27-21 Aggies at the half. We were up by 12 but got sloppy in the final 2 minutes and Riverside cut the lead to 6. Norris had to sit out for nearly the entire half after getting her second foul in the first 3.5 minutes of the game.

Ags on a 15-1 run and lead by 7 at 22-15.

Tied at 14 at the end of the first quarter. Riverside's pressure defense and quickness has bothered the Aggies but the Ags finished the quarter on a 7-0 run to tie it up.

Riverside comes out with more energy and aggression than the Aggies and the Ags have committed 5 fouls early including 2 on Norris in the first 4 minutes.

It does seem that when we go cold on offense, we get out of sorts and things start breaking down on both ends of the court. We miss a few shots and it's like it's contagious and everyone goes cold and then we start rushing our shots and it gets worse. Maybe it did become psychological at some point because it was happening so often. It was tough to watch because you could see the disappointment in the players body language. We'd continue to play hard but you could really see the frustration.

Tough season for the Aggies but my wife and I have enjoyed following them. They're all great, young men and they'll be able to take what they learned from their sport and from their education and carry it forward into the careers and lives ahead. I wish all the graduating seniors all the best. Aggie Pride...

Considering my age, that's young!

Toke, I don't think it's ever been a chemistry thing. We've simply not had any consistent offensive firepower this year and we've been overly dependent on our defense. You just can't win on defense alone. Poor offensive numbers and a lack of depth has been our Achilles heel this year.

Another disappointing loss in a disappointing season...7 straight loses to end the season. I know the team feels terrible but they always played hard in every game win or lose. We just didn't have the depth to be able to compete with consistency.

Jim Les has a lot of rebuilding to do prior to next season and certainly before we begin MWC play in 2026. This program is not on an upward trajectory.

Our defense has been asleep at the wheel in the second half.

We shot 65% in the first half and that was an anomaly for us this season. What we are seeing in the second half is, unfortunately, what we've seen this team do a lot this year especially in late in the season. When we go cold, it affects our defense and everything starts to unravel.

The lead is down to 2. This is exactly what I feared would happen. Poly is breaking down the Aggie defense and Ags have gone cold.

It's great to see Losé playing well tonight. We can use his help off the bench.

I'd be for that.

Poly likes to run and shoot and they do it very well. Our defense needs to be locked in and disruptive in the second half. Poly is capable of exploding and taking over the momentum. Our defense needs to make sure that doesn't happen.

The BW is primarily a SoCal conference and I think they feel like Vegas offers a lot of entertainment for fans in addition to the tournament.

Our defense needs to tighten up. I'm not sure we want to get in a shootout with Poly.

It's on now.
