  1. A lot of non-attendance comes from higher education studies at schools that are not affiliated with a religion. My dad had degrees from three rather prestigious universities. Although he was raised Lutheran, I attended more synagogues with him than Lutheran churches. (6-0 IIRC.)
  2. Let's not totally discount Johnson's possible value this evening. UConn's big man, Clingan, shoots just 58% from the line so Dutch might consider putting Demarshay in the last few minutes of the first half to just foul Clingan and then go back to the bench.
  3. I thought the Conquistadors eventually played at Golden Hall(?) downtown so their attendance wouldn't seem so pathetic. As for Jim McInnes, I still recall getting out of night grad school classes circa 10 p.m. wired from vending machine coffee needed to stay awake during boring lectures and then getting into my 4-banger Toyota pickup and blasting KGB on the way home. https://www.facebook.com/photo/?fbid=10230654512610475&set=ecnf.1352762859
  4. Bingo. Pre-Viejas SDSU's facilities were abysmal. The Aztecs either had to play in tiny Petersen Gym or to share the SD Sports Arena with the Clippers. The latter no-frills dump went into existence about exactly when Jack Murphy Stadium was completed for baseball and football. Petersen is still used for volleyball and it's fine for that but it held ~3K for hoops whereas the Sports Aroma (as DJ Jim McInnes called it when used for rock concerts) held almost five times that many fans. Imagine having to play half your home games in a tiny gym and the other half in what was constructed to be an NBA-sized arena. Petersen today:
  5. Hey, I attended SDSU's loss to UConn during Kawhi's final year and even though the Honda Center in Anaheim contained about 60% SDSU fans, the rest of the seats all contained Huskies who had traveled 3K miles and they were VERY loud. UConn has great fans; it's their head coaches that I can't stand.
  6. For sure. But even if the Aztecs get blown out, we can still hope Dan Hurley has a heart attack before it's over. (Just a mild one would do.)
  7. But for Fish, Dutch would never even have been at SDSU. But I agree about both being great.
  8. I pretty much agree but would replace "worse" with "isn't quite as good." However, SDSU didn't have a scorer like LeDee last year and Saunders and Byrd have improved significantly. And we have a coach who can laugh at his new sneakers whereas UConn's coach is loony.
  9. Just like his brother, Bryce Drew is an evangelical Christian. USU isn't a religious school and if I were an Aggie, I wouldn't want any part of either one of them.
  10. +1 to what has been said above. This team may be just as good on perimeter defense but it lacks rim protectors in Mensah, Keyshad Johnson and Arop and Waters isn't nearly the offensive force he was anticipated to me. Indeed, he has only rarely been an offensive force at all. My guess is the Aztecs will win ugly over Yale but then lose by 20-something to UConn.
