Well that was really fun watching the Aggies' offense essentially win this game. Thank goodness that Siler, AJ & TJ were feeling it tonight because the defensive plan by Long Beach was a good one. They're very quick and athletic and their 2-3 zone pretty much took Chima out of the game offensively. They made the Aggies shoot from the outside and, tonight, the shots were dropping and we also got some very nice transition buckets. I thought we handled their 2-2-1 zone press very well also.

I wasn't sure if we would survive the last 2 minutes after Chima, Garrison and AJ all fouled out and we had 5 guards in the game. Some nice ball handling against their trapping press, some clutch FT's and a layup by Siler after breaking the press sealed the deal.

I was surprised that the official attendance was only 2169. It looked like more than that to me. I guess the trick is offer free food for the students and they will come...

Lots of contributions by all the Ags that got into the game. This was a proud win for the Aggies!

Great group of players, Oldbanduhalum.

I sure hope we get 3000 for the rematch. We could get even more if Fullerton continues to win and comes in here as one of the contenders for the BW title. I think the Ags will be more than ready for them.

The Santa Barbara @ Hawai'i game was a good one. UCSB came back from being down double digits to nearly steal the win with some amazing 3 point shooting. Both of those teams have some very good basketball talent. We're going to have a tough time against the Big West teams that have that kind of offensive talent.

Hahaha..those folks posting in that thread are are knee deep in bs...thanks for the heads up to never go over there to discuss anything...ever!

The rematch in Davis will be interesting. Fullerton plays with a lot of swagger and Khalil Ahmad talks a lot of trash and likes to show up the opponent with his body language after he drains a deep 3. He got a T tonight and had one against Long Beach. The rematch might be a wild one between these two teams.

This game was never in question after the first 5 minutes as Fullerton just kept draining 3's every time the Aggies made a bit of a run. We shot 3-15 for 20% from 3 and the Titans shot hit 10 of 20. The Ags were a step slow and often got beat off the dribble and Titans took advantage of that by either hitting a 3 or driving inside. The Aggie D just did't travel to Fullerton and we have to win with our defense because we are not going to blow anyone away offensively.

I've always liked Dedrique Taylor but seeing him go after his former teammate, Kevin Nosek, and Jim Les after the game was disappointing to see. The Ags are down double digits with their reserves in the game and he gets heated up and calls out Nosek and Les because Printup shoots and misses a 3 at the buzzer...give me a break!

Wow...nearly a brawl after the game. Fullerton coach and former Aggie, Didrique Taylor, gave Kevin Nosek and Jim Les an ear full in the handshake line. I guess he took exception to Rogers Printup taking a 3 at the buzzer after they had let the shot clock expire. His team wins easily by 15 and he calls out the Ags for taking a 3 at the buzzer...what a crock!

Fullerton is making a statement to the rest of the Big West tonight.

Players reach when their man beats them by step. Fullerton just looks to be more athletic than we are and, consequently, we're doing a lot of chasing. They have also beaten us with back door cuts and I thought their ball movement has been very good as well. They've got it going right now.

We're not quick enough to stay with their one-on-one shooters. They have players who can create shots off the dribble and drain the 3.

Fullerton 48-37 at the half. In the classic match up of the Aggie defense vs the Titans offense it has been all Fullerton. The Aggie offense is just so choppy. Fullerton is very athletically talented offensively. We're having trouble matching their athleticism.

He's suited up but not playing...might be under the weather...he seemed out of sorts in the game last night...

Khalil Ahmad just got a technical..and then TJ misses both FT's

The Titans are raining 3's on the Aggies...6 for 6 and lead by ten 26-16.

Fullerton comes out on fire and scores the first 8 points of the game on some impressive 3 ball shooting.

AJ John is starting in place of Garrison Goode. Hope Goode is not ailing.

The oddsmakers are currently listing the Ags as 1.5 point underdogs. This should be a high intensity battle.

Go Ags!

I'll have to put some thought into this since I've been following the Ags since 1972 and, at my age, memory becomes suspect! I think you nailed a lot of our best over the years though.
