ps. Sage with four blocks. :strong:

61-49 Aggies, final.

It baffles me how ice cold this team can get for long stretches of the game.

Fourth quarter has been excruciating. :grimace:

54-32 Aggies after 3.

6 turnovers in the quarter for Davis won't make Coach happy.

I was thinking exactly the same words--not a perfect game so far, but not a lot to complain about (gotta make free throws!). Come out of the locker room with some energy, Aggies!

Whoops, I was looking at the women's schedules--I'll edit to clarify!

A quick glance at the women's conference standings makes me think that only Long Beach, Irvine and UCSD will have played 25 games by the end of the season? This does not include the conference tourney, but also assumes that they play all the rest of the games in their schedule. UCSB, for example, will only have 24 games by the end of the conference season.

Big West could be a zero bid conference if the NCAA doesn't lower the minimum game requirement. Heh.

edit: clarified which standings I was looking at.

Oregon just beat UConn, so by the transitive property of sports scores: UCD > UConn.

Good to see Sage back out on the court.

This is the key bit: "We will likely discuss this again once the NCAA determines if there will be a reduced number of countable games for postseason eligibility."

Lots of schools concerned about meeting a minimum # of games, including some of the top WBB names like UConn. I hope the NCAA drops the minimum # of games again this year. Forcing teams to take chances with their student-athletes' health is a bad look.*

*(then again, since when has the NCAA cared about bad looks? :p)

I hope Sage and Sydney recover and/or are ok!

Irvine commentators over at the Big West Boards don't seem to have noticed that Stobbart and Burns were out. Heh.

59-76 Final. Aggies couldn't overcome the Second Quarter of Doom, even with a 7-11, 21 point effort in the 4th.

Hall finishes with a respectable 15/10/6, plus 2 steals and 2 blocks--and 6 TOs, unfortunately.
Svanholm the next leading scorer with 13.

Deficit down to 11 at the 4Q media timeout: 53-64. Coach running a "medium" line-up of Turner, Konrad, Hall, Shine, and Harris. Interesting!

A brutal start to the third quarter, as well, but the Aggies recovered somewhat to only lose the quarter by one. Ugh. 38-55 after three.

Svanholm with 11 pts, Hall 9. Hall and Harris leading the rebounders with 9 and 5, respectively.

Aggie shooting percentage is actually a tick better than Irvine's, but Irvine has taken 17 more shots.

Ugly 2nd quarter has the Aggies in a deep hole 25 - 41.

Svanholm leading the scoring for the Aggies with 7; Hall the leading rebounder with 6. Irvine took 15 more shots than the Aggies--it's a miracle they aren't down by more.

Take some deep breaths in the locker room and come back out with a plan!

Need some defense and defensive rebounds.

Oof.

UCD 11 - 14 UCI. Both teams went really cold in the middle of the quarter.

Any watching on teev: are Stobbart and Burns on the bench?

Interesting starting line-up!
