Bertsch now two points from fifth on the Big West scoring list, as noted on Twitter.

Free throw and three point shooting were not good, but more than balanced out by points in the paint and good defensive rebounding.

70-44 final.

27/7 for Bertsch, 13/8 for Hall, 7/5 for Bessolo, and 6/6 for Konrad.

Coach clears the bench with a 1;20 to go.

54-30 after three.

SB's stats page isn't showing me for sure, but I think the Gauchos only had one made field goal in the 2nd quarter.

37-18 at half. SB shooting 20% (!!); Davis shooting 52%. 26 points in the paint for the Aggies!

Morgan and Hall still leading scorers with 12 and 9, respectively. Cierra also with 6 rebounds.

SB has clearly decided that they do not want to be beaten by threes; however, their defense is leaving holes and lanes and Davis's motion offense is making them pay in the paint.

29-12 halfway through the 2nd. SB takes a TO after a few too many hustle buckets in the paint for Davis.

Ciera Hall has really gotten over whatever early-season issues she had and is board-clearing and banging and being a great contributor.

Starters are shooting well, bench is not. Morgan with 8; Hall with 6. Defense limiting SB to under 30% shooting.

18-10 after one.

I think the coaching staff will be looking for fast starts and no lapses during this road trip.

Great feature on five of the WBB team members that are in the College of BioSci:

I was thinking too much standing around waiting for them to score, but your theory is just as likely.

That was more of a reaction to the score than the lineup, but yeah, it'll be interesting to find out what coach was doing.

What the heck?

The Aggie offense is a thing of beauty when it's clicking. :up:

Yup. Three Aggies finished with four fouls, too, so good work playing hard with that hanging over them.
