The Mountain West Champion San Diego State Aztecs will take their 14-game winning streak into Hinkle Fieldhouse tonight to face the Syracuse Orange. The 23-4 Aztecs offense is led by the Mountain West player of the year, Matt Mitchell. They average 74.4 points per game and, as always, have a stellar defense, allowing a stingy 60.1 points per game. The 16-9 Orange average 75.6 points per game, allow an average of 70.8, and were 13-1 at home, but when not playing at the Carrier Dome they were just 3-8. The Aztecs head coach, Brian Dutcher, might get overshadowed by the Q’s Jim Boeheim, but he shouldn’t. In his first four years with the Aztecs, they are 96-30. Impressive.
TONIGHT’S PICK: SAN DIEGO STATE AZTECS M/L
