Game Preview
One more tuneup. An easy home match against the team ranked last in collegiate basketball. Tonight at 7pm we'll face off against Mississippi Valley State in what should be a blowout. It'll be a chance to get our offense rolling once more, just like we set the rim on fire against Manhattan.

MVSU has already allowed over 100 points to UAB and Murray State. They also lost to Manhattan 80 to 73. We're one of 5 power four programs on their schedule. So while, they're taking a beating the paychecks must be rolling in lol.

Last time out we saw a record breaking performance from Ruben Dominguez as he knocked down 10 three pointers. Yes ten! Most Aggies will be tuning in to see what he does tonight. I would love for the 3's to keep falling because the schedule picks up ahead. Rylan Griffen and Marcus Hill both shined as well. Mgbako made his Aggie debut, but only in the first four minutes of the game. You'd hope to see him get more scoring opportunities in this one.

Because, after tonight, we go on a tough 3 game stretch against power 4 opponents that include: @Florida State, @Pitt, and @SMU. A 3 game streak that can really define our season and what this team is made of. So tonight should be a confidence booster before the schedule picks up. Let's stay healthy, let's play clean, and let's get the win and let's get to work on Florida State for Friday.

They have their only win this year against…

..are you ready?

Mississippi University for Women

They are at least pretty balanced, they're the worst offense and defense in college basketball.

The speakers in Reed are on level 1,000 tonight.

Mgbako is warming up currently but I don't see Isaacs.

Their mascot is terrifying for all of the wrong reasons...

I also don't think I see Griffen

Griffen is apparently sick

I had to look this up because I thought it was a joke.

Fun fact the university used to be called the Industrial Institute and College for the Education of White Girls and they went coed in 1982 after the Supreme Court ruled they had to allow men.

Isaacs is back out there and is at least going through warmups

On Texags Radio Bucky mentioned the team was dealing with the flu and that he hoped it cleared up by Friday.

Also mentioned that he hoped the football team didn't get it.

Any insight from layup lines?

Mbako starting…

Hopefully we get more than 4 minutes tonight!

Isaacs is in

Pop is in the game!

New hair new Pop hopefully

Weird audio for anyone else?

Looks like Agee got in the same eye.

Jeremiah Green for three!

Some good effort from him so far.

that was a deeeep trey attempt from Mgbako. Looked pretty good on the way.

Mgbako's shot looks nice

I was just about to say this. It looks so pure.

There's a sweet trey from the wing. 7 pts early for Mgbako! Radio is nicknaming him Mac, is there a board consensus on if that'll stick?

Is Will Johnson and crew calling the radio broadcast at the same time as the TV broadcast? Or is he just used to calling action radio style?

And as I type that, the late radio audio cut away and no commercial breaks may be answering my own question...

Kinda like Jeremiah Green. Looks like he's not uberly talented but has good feel for game

lol that shot was less good

it's early obviously but I think we would've at least split Ok St/FIU if Mgbako was playing.

It looks pretty easy for him.
