Defensively SDSU has been playing the best in the country of late.

In their 75-52 win over Furman on Saturday, SDSU coach Brian Dutcher neutralized the team (the Paladins were 16-for-50 from the field) that upset Virginia. That's been the norm for one of America's best defensive teams. The Aztecs' potential to advance to the Elite Eight and potentially beyond centers on their defensive prowess. During its current six-game winning streak, SDSU's opponents have averaged just 85 points per 100 possessions. For context, Tennessee -- ranked first in adjusted defensive efficiency on KenPom -- held its SEC opponents to 92.6 points per 100 possessions this season.

SDSU, which shoots 60.5% from inside the arc, also got rolling on offense against Furman. If Matt Bradley (one of four double-digit scorers Saturday) & Co. continue to play defense at this level and find ways to get buckets, they'll be a difficult opponent to solve.

Worth noting: A Charleston-Furman path to the Sweet 16 was the easiest in the field.

Up next: vs. Alabama (Friday, 6:30 p.m. ET, TBS)

And for once, not only did the Gods smile on us, but we actually took advantage of our good fortune! Could the planets be aligned? 😉

Not SDSU’s fault that Virginia plays a style susceptible to getting clipped in a one game showdown.

We’re all sitting in the dugout. Thinking we should pitch. How you gonna throw a shutout when all you do is bitch.

and a 30 win season.

In the last 17 years there have been 7 MW teams to get to 30 wins. 5 out of 7 came from SDSU, 1 from former member BYU, and 1 from UNLV.  So if you only count current members the last time a MW team other than SDSU go to 30 wins was the 06-07 season when UNLV went 30-7.
