Aggie Point Guard Endyia Rogers named MVP of the Raising the B.A.R. Invitational

All-Pac 12 transfer Endyia Rogers named MVP of the Raising the B.A.R. Invitational in Berkeley, CA

Coach Joni Taylor is already halfway to her season win total of last year, just a few weeks into the season. A big part of this early success is due to her and her staff’s work through the transfer portal.

Grad transfer Endyia Rogers reminded her opponents why she was a time All-Pac-12 by being named the MVP of the Raising the B.A.R. Invitational hosted by the California Golden Bears.

Rodgers’ help led the Aggies to a tournament championship, averaging 13 points and 5.5 assists during the two-day event. In the Championship game against the Golden Bears, she put 10 points and dished out five assists in the 65-51 win on Saturday.

The Aggies will hit the road again to take on Wake Forest on Nov. 30 in the inaugural ACC-SEC Challenge.

The Golden State Warriors debuted their new uniforms on Tuesday, and many fans had the same reaction when they first saw the design.

Golden State’s new jerseys, which Rakuten sponsors, use a different color scheme than what you may expect when you think of the Warriors. These uniforms have a much darker blue than fans are accustomed to seeing from the reigning champions.

While these are only the “Statement Edition” uniforms, which means they won’t be a regular fixture for Golden State, it’s still a surprising choice for the Warriors.

Take a look and see if they remind you of anything:

If you were like me, you immediately thought of UC Berkeley. These reminded me a lot of the California Bears uniforms, which at least makes some sense because they’re one of the closest colleges to the Warriors in the Bay Area.

Even the official Twitter account for Cal Men’s Basketball agreed:

But many fans also associated this with the University of Michigan.

There is a reason why some people see the similarity, though. Both schools have the same shade of blue, Pantone 282, in their official brand guides. You can see Cal’s here and Michigan’s here.

Golden State guard Jordan Poole played college basketball for Michigan, so lots of fans made the same joke about how he may have had an influence in the design process:
