And not on an aircraft carrier this time.

Since they're a west coast team they should put our game later in the day imo

My alma mater vs my daughter's soon to be alma mater! Obviously I am Orange all the way, but a loss would not send me out on the ledge as it normally would. so excited, and no play in!!!

 

[Orangezoo]

Best part is we are in. Good defensive team but a game we can win. Tough but doable.

Seth Davis was quick to claim us as controversial of course.

They have shooters.

 

[rocklloyd]

Do they see a zone on a regular basis?

We could lose in the 1st round or go to the Elite Eight. Every game is winnable. We need to be healthy and bring our A game.

Wow. SDSU is a rock solid squad. Bunch of winners. Remember, they would’ve been a #1 seed last year, but the Tournament was cancelled. Don’t fall for the smaller conference narrative or live off the Aircraft Carrier game from 9-10 years ago, tough challenge here for any squad, including ours. In recent times, the Aztecs are easily the second-best program on the West Coast, with only Gonzaga being superior.

 

[syrBossHogg]

They have one player over 6'9" on the roster. Their starting guard is 5'8"

 

[Orangefan1]

We beat them on a ship we will beat them again

 

[CorduroyG]

that looks like the worst possible scouting report we could see lol

 

[Footey04]

I like our chances!!!

I always feel pretty good once tournament time comes for cuse...teams that aren't use to our signature zone seem to get so flustered from not seeing it throughout the year.

 

[Orangezoo]

SDSU is a tough matchup. I watched most of the MWC tourney. We can beat them. They are experienced but don't have the same star power as last year. Our length should give them some problems. Not a game where we have to make up a major talent or size gap.

They are a physical team somewhat like Va Tech. Overall excited for the chance. We have the better offensive talent. We can also play our smaller lineup against them more if need be.

Need to add that they aren't some elite rebounding team. They usually rebound around even especially in the last 5 games.

"GREAT match up. Shut down Buddy and we win by 20"

Quote from the SDSU board.

I will ignore the fact he was responding to someone that said it was a bad matchup for them.

We can beat them, we need to keep up with what we’re doing. Bras needs to be ready if Griff is off and if Joe is starting he needs a super quick hook. Good draw to be able to keep Marek in for as many minutes as possible, shouldn’t get beat up. Biggest guy we need to step up is Q. Think he’ll have a great game.
