Wow, I see that the Gauchos lost to UCSD and have slipped to 0-3. I wonder what's wrong with them?

Ags are blistering the twine at a 64.3% rate. Couldn't ask for a better offensive performance. On the Highlanders side, it can't get much worse at 21.9%. Given regression to the mean, this margin won't hold, so the game is not in the bag, but I like the way the Ags playing defense. As long as they can keep hitting their shots at a moderate rate, I like their chances.

Anyone know why TY isn't playing? The commentators said he wasn't starting, but gave no reason, only that he's "unavailable."

Too bad. Thanks

So Aggies are 2-0 along with CSUN and UCI at the top of the Big West.

No to Bossie Cow-Cow? Thanks. Yes, this is TY's second game where he has held the other teams best player to a lower scoring performance.

A solid offensive performance shooting 50% from the arc, about that well overall and 92.9% from the foul line. Plus good balance, Pepper getting his, but 7 other Aggies scoring .

With about 8 minutes left, TY has yet to score a field goal, but he does have 4 assists and 3 steals. Like all solid players, he doesn't need to score to contribute.

Ags shot 100% from the foul line for the first half!

Do they still yell Bossie Cow-Cow at Aggie games?

During one of the commercial breaks yesterday, they showed footage of the Varsity Theater in downtown Davis. I'd forgotten about that place. Man, it sure brought back a lot of fond memories.

Taking nothing away from the Aggies effort, it did seem like the Gauchos were out of synch a lot: making bad passes, not going to the boards very aggressively at either end and going 15 for 23 from the charity stripe. I suspect they'll be very pumped up when we go down to Santa Barbara on Feb. 1.

Just saw my recording of the game and finished it in real time. TY did a great job in denying Ajay Mitchell the ball. Mitchell only had 12 points and 3 assists. Meanwhile, UCD got 18 assists and a solid performance from Pepper who is clearly out of his slump (maybe it helps that he has the record now). The overall defense was outstanding, plus they had 7 offensive rebounds while holding the bigger Gauchos to only 2. Did you notice that the Ags were making their free throws?

Not sure when I'll be able to see this game, so I may be absent from this site for a day or three.

I'd rather have Jim Brown.

It's nothing like the NFL where they used to play 12 game seasons and is now 17 so any single season and most career records need to have asterisks. (This is sarcasm as I think back to when Roger Maris broke Babe Ruth's single season home run record.)

And Pepper breaks the record on a layup!!!

The brothers are even guarding each other.

I didn't realize until I heard Bob Dunning say it, but the single game scoring record of 40 by Corey Hawkins was set in Hawai`i and I was at that game. I am pretty sure it is the only win by the Ags (so far) at Hawai`i.

Looks like the CCAA is a merger of the old Far Western Conference with the southern Cal based CCAA and that's how UCD was in the CCAA for a while?
