Day Before (the) Game Half-Court Shot. Don't know when the actual tradition started, but they've been posting pictures on social media for the last 2-3 years now. Team (and coaches) all line up and take half-court shots--if you make it, there's a silly posed photo with everyone. Looks very fun. :)

Example from Twitter last year:

Rachel Nagel appearance in one of the DBGHCS photos on Instagram along with a note that she is joining the UCD staff. Doesn't say in what capacity or for how long. :chin:

edit: now I can't find that post. Mysterious!
edit 2: found it! Was on FB.

Plus, no turnovers.

Both still there.

We're all SLO fans tonight, right?

Also, this highlight from last year is :eyes:

ps. Morgan made a steal on a bad pass from Sophie and scored on a last second breakaway to end the scoring in that game. Morgan's line for the evening: 7 pts, 3 rb, 2 as, 2 st, 2 bl in 30 min.

pp.s she's playing on the same team as Megan Gustafson again--random!

Morgan Bertsch sighting during these highlights of Sophie Cunningham--#22 in blue.

I'm feeling pessimistic about the Davis offense's ability to score when needed--kinda think UCD takes the L here, but would be happy to be proven wrong.

They must not receive federal funds?

Pumpkin colored for Halloween? :D

It's too bad the preseason show is on ESPN+. :(

14 of the Aggies' TOs came in the 4th quarter. I am sure that Coach will be using them as a teachable moment for the young players.

edit: fixed. ;)

Only thing that really concerns me about this game is that Svanholm still has a lid on the basket for whatever reason.

14 total assists on 21 FG. Burns with 5 assists (vs 5 TO) in her debut.

62-54 FINAL.

Aggies had 10 players with double figure minutes, including two of the three freshmen.

Leading scorer for the Aggies was Shine on 6-7 from teh field and 4-4 from the line.
Leading rebounder was TEAM with 9 (stats guys are a little slow in the first game, apparently), followed by a bunch of people with 3-5.
Three blocks for Stobbart. :strong:

(In case anyone is SUPER worried, Davis's lineup for the last 3-4 minutes has been the three freshmen plus two sophomores, while CSUEB is running 4 out of five of their starters.)

Davis still scoreless in the 4th with 37 seconds left.

Davis hasn't scored in the 4th. Fortunately, they are still playing good defense and it hasn't mattered.

Media timeout halfway through the 4Q: score so far this quarter is 1-0. That's not a typo.
