I watched the UCSB @ Sac game and the Hornets are going to be tough opponent for us. Mikey Williams dropped 30 on the Gauchos and Jeremiah Cherry is a beast in the post. I'm hoping that our defense is better than the Gauchos so we can slow the Hornets down a bit and make it more difficult to for them to score. We were only 7 of 33 from outside the arc in our loss at Portland and, with the size and physicality of the Hornets' interior, we'll have to shoot a whole lot better than that from 3 because it's going to be tough going in the paint.

Gauchos wind 92-85.

The Hornets are going to be a tough game for the Aggies. Mikey Williams lived up to his billing with 30 points and Jeremiah Cherry, their 6'11 250 lb center, had 20 points and he's a load in the paint. Sac shot 53% overall including 48% from 3.

45-43 Gauchos at the half.

When it rains, it pours...honestly, this team seems snake bit when it comes to season ending injuries...

In the Montana State presser, Plough said that Fisher may need to run 20-25 times so that makes me think Vargas is still out.

I was there when he did that! He also used to stomp his feet so hard that I was sure he was going to break a bone.

I always felt that Ham was just venting his frustrations and anxiety but he didn't seem to personally directed at individual players.

That's disappointing to hear. I remember how "hot" Les could get early on in his first years at the helm of the Aggies but, in the past few years, he seemed to have mellowed out a lot.

Les is a great basketball mind and he makes great adjustments and decisions during the game and that's a talent that many coaches don't do well. He demands attention to detail and personal responsibility and I think he gets as much out of the talent he has as any coach in the country. His teams always play extremely hard especially on defense and good defense is tiring, hard work and effort. His teams often "overachieve" against opponents with superior, raw talent.

That said, "berating" a player to the point of tears is too much and, honestly, I think that kind of coaching does more to demoralize a player and the team as well in the long run. I get it, as a coach, you want your players to be focused and executing like you know they can but you also, most definitely, do not want them playing "fearful of making a mistake" and then getting overly berated for it. There's a place for getting a players attention but too much is too much and it's more damaging than helpful in my opinion.

Me too. No end in sight between Disney and YouTube TV in their contract dispute.

The Aggie defense kept this one close but, if you're going to shoot the ball 33 times from 3, you have to hit more than 7 for a dismal 21%. We missed having both Cooper and Daugherty. Fagbemi got 31 minutes but was 0-7 from the field including 0-6 from 3 but he also led the team with 7 assists. We didn't do a good job defending Foxwell and he led Portland with 24 points. We're very much a work in progress at this point with a lot of potential to be be a good basketball team.

Ags lose 67-63.

8 straight by the Ags to take the lead 59-57 with 4:44 to go.
