A little more about yesterday in Moraga

Yes, it was in Moraga and the students there can get it going in their smallish venue but we never expected anyone to out-tough Utah State in the paint. Gary Wilkinson and Tai Wesley haven't been dominant of late but it's not like Omar Samhan and Diamon Simpson are the Fearsome Twosome.
