I actually think we can win this game. They’re not a big team. They shoot well but they play slow. Let’s Go Orange!

I’m so happy! We can beat San Diego St. I looked at their schedule and they didn’t beat anybody ranked except UCLA early in the season and they’re no longer ranked. Plus, like Jazz said, they’re not big.

I think it’s a winnable game too! LGO!

That always terrifies me the most with this team - although JB seems to be more willing to rely on Kadary so that helps offset that a bit.

Plus, like Jazz said, they’re not big. Somehow always makes me slightly more nervous playing an unknown - I haven't really followed much closely this year, so have to read a lot more about SDSU. I'm encouraged by the posts here though

Excited!! SDSU does have some size though. One 6’9 and one 6’10 guy at about 230-235 for each. One comes off the bench. Won’t be easy.
Don’t see us getting past WVU if we win. Huggins is the formula which is kryptonite for our finesse style. Physical, athletic dudes who D up. Plus they can shoot and they rebound hard. They are like a more athletic Clemson on steroids. Oh well. Certainly better to be dancing and all engaged for this!

But I do think it’s winnable. Jay Bilas and Seth Greenberg both picked us.

But I do think it’s winnable. Jay Bilas and Seth Greenberg both picked us. That is what I like to hear. In the world's strangest coincidence I work with MORE people that graduated from San Diego State than Syracuse. How does that happen? Not that I work with many of either, but they're in the lead 2-1. So we need to win. They seem pretty confident, but they also do not follow college hoops all that passionately.

JB is pouring on the love for SDSU. I don't like to hear about "good defense." I feel like that's our achilles heel. Pressure defense, when it's solid, really tends to hold us down pretty easily. We just lack the athleticism to reliably make plays. That being said, JB is more than likely being as effusive as possible, so let's hope they're a slow footed bunch and we're hot from deep. It's good we have Bras playing well of late, and Edwards, makes us far more versatile.

I don’t really think UVA is that good this year (my good friend in Charlottesville who has season tickets doesn’t either) but I think SDSU reminds me most of a little more athletic UVA but without Huff. They have a small PG as well but better forwards than UVA. Really excellent defensive numbers and efficient on offense. They don’t score a ton. Just super sound with experience. They don’t beat themselves.

They don’t beat themselves. I was surprised we held Huff in check for as long as we did. The defense seemed much better against UVA with shutting down shots that seemed open all season. That being said, when UVA adjusted in the second half, we did not. It will be interesting to see how SDSU operates in the middle and who ends up there on offense.
