  • Chima Moneke Suspended Indefinitely
    Great vids, great story. Hoping this is just a small roadblock for him and it’s nothing too serious. We all make mistakes, we live and we learn. Tough waiting on this one. Let’s see what comes out of this

    I would say best case we’d be looking at a 14 seed. But realistically we need Moneke back to have a good shot at winning the Big West tournament. The road win vs Beach w/o him is reassuring but 3 games in 3 days w/o him would be brutal.

    Then if we somehow win the BWT, no Moneke basically removes any shot we’d have at all in the tournament. Keep in mind a 15 seed plays top 10 competition. Les’ teams are gritty and no doubt overachieve but he needs tools to work with. Chima causes mismatches against almost any opponent. Let’s hope he’s back soon.

    TJ is a beast! What a win. This team just keeps going! Liked coach Les joining in on the dancing post game!

    In terms of attendance, marketing needs to think outside the box to draw fans. I like the interviews at Woodstocks. Definitely a positive step. But perhaps something that will resonate with the demographics of the Davis community: recognizing professors/ projects, pro- environment nights showcasing our university’s green efforts, maybe even going after a wider geographic footprint: Sac, Woodland, etc. what more can the team do? 18 straight wins. Any other ideas?

    Thanks for the tip- messaged both as well. Who is in charge of streaming? The fan base, recruiting, alumni donations are all being affected. While our team just won 17 in a row in the Pavilion, this kind of crap is holding our program back. No excuses for this! I think we should message Jim Les directly. He seems like the kind of guy that would rectify the situation very quickly. Good win. Go Ags!

    Still no stream. Absolutely unacceptable! Can't even stream a game?! smh
  • UC Davis Dream Team Debate
    no, unfortunately not. I only heard about the great d2 teams including the championship squad
  • UC Davis Dream Team Debate
    Since I’ve been following Aggie hoops:

    Hawkins
    Lemar
    Payne
    Chima
    JT

    Was tough leaving Caligari and Ritchart out but I’ll take JT for defense, rebounding and the occasional monster slam. Outside of Mark Payne, the squad is mostly from recent teams. Shows the direction of our program
  • MBB 7 pm Thursday: Aggies (10-5 & 1-0) @ UC Riverside (5-11 & 0-2)
    I like that this team has shown they can finish strong. Coach Les called a few timeouts at the last couple mins to grind out the win.
  • Would Tougher Non-Conference Schedules Be Better for MBB & WBB?
    Frankly, if we want to be a good team, we need to be able to beat good teams. A phenomenal record against creampuffs doesn’t give you anything outside of hype. A balanced schedule w a minimum of 5 major conference level teams each yr would be ideal. It would give us a chance at an at large as well. I’d much rather go 0-5 or 1-4 vs top tier competition than blow out cupcake teams. The women’s team today would have a good chance against most major teams outside of the elite.
  • WBB 12:30 pm Friday: Aggies (10-2) @ Fordham (8-4)
    Ags let this one slip away. True road game against a good team, but it was tied w about 5 mins left. Now off to conference play.
  • WBB 12:30 pm Thursday: Aggies (9-2) vs Yale (7-4)
    Nice win. Ags had opportunities to blow this one open, but credit Yale for their late surge. Good win against a quality opponent. Back on track!
  • WBB 6 pm Wednesday: Aggies (9-1) @ #17 Oregon State (8-2)
    It was definitely a lost opportunity and no doubt we had the chance to win. But here’s the bright side. We held OSU to their lowest fg% all yr including their games against Duke and Notre Dame. And matched Duke in turnovers generated. It’s too bad we won’t face competition of this caliber again until (hopefully) the postseason. This is a dangerous dangerous team- and we can get better
  • WBB 6 pm Wednesday: Aggies (9-1) @ #17 Oregon State (8-2)
    Well there are some positives here. Last yr, we lost to OSU by 41 pts. Shows you how far we've come. 3 of the 4 quarters were within 3 pts. We lost this game in the 3rd quarter alone. This despite everything going wrong: shots weren't falling all game (our 4 most volume shooters went 13 of 56. Yikes!) and got outrebounded pretty badly (we absolutely need to fix this to compete w elite competition). I agree this team absolutely had a chance to win. They're scrappy and extremely disruptive. Generated 18 turnovers and a lot of pressure on OSU. If we can fix some of these issues over the course of the yr, who knows how good this team can be. Rough outing, but very promising if that makes any sense.
  • Aggie WBB up to #8 in this weeks Mid-Major Poll
    ya should be interesting. SMU was a big surprise in terms of margin of victory. That was a team that challenged ranked Cal on the road and beat the Hoosiers. Next three games should give us a clearer picture just how good we are. Not sure we’ll face anyone of that caliber in league play.
  • WBB 1 pm Saturday: Aggies (8-0) @ St Mary's (5-2)
    Wow. Unfortunately had to miss this game. Major props to the ladies on this very impressive showing
  • WBB 5 pm Wed: San Francisco (3-4) @ the Aggies (7-0) 1st game of a DH
    St. Mary's should be a good litmus test. Should be a tough game, particularly on the road. Last year, we won by 2 pts at home. Looking forward to this one.
  • MBB 7:30 pm Wed: Pacific (4-3) @ the Aggies (5-2) 2nd game of a DH
    Happy with the win, but outrebounded 42-22 in this game. We're going to need to address this. Siler and Chima looked great as always. Go Ags!

    Is the stream not working again? edit: Appears to be working again after being stuck for the first 3 and a half minutes of the second half. Someone needs to fix this. Seriously.

    Yep, being undersized, one of our key focuses has got to be boards. Overall looking good.
