Agarwal with 11 points might be working his way into more play time. He was 3-5 from downtown.
Moss also showed good potential. He ended up with 10 points in 8 minutes and was 2-3 from outside the arc.

We play #7 Texas tomorrow morning at 10 AM PST. It's on ESPN2. I predict quite a different result than the Green Bay game.

Both games could be a blowout win for the home team.

Yeah, I think it would be a moral victory if we could make this a close game.

Well, Texas really struggled in their first game after the felony domestic violence arrest of head coach Chris Beard.
The Longhorns needed overtime to beat Rice, No. 191 in today’s KenPom rankings.

I'm not interested in moral victories. Moral victories don't get you into the dance (not that I'm expecting this team to do that or even come close).

You're right, a loss is a loss. However if we played a close game against Texas I would have more confidence in our ability to win a few conference games than I would if we got blown out.

Up 1-0 with 39 minutes to play. Don't anticipate any stoppage time.

Hanging around 28-31 at the half after being tied 26-26. Preferred walk-on Gealer has earned himself some PT and scored on a baseline floater.

Now down 55-40 midway through second half. Oh well, it was close for a while.

We lose by 10. Well, it could have been worse.

Gealer played 11 minutes and had 5pts. I don’t know what Agarwal did after the last game to get only 6 minutes and score 0, but we could’ve used a few more makes. Down by 16 at the worst, battled back to within 4, but then reverted to form. M. Jones was high scorer with 17 but from what I saw, his misses of open shots stood out more than his makes.

Here we go again. Any particular reason why this game is in Santa Cruz? The arena looks even emptier than Maples (for a men's game, not women's of course).

We are playing outstanding basketball so far in this game. We lead Loyola of Chicago at the half 37-20.

Very nice half, especially on defense.
Of course, beating mid-majors and small conference schools is not getting us into the Tourney. By NET rankings, our best win this year is against #236. Loyola is 218.

The lead is now 21. Nice to enjoy watching Stanford men play basketball.

Crazy how different NET is vs. KenPom. KenPom has Loyola #122.
