The Dons are tall, so I assumed being outrebounded as a given. I also wrongly assumed they would drive more to the basket with their height advantage. Instead, I was surprised they were content in finding the open man behind the arc. They did that efficiently.

74-61 final. Dons played better offensively. I just learned those "USA" cheers were really "USF." :) I don't feel bad about this game since the Ags didn't really play any boneheaded moves, but my basketball IQ is really low. I'll let the professional armchair quarterbacks make a better diagnosis.

Moneke is hurt. He fell on his back. At least he is now up but moving gingerly.

Game is practically over. 69-58 with 102 seconds to play. Russell makes an appearance.

68-55. Difference in the game is Dons three pointers.

65-55. 3 1/2 minutes left. I don't think the Ags have enough time unless they pull another Northern Colorado type of win.

60-48 and Moneke shooting two. Momentum is going Ags way.

57-45 Ags. Arell just made a three pointer but the Dons are still shooting well.

52-38 Dons with twelve minutes left. Hmmm. Not sure what to say here other than Moneke has an off night and Dons are playing better offensively.

46-34 with 16 minutes left. Ags started strong but Dons are making more threes. Perhaps Oldbanduhalum is right that we should guard the perimeter.

Dons 38-28 at halftime. Referees are giving favorable calls to the Dons. A little frustrating. I don't think the Ags are playing badly, so I think there is still hope in the second half.

Dons 35-25 with 3 minutes to play. Ferrari from the Dons is a good shooter. Moneke finally made a field goal. He is largely silent.

Dons up 23-16 with seven minutes to play. Dons are raining threes and the Ags are racking up fouls.

10-8 Ags after 8 minutes. Moneke scoreless but he is fouled. Dons with six fouls already.

Ags up 6-3 after four minutes of play. Onyebalu with five points. Most of Dons tall players are bench players. Printup is a surprising early sub.

The Dons are ridiculously tall. I'm curious how the height difference will play out today.

I was trying to figure out if Mooney will play. He was in his warm ups, but he only participated in passing the balls around. I guess that is a "no."

I think i saw the Ags beat Santa Clara at Santa Clara last year.

I didn't know there was a doubleheader today. Dons up by 13 over the Hornets with three minutes to play.

That's weird. I could have sworn i saw the Ags play against San Francisco during the Stewart era.

Edit: I saw the Ags play at USF. However, it's likely the Ags played against a different team there.
