    TY 3 for from 3! Where has that been all year. Ags take the lead in an 18 point turn-around.

    If the Ags have been working on their free throw shooting, it is not apparent so far and Pepper is still in what I think is a shooting slump.

    I only went to Stockton to see the Ags play Pacific once. I remember the court as being in the city for some reason. I wonder where they play now. I want to see if it's the same place I remember.

    I'm pretty sure this is the new reality, at least, as long as players continue to insist that they have rights, which could be (and should be) until they get paid as some have suggested, which might make them bound by some kind of contract.

    Just generally, I do not like how the transfer portal makes it so easy for student athletes to move from school to school. Specifically, I do not like how many young men at UC Davis eschew the benefits of a first rate education to move to schools (not names Cal or Stanford) for, what? More playing time? More NIL income? Dislike of a coach? What happened to the whole idea of commitment?

    Why are all of the Dakota teams always so good? They.re like the Alabama/Georgia of the FCS.

    Nuts! No sense in watching the replay, but the ESPN play-by-play site shows that T Y committed a foul with the game tied and 2 seconds left to allow the Panthers to win it with free throws. Is that the wholes story? (Although I do see that the Ags finished 3 of 18 from 3.

    Very frustrating half after they got off to such a good start. So many blown layups. I counted 10 points worth, so it could be 45-39, Aggies. Hope when I get back I can see that the team made the necessary corrections, got their focus back.

    Not exactly a shooting clinic. The two teams are a combined 2 for 16 from beyond the arc. Pepper is 1 for 4 and he has been having trouble finding his shot in recent games, I guess as teams focus on him.

    How does a guy who is 7 feet tall miss an uncontested dunk? Oh well, at least TY is playing up to his game against Milwaukee last year.

    Last year, the Aggies lost to Milwaukee in Wisconsin despite T Y Johnson's 32 points. The Panthers shot a blistering 62% from beyond the arc. What I recall from that game and seems to be their pattern this year is that they have a deep bench, with some high scoring guards coming off of it. Still, I hope the fact that the Ags are at home this time will make a difference. Wish I could see the whole game, but I have a major commitment and will miss the second half.
  • MBB: Aggies (3-3) @ Nevada (6-0) 6 pm Wednesday 12/06
    Just a personal note: When I was as student and UC Davis was in the Far Western Conference, I was able to go to every away game one season, because I was part of the KDVS broadcast, but I missed the Nevada game, so this was the first time I saw their home arena, which is a far cry from what they must have been playing in back in those days.

    I agree with you. I wrote that the officiating was "imbalanced" which is a polite way of saying "biased." While I don't think referees are intentionally favoring one team, I'e seen many who are overly influenced by the home crowd and I think that was clearly the case yesterday.
  • MBB: Aggies (3-3) @ Nevada (6-0) 6 pm Wednesday 12/06
    The game was rough and chippy, but the commentators seemed just as mystified by the technicals as anyone, so there was never an explanation for them and the Aggies who got called for it did not seem to have done anything obvious. They might have been critical of the refs, but who knows?
  • MBB: Aggies (3-3) @ Nevada (6-0) 6 pm Wednesday 12/06
    Well I got two out of the three things I wanted to see from the Ags: Another scorer in Milling who had 16 with 5 treys and better free throw shooting (by a little bit), but the turnovers were egregious. 19! many of them unforced as Nevada only had 5 steals. Between that and the imbalance in officiating (Ags outscored Nevada from the floor 58-50) cost us what would have been a nice upset.

    I'm glad but surprised that UCD has been hanging with Nevada, but mark the 10 minute point of the second half. If the Ags lose it will be because of a swing in momentum at this point.

    Oddly enough the Ags lead in rebounds 21-17. Rocak has almost as many blocks as the whole Nevada team.

    Very ragged game. Both teams played very aggressive defense in the first half, but the Wolfpack was pretty cold anyway. They rallied near the end with four made baskets in a row to pull ahead. Both teams shot under 40%. At lot of mysterious calls from the officials who either were not communicating to the broadcasters or the broadcasters weren't cluing in. Overall, not impressed with the refs. made some ticky-tack calls and missed some obvious ones. TY got two technicals?! Why?
