Damion Squire is in street clothes

The out of bounds call on Carter was the worst call ever!

I fully expect Poly to turn it around and get back in the Big Sky hunt...too much history of success over the years to expect anything else...

I've been to all the Causeway games at the Golden 1 Center and, although playing before an empty arena in Jonesboro, Arkansas is certainly uninspiring and difficult, playing in the vast Golden 1 Center can present its own problems. The place is so big that it's difficult for most players to feel comfortable with their mid and long range shots. Hopefully, we'll get dialed in before Sac does. A lot of points in the paint would be a great way to get going too!

It's a fun game to attend in one of the best, if not the best, basketball arenas in the country. The Golden 1 staff keep the atmosphere lively by filling all the timeouts and breaks with great stuff to keep the fans engaged. I hope we can bring home a win!

I haven't heard anything and we probably won't given the confidentiality of any personal medical issues.

Jen has to find a way to shore up the defense especially defense in the paint. St Mary's scored 83 points on 60% overall shooting and allowing those kind of stats will not win you many games. By quarters the Gaels shot 73%, 43%, 58% and 64% respectively.

Thoughts:
Katie Hall is playing at an extremely high level. She's fearless taking the ball to the hoop, stays in control with her shot near the rim and has a nice shot from distance.
Konrad also willing to play physical. Hall is always a competitor but her shots are not dropping with any consistency.
Trpcic was excellent handling the ball with speed and diving for loose balls...love her energy.
Bessolo has a habit of committing silly fouls when she gets frustrated from missing a shot. She needs to show more senior leadership and poise by simply getting back on defense without fouling or hanging her head. She has the potential to be so good.
Let the bench players have some PT and see who really wants to play hard on every play with energy.

When was the last time the women were 0-4?

Ags tie it at 62 and then the Gaels go on an 8 point run.

Amen!

Katie Toole is bringing it every game and she's the main reason we're back in this game. 38-31 Gaels at the half. SMC is shooting 59% largely due to our lack of interior defense.

I thought Emma Gibb gave us a few good minutes. She's not afraid to be physical. I think Jen should use her entire bench and play the players who are willing to be aggressive and play with high energy.

It's the lack of aggressiveness that is alarming...

24-8 Gaels after the first. I thought the Aggie defense was bad in the 4th quarter of the Santa Clara game and this was worse. Nearly all the Gaels points are in the paint off layups and the Ags did not commit a single file which tells me they are not aggressively defending at all.

19-5 Gaels with 2:17 to go in the first quarter. Gaels on a 17-0 run. Their first 8 baskets were layups.

The Aggie defense is atrocious...all of the Gaels 12 points so far have come off layups in the paint...

I was simply comparing Maier to the other great Aggie QB's at the college level. O'Brien is certainly the most accomplished QB we've ever had considering his pro career, but I believe, given what Maier has done in 3 years at the D1 level, he deserves to be ranked right up with all of our great D2 QB's. Again, he has proven himself against a consistent diet of D1 size and speed and that's says a lot about his accomplishments.

I'd put him right up there with them and remember, that although they all eventually went pro, none of them played against the level of competition that Maier has during their D2 years. There's a world of difference between the size and speed of the D1 teams and the teams they played against in the D2 Far Western Conference.
