37-31 Ags at the half. Unfortunately, Anigwe was limping heavily going to the locker room.

And now Anigwe is injured again. We can’t catch a break!

TY back in the game.

TY out of the game. Might be concussion protocol.

Anigwe is back but Beasley is in street clothes.

What did he have to say about this year's recruiting class in general? Did he have comments about any specific athletes?

The Vegas oddsmakers have the Aggies as 2.5 point favorites for tonight's game. The big question, of course, is whether Beasley and Anigwe will be healed up enough to play tonight. We went down to the wire in the loss at Long Beach without them but I think we would be most definitely the underdog if they are unavailable.

Beasley has a groin injury and Anigwe has a leg injury according to the Davis Enterprise article about the game.

Post-game comments from Coach Les:

“It was a great underdog effort,” said Aggie head coach Jim Les.

“Our effort and intensity were there and our guys played their tails off with an unbelievable effort. Our play was just superb and I couldn’t be more proud of this group. You know how I hate to lose, so I don’t say that lightly.”

“We had to change things up at the last minute, but our guys really responded,” Les added.

In the absence of Anigwe and Beasley, 83 percent of UCD’s points came from Pepper and Johnson, who entered the game averaging 20 and 16 points a game, respectively.

Johnson tied his season and career high with 32 points, while Pepper had 28 for the second straight game. The two combined for eight 3-pointers to keep the Aggies in the game. No other Aggie had more than four points.

Pepper added four rebounds, four assists and four steals in what has become a routine effort for the Aggie junior.

“Those two were awesome,” Les noted. “We leaned on them more than we would have liked to, but again, it was a tremendous effort and we just came up a little bit short.”

He limped off the floor with under 2 minutes but came back for the final half minute or so.

Ags fall 67-45.

25 TO's for the Aggies. Turner had 20 for the Ags and no one else in double figures.

Riverside 72 San Diego 65 - Final

I hope were healthy and have Beasley and Anigwe back or it's going to be very tough for us.

We got a total of 6 points from our bench...ouch...

58-36 LB at the end of the 3rd.

I backed it up and watched it a couple of times. I didn't see the foul from the camera angle we had but the instant, vehement reaction from Les, Nosek and Johnson tells me that there was contact and it didn't get called.

Tremendous effort by the team to go down to the wire without Beasley and Anigwe. We needed some offensive help from someone off the bench and we didn't get though. 32 from Johnson and 28 from Pepper. I think we would have won this game by 10 if we weren't missing 2 starters.

I expected that they would dominate us in the paint but we really got hurt by their fast break points also and too many of those were when we didn't get back in time. I would like to see Manu get some more playing time also. It seems like Les likes Losé as a defender more and gives him lots of minutes but I think Manu gives a little more offensive punch and he's looked pretty good to me when he has been able to play.

Defensive breakdown leads to a LB layup...down 3 with 7 seconds left.

Down 1 with 57 seconds to go...LB ball....need a stop!

Pepper comes back...down 3 with 57 seconds to go....

....and now Pepper goes out with an injury....
