Send in the nuns!
No one expects . . .
. . . To kill a joke with dry pedantry. But I guess my point is that no actual Aztec ever came within say 1,000 miles of what is now San Diego, since their city and empire were far, far away. The first empire to poke its nose around here was the Spanish one.

The thread title momentarily threw me for a loop...I asked myself we're playing South Dakota State? The body of the OP uses the conventional SDSU.
Whew, confusion dissipates...

5 pm Eastern kinda sucks for us. Is there a game before ours that may delay our tip-off by 30-40 minutes, or am I going to need to leave early to "beat traffic" on Monday?
I’m not sure how high powered the Aztec’s offense is. They are a well coached team, with Dutcher taking the baton from Fisher quite smoothly. I’m not very familiar with this year’s team, but they tend to favor long athletic players, but are searching for someone to pair with Jalen McDaniels (6’10”, 195) in the post. Matt Mitchell is a strong 6-6, 240 and they have a senior point guard who appears to be a decent shooter.
They won big in their last game by running against a tired, overmatched opponent.
If Duke comes out fired up on D, this one will get out of control very quickly. If SDSU can limit turnovers, run a patient half-court offense and get Zion and Barrett in foul trouble, I could see a relatively tight game for a while.

Hopefully the team is taking them more seriously than this board!
Don’t know if we have a serious basketball specific post yet and we are deep into page two.. not that I’m any different, this team is something from my imagination only. Against a good MAC team, Duke sat Cam (the #3 or #4 potential draft pick for a half) and kept the same advantage. Imagine any other team doing that... ever!
The ceiling is the roof
This one will bring back memories of the 2015 tourney that kicked off in Charlotte when we handled SDSU pretty well
Do we know how Cam is doing going into this game? Was is injury minor enough to where it won't matter?
Getting this thread back on track... how long do you think we'll continue to start Bolden? Right now our best lineup is clearly the four freshmen plus Jack White. But long-term it makes sense to let Bolden develop because he gives us more positional flexibility when going up against a team with a scoring big. Kentucky has a good front line and our small lineup did great against them, but I still think Bolden is a key piece to our team reaching its peak.
At the moment however, I would argue that Bolden is 7th in our rotation behind Jack and Javin.
Don’t recall a thread ever with the word Visigoths mentioned.
