I remember many things about that game, very few of them basketball-related.

1. I had lost power from Super Storm Sandy for 10 days, but fortunately got it back right before I was scheduled to leave for San Diego (I would not have left my house if it had no power).
2. The game got postponed a day due to bad weather (so much for that song about the weather there).
3. Because of the postponement, SU got kicked out of its team hotel and was forced to find another one.
4. When I boarded a plane in NYC,  I had no idea where I was going once I landed.  Fortunately, by the end of my flight, they had found a new hotel.
5. San Diego harbor cruises are very interesting; you can watch Navy SEALS training in the water.
6. At the game, I was seated near Stephen Strasburg,  an SDSU alum.  He was very pleasant.
7. An outdoor basketball game ... on a ship... in bright sunlight ...when it is windy ... is not a good idea.  Players had to look into sun while shooting,  and the wind played weird tricks on the ball ... especially on 3-point shots.
8. SU adjusted better than SDSU, and took very few  3-point shots.  SDSU, in the other hand, kept taking them ...   and  made something like one out of 18.
9. SU won.
