especially Pepper. Let’s hope they get it going tomorrow and that carries them through next week.

I was really hoping for a top two seed because this is the best shot we’ll have to get to March Madness for a bit, unless we can bring in a couple impact guys

that was in the 'this week in Aggie athletics' email sent today.

'Players being honored are Elijah Pepper, Kane Milling, Niko Rocak, Ade Adebayo and Sam Manu.'

apparently this is the last home game for Rocek. Was surprised to read that today

I really think that with each Pepper miss, the team energy and confidence drops. It does in my house watching!

The second half of the season has seem several repeat games with 20 point swings - UCR, CSUN and Bako. Weird

Looking ahead, I think we’ll at least claim the fourth spot unless Hawaii goes nuts on the mainland. Although UCR has an east last three, and I have no idea what the tiebreaker would be (maybe best victory, which would be our Irvine win?)

looks like we’ve lost confidence and spark; second chance points and hustle plays are killing us, and nobody really looks like they want to shoot

One bright side : broadcast quality is good, and I like these announcers

it’s crazy; shot looks perfect but hits back rim. Having a hard time getting over the jump here with only TY scoring,

I just don’t see us coming back tonight; nothing is working and we’re really pressing.

Bako is not very talented; crazy we’re down 10 with 15 to go.,
